a few water droplets get on the monitor screen, and i wipe most of it off, but whatever, MY KEYBOARD!
i freak out about the keyboard, turn it upside-down to shake out all the water, and then i remov every single keycap, dry off what i can, and then put the keycaps back on.
moment of truth. i plug it in. i type. IT STILL WORKS!
i manage to type all of this, which still sits in a word document on my desktop: I just spilled water on my keyboard! And removed all the keys. And dried it out as best as I could with napkins. And put all the keys back on. And it still works! Woohoo! :D
i take this time to bring my focus back to what other things require my attention, such as wiping the few remaining little droplets of water on my monitor that i missed.
and then..
my computer starts tripping out. like, as if i'm holding the shift key down continuously. and the usb beepy sound happens a few times. uh oh. oh, and by now, the keyboard is non-responsive.
i tinker with it a bit more. yep, it's dead.
my computer doesn't recognize it, other computers don't recognize it.
well, i'm sending it in under warranty now.
so is the story over? nope!
the next day, my monitor is brokes. how is it brokes? no better way to describe it than with some pictures!
yep, a few water droplets seeped into the bottom of the screen, damaged something or the other, and now those vertical lines are permanently on my screen!
no warranty business for my monitor, because a) it's unbranded, and b) i've had it since my freshman year (september 08).
well, i guess it's time to finally upgrade from this horrible 22" 1680x1050 ppi. (pixels per inch)
tl:dr - a few nights ago, in one swift motion, i owned my keyboard and monitor.
