I'm really ill. I have to get up to catch a plane at 7:20 on Tuesday morning. My plan is to be better by then.
Be a bit careful if it comes with a clogged sinus - flying with any sort of sinus clogging illness puts you at pretty high risk for bursting an eardrum.
The L button on my DS Lite just spontaneously stopped working. In the middle of playing a game. That is heavy on the L button. As in, I cannot play the fucking game without it. Fuck fuck fuck. >_<
(This is a rant because I died. I know it can be fixed by blowing on it.)
I think the ethernet network adapter built into my motherboard is cooked. It does not function under Windows or Ubuntu and the cord works when plugged into another computer. Windows is detecting it and attempting to use it; the network symbol with an X turns into one with a loading circle and then back to an X. Also, the lights are blinking in a pattern. The orange/red one on the bottom of the port does 1 long blink and the yellow one above does two quick blinks. Is that some kind of code I can look up somewhere?

This person has the exact same problem with the exact same component on a different mobo. Looks like I'm right, it's cooked.

Same thing happened to me. Those bumper buttons are the worst, seriously.
Knut died.
Awww, poor bear. That's too bad, he was still young.
Yeah, it's only a matter of time until this button dies completely. I guess that would be a good excuse to buy a 3DS.
Fuck that noise. Wait until you can actually confirm that it's worth $250.
Assuming I actually had $250 to spend on a game toy, which I don't. Given that I have exactly 5 DS games (and a missing supercard, which is effectively no supercard) and play the thing for a few weeks out of each year, I don't think it's even a question.
You could always just buy a new button and different color plastic casing for it. probably cheaper than a new DS of any sort.
I don't like to put a case on it. It makes it bulkier, and I have little hands. I like that the Lite fits in my hands. A plastic case adds too much bulk for my liking. Plus, buy a new button? That would assume that I can competently install it. Which is unlikely.

not quite what I mean. I meant a replacement housing.I don't know if you can get a new button or not but I've seen other replacement parts so you may be able to.
My math professor is talking about homeomorphic functions in class today. He doesn't really pronounce the o, and I keep hearing it as "ponymorphic.". I need some sleep.
Today my Theology teacher promoter flipped out at my class because several people lied about doing an assignment, then at me for not receiving the assignment when I was absent, when my assigned "study buddy" also was absent and no one I talked to even mentioned it. He gave me a 0/20 (drops my grade about 3 points), gave me an extra-assignment (not too long), and called me a "pseudo-intellectual" who "has ideas but can't follow simple instructions" (meaning I sometimes disagree with him). He said I'm "on thin ice" even though I have an 88 and am one of the few people who participates in class discussion. This teacher is universally hated by every student. This shit has to stop.
I'm going back to him first, but I'm taking this as far as I can.
edit: I'm not upset about him marking me as not having the assignment, I'm upset about the way he overreacted. I have almost no strikes against me for that class, but I miss one assignment and he completely flips out.
Last two days, I can barely concentrate long enough to cross the road before my mind enters a state where it feels like my mind is wandering but hasn't had time to work out what to wander on to.
Tried to go shopping and spent most of my time randomly walking up isles, only to reach the other end and turn back to get what I needed.

I did this with the tip of my thumb.
Unfortunately breathing is pretty important.
edit- here you go.

This:would generally be your fault, though.

Also, the school has an online service for assignments that would have prevented this problem, if he didn't refuse to use it.
