Laptop Laptalk
I’ve started my urban fantasy story for The Stinklings Month 2. My story stems from an idea I had a few years ago while watching a certain Disney movie. I’m actually sort of excited about it. I just punched out three pages and I think it’s going to be good. Are writers allowed to have positive opinions about their own stuff?
The SWARMiversary continues. Tonight is Super Mario World, one of Haley’s favorites, and a highlight clip show. That just means that we’ll be playing loads of the highlights that we’ve made over the three years of casting. I think we’re somewhere in the realm of thirty highlights. Not bad, not bad at all.
I really want a new laptop. Not even a gaming machine, I have a desktop for that. I just need a good laptop to write on, I’ve always enjoyed writing more on my current piece of trash laptop than my desktop. I think it has a lot to do with the keyboard and the fact that you can sit anywhere you want with it. I dunno. I’ve been looking for a while now, but I just won’t pull the trigger. Most of them are Windows 8, which is a hard no for me, and I’m very particular about the feel and the sound of the keyboard. Honestly, if I could find a new version of the one I’m using now, I’d probably be down for it. The keys are perfectly spaced, perfect height, and ideal sensitivity. The only thing bringing it down is that it’s something like ten years old and pieces are falling off the monitor. I’ve been emailing what I write to myself, just in case the moment comes when the bastard won’t turn on anymore.
I’ve tried Haley’s laptop, but I hate the keyboard. The keys are spaced, like, a mile apart. Andrew’s laptop keyboard’s keys are too big. Honestly, though, I’ve always been picky about keyboards. I’ve had the same one since 2003, and haven’t bought a new one because I just don’t like they way they’ve felt or sounded. Gogas actually has one that I kinda like, but, of course, it’s something like 80 dollars. A bit out of my price range. At least my G13 Gameboard is kicking ass.
