(no subject)
I hadn't fully realized how dependent I was on the internet for entertainment until I got to the new apartment this morning (late morning, after critique session 1 [two is tomorrow]) and... nothing.
I put the new fishes and plant in the tank (five neons and two otocinclus), had some lunch, watched half an hour of TV, unpacked a bit...
...nothing.
I walked to the library, opened up AIM express... nobody on who I want to talk to. Checked e-mail... not much. Did a little job hunting online. I suppose I could make phone calls or drop by... don't have my resume with me, either in hardcopy or as a file, and I don't have any presentable clothes. I'm going home again tomorrow.
I'm trying to think of what I would be doing if I were home at my parents' house with no internet. Maybe I'd walk the dog, but it's cold and windy (WTF THIS IS JUNE). I could read a book, y'know, the dead tree kind. I'd probably cave from boredom and clean the cat box and rat cages and vacuum and so forth. I imagine I'll even do that here- go get some dish soap, unpack, wash, and put away my dishes, vacuum the place (two fluffy kitties means HAIR EVERYWHERE)... stare at my closet until I once again cave, and unpack the boxes stacked up in there.
If I were home, I think I'd call someone, and see if they wanted to hang out. And there'd be the familiar pets. I could knit. Most everyone I know is gone for the summer now, and...
GENIUS. All my knitting is NOT at home, just the two closest-to-done projects. The rest of it...
...is at the bottom of the closet. ._.
