A depressing moment of silence

Listening to Alec Ounsworth - Everybody Knows this is Nowhere. This has to be the most depressing song I've ever heard. However, I can't seem to hit fast forward, so I guess I'll just wait for it to end. Definitely wailing music. Could be useful if you live in an apartment and want to aggravate your neighbors, not that I'm condoning that or anything, natch. ;)

I didn't get a whole lot accomplished last night. I went for a bike ride, had some trouble in front of the power plant, it's idling weird. The Russian says it sounds like the carbs need to be reworked, again. :( Hoping it doesn't take 3 weeks...it's supposed to be gorgeous this weekend and I want to ride!

We need to have a moment of silence for the Gateway keyboard. This is a keyboard I got with my first pc, in 1997. It died last night. As did my wireless mouse and the speakers hooked up (not to the gateway...I'm not sure whatever happened to that machine, I think I gave it away) to it. So today's lunch excursion will involve a trip to Best Buy for new toys. I'm thinking the super subwoofers are going to beckon me beyond my ability to say no. :) I need something really loud, this computer is in the basement next to my quilting frame, and I don't like to be interrupted when I'm down there. If it's loud enough that I can't hear the phone ringing, that's good. Anyway. Goodbye, good and faithful keyboard...it was fun while it lasted. :)
