My Interwebs is Broken

Yes, it seems that, every now and then, the internet service on this side of town gets transported back to 1994. Remember 1994, when nearly everyone was on a dial-up connection, and AOL still had a purpose?

It’s like that right now. Not AOL having a purpose, but the hyper-slow internet speed. Been that way all night. I was tweaking Crabby Night Owl for most of the night, doing in 5 hours what should only have taken about two.

I know, I know, starving children in China don’t even have the internet, so I should stop whining.

But I got used to high-speed internet when I was living in other cities. I want my high-speed connection! I need my high-speed connection. I’m not addicted to the internet, or anything. It’s just… Well, what else is there to do? Life without the internet is like a fruity tropical drink without a little paper umbrella. No, that’s not quite right, but do you see where I’m coming from? Yes? No?

If your internet connection became unusable, what would you do instead of being on the web?

But since my DVDs and my DVD player are still buried in storage, I just vegetated in front of my computer, watching YouTube videos. Although, once I got outside, I felt much better.

So, I’m back. Again. And I’m in much better spirits, now that we’re almost done dealing with my mom’s stuff.

So, thanks for hanging in, and for all 5 of you who were checking your RSS feeds every day, I appreciate you!
