Oh you silly piece of technology! Diet Coke spilling on you is no reason to wimp out.

Faithful readers may have noticed a decreased use of colon or semicolon in my journal entries of late. This not because I have developed a grudge against that faithful punctuation mark--nay, I love the little winking thing. I am fully conscious of how silly it is to constantly use ellipses when a semi-colon would do the same thing with more grace--it's a useful maker, for sure.

The sad story is that my semicolon key has decided to go on strike. I beat it and pound it, but the thing simply refuses to go back to work like a good little minion should. We've degenerated to a system average of four strikes per typed letter, and that ratio is growing. I should probably take the whole thing apart and clean it.
