Un peu maladroit
I own very few things. I try to own as few things as possible. The only things of any value that I own are my laptop and my guitar. The only things I have any sense of attachment to are my laptop and my guitar. The only breakable things I have are my laptop and my guitar. The only things I'm ever afraid of dropping are my laptop and my guitar.

Today I dropped my guitar on my laptop!

Hahaha! Unfortunately, neither one of them broke.

Were you wearing the guitar at the time?

As a matter of fact I was! I had some tablature open on my computer (What's So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding) and the computer was on my bed and I walked over to the bed while wearing the guitar and the strap slipped off my shoulder and SMASH!!! They both seem to be doing fine though. But What's So Funny ended up sounding more like Bill Murray than Elvis Costello and I'm not sure if that's due to a problem with me or the computer or the guitar.

How did you know that Lost In Translation is my favorite movie? You could do much worse than the Bill Murray version. Well, somewhat worse, anyway.

This reminds me of the old 'perfect pitch' joke

ie: perfect pitch is when you throw a banjo in the dumpster and it lands on an accordion

nb: I think banjos and accordions are both perfectly fine. I got nothing against your laptop and guitar either.

That's what you get for loving "things"!

I'm only joking, but it sounded like something someone's ultra-hippie mother might say

You've angered the spirits of consumerism.

a little story...

You got your chocolate in your peanut butter! ;o)

Reminds me of a story: One time my friend Cassandra (notorious for her DIY punk rock ways, a very sweet, but very DIY type of person) was locked out of her house. Try as she might, she could find no purchase in any window, door, etc.. She knew the internal door from the garage to the kitchen was unlocked, so she knew if she could just get in to the garage, she'd be able to get into her house.

This was occurring whilst husband Ross was out of town, and at that very moment (or nearly) he was heard to remark to friends, "Wow, it seems that since we've gotten married, Cassandra's kind of given up her Punk Rawk diy ways. She's domesticating..." The phone rings; it's for Ross. Cassandra is on the line telling him how she's rammed her car repeatedly into the garage door and finally gotten said garage door to open. She's in the house, but now the garage door needs to be replaced and the car will need to be looked at.

Ross starts laughing and says, "Well, I guess the question of your punkrockedness is now answered!" DIY!!
Cassandra's comment on all of this is: "Well, I thought I'd take the second most expensive thing I own, and ram it into the most expensive thing I own. Repeatedly."

I love my friends and their ability to laugh at themselves.

"For what do we live for? But to make sport for our neighbors and to laugh at them ourselves in our turn."

Ha, that's a great punchline!

Excellent! Excellent! Il nous fallait justement un remplacement pour Gaston Lagaffe.

I couldn't help but be reminded of this. Perhaps you should call the music store and demand they take responsibility!

But seriously...I'm very sorry about your laptop/guitar misadventure. Those are my only two possessions of value as well. Ouch! :(
