Oh my god, INTERNET, I MISSED YOU!!!
I have had zero internet access since Tuesday night - Wednesday the guy we are borrowing the broadband modem from needed it back, so I spent my night watching DVDs and making icons. And yesterday and today, I didn't even have my computer, let alone internet, because it was off at the shop getting optimized. It was horrible - no internet, no computer on which to game/read/watch stuff, no books I haven't read a million times because all my stuff was in storage, and to top it all off, they were supposed to come hook up our cable, but they totally and completely failed to do that. IT HAS BEEN A LONG COUPLE DAYS, YOU GUYS.
What I Have Been Doing, In Absence of Internet:
Wednesday: went to the high school with
hanjuuluver . A worrying number of our former teachers are now teaching in prison. But we hung for ages in the library, and saw Ms Davy, and also Tiny Francesca, so it was awesome. Then we met my mom at Pei Wei, where delicious Thai food was had by all. We went to the bookstore and I bought one of the new Torchwood books, Pack Animals, which was as slashy as all the reviews suggested. And then my mom took us to one of her clients' to play with the miniature horses. Cute!
Thursday: read Pack Animals, which went rather quickly. Waited around for the cable guy to show up and be useless. Then helped my dad set up the TV and spent the whole evening watching Firefly, which were literally the only DVDs I had on me.
Today:
hanjuuluver responded to my desperate plea for something, anything, to do by dragging me out of the house again, thank her psychotic ass. We got fast food, and then did shopping. I bought the Dark Knight special edition DVD for my dad's Christmas present, a 30 dollar JoAnn's gift card for my mom's, and a copy of Son of a Witch just for me. We also went to the mall, which was unsurprisingly horrifying this time of year. This evening I went with my dad to a hockey game, where we were humiliatingly crushed by Colorado. And now I am catching up on my flist and running scans with my expensive new virus scanner program. Good times!
