This is how my evening has failed.

First, I spilled my soup on my lap. Was still in exercise clothing, so I just changed into my pyjamas and that was the end of it. Later, I spilled cereal on the laptop (it was on the floor, I was in the process of sitting down and the bowl tipped). Cleaned it up. Put laptop on lap, resumed eating cereal, spilled it again on said laptop and this time also on lap.

Found pants for mock trial today at Goodwill, which was good. They aren't amazing on me, but they fit better than the ones I was planning on wearing, which are several sizes too big (though still much, much cooler than these new ones). Haven't yet gone over the case like I'd planned, nor memorized my examinations as well as I should have (I've never even tried to do it without the deposition in front of me, which is dangerous as that's not allowed at actual trial), which is not good. Must still shower and put away dishes (though probably in the opposite order) before bed.

Look, I think you just need to come to the terms with the fact that the Universe prefers you naked and wishes you to strip. And... your laptop too, I guess. >_>

You know what, I think you've got to be right. It knew that the only way the laptop was coming off of my lap was if it got ruined, so it contrived to do such a thing. Thankfully, it appears to have only slightly succeeded (there was a bit of a scare when the monitor part just decided to shut off--as the connection between the top and bottom halves of the laptop is where the milk hit the first time, I was afraid it was gone).

Spillage does not equal bonus. Definitely equals fail. For what it's worth, my cat once knocked over an entire glass of apple juice from my nightstand, which did splash onto my laptop. No harm, though, which was doubleplusgood. And, hey, finding good pants will always mitigate the fail, so good on ya!

Ouch! Especially something sticky like apple juice, I'd be terrified that that would gum something up in there. Silly cats. My dog has been all "Watch me knock you into things" lately, which is pretty also bad, especially because you can only halfway blame it on him as you're the one who actually broke the fancy glass. Sigh.

And good pants that were only $3 totally mitigates the fail, this is trufax. (Though if the laptop had actually died, the pants savings wouldn't approach the level of dead I would be.)
