new keyboard

[lobelia321]

O wow, new keyboard! No more sticky keys. This is amazing. I'm back to typing at top speed. O, it'll be so much more fun writing!! The words just flow. Stop me, stop me, before I type thousands of strokes in one post....

They told me to immerse the old sticky keyboard in distilled water for 24 hours and then to dry it out for 2 weeks. Somebody else confidede they'd put their keyboard in the dishwasher. My mind boggles at this robust use of hardware but I'll try it!

Weeeeeee!

why was your keyboard sticky to begin with? too much tea spitting?

Well, I am writing my book proposal and an article. As in fanfic, I haven't written anything for a long while, ever since my job scare, and before that I wrote on paper only because the sticky keyboard was giving me grief. So on paper I have quite a bit of the revised Karl/Dom epic and I've been spinning it out in my head. And today I spun out a chapter of Desert Prince -- it was only the thought of the bloody keyboard that was preventing me from rushing up and typing it up straight away. And then the keyboard arrived in the post, wee! Now I can't type up anything, of course, because I've got to cook for the kiddies and put them to bed and read them Narnia and tidy the living room and and and. But still!!! Soon!

Although my priority must be my book and my article. Unemployment threatens.

Lobelia, darling, if I can ask a favor. The hubster and I recently went to see Bollywood/Hollywood, a mock Bollywood musical, and we're deeply intrigued. It's right up his alley as his favorite musical group was/is ABBA (yes, but I married him anyway) and I'm a sucker for kitsch. Here's the favor: could you suggest a couple of titles to get us started? Something easy for lazy American eyes to digest, but catchy enough to make my booty squirm?

The films I love:

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
(huge mega-hit of 1999; has Kajol and Shahrukh Khan in whacky college plot; huge amounts of kitsch and catchy tunes and allround fabulous feeling and I adore it)

Dil Se
(Shahrukh Khan's radio journalist falls in love with Manisha Koirala's Kashmir independence movement terrorist; stunning location cinematography, absolutely gorgeous and stunning song and dance sequences, beautiful scenes and a, for western eyes, very weird but successful combination of political thriller with musical)
