better a battle in front of me than a turtle lobotomy

Last night we played some Shadake at Lazar's place. While I was taking my laptop out of car, I dropped it about half an inch -- not even dropped-dropped, it slid about an inch down my arm as I failed to get my fingers around the end of it and the edge collided with the soft rubber bumper seal thing on the edge of the trunk. Apparently, this was enough to break it a little -- now half the time when it boots up, it complains that it can't find the touchpad during its hardware test. LOUDLY.

The touchpad still works fine, though.
