on a far too regular basis, my mouse stops working. if i simply unplug it from the keyboard and plug it back in, it comes back to life. and there are frequent hiccups where i think the mouse has died, but it has not. it's practically a greek tragedy.

another random thing: sometimes after i've typed stuff into a text box in safari (like the one i'm using now) and then let it sit for a few seconds (or the focus moves?), the text inside the box reflows for no apparent reason whatsoever. very odd. it's a very peripheral-vision sort of moment, where you're not really sure that anything has really happened. (after playing round a bit more, it appears that the text is getting reflowed when i mouse over the buttons to submit the form. very bizarre.
