things that haven't worked in the past 24 hours

• Sanjay trying to Skype out to my cell phone last night--didn't even show up as a missed call.
• The hot water halfway through my shower.
• The internet connection this morning and at various other times today--slow and couldn't load Google Chat.
• Firefox on another computer--crashed. I screamed "I hate Windows." Actually those weren't my exact words, but my mom reads this blog.
• Various keys on this keyboard.
• The sound on this keyboard even with headphones plugged in.
• The USB port on this computer.

A reminder of all the things I often take for granted. Anyhow, writing a simple outline in Portuguese has been harder than it should be.
