back to basics

So, I have been forced to revert to the darkages of the internet again. Dial up. Goodbye streaming radio feeds and having multiple browsers open and actually having them all loading pages at the same time. I miss you, wireless internet connection, I miss you.

The reason for this atrocity? (sorry if the spelling is off more than usual, but using the dictionary online is horribly slow on this computer) I was at my parents house helping my dad last night and received a call from my landlord about the power at the house. I figured he just meant that it had gone out for some reason, but no. One of my lovely roommates, who is never ever there (seriously i have seen him a total of less than five minutes in the two weeks that i have been there), has the electric set up in his name and apparently he has decided not to pay the bill anymore. And apparently he decided this four months ago. So, yeah. They turned our power off yesterday. But it should be back on at some point today. Which is a good thing. In the meantime...I got to spend the night on my parents short couch. And I guess I fell asleep and somehow managed to change the channel on the tv to PBS before dropping the remote, because I woke up this morning to the very disturbing sounds of the TeleTubbies. That'll give you nightmares!

So, I am still currently at the parents house, no work today, just waiting till I have some electricity to go home to. I knew this move was going to make for some fun stories! But really, these are the things that make life fun. Just glad I had a warm place to sleep.

It almost tried to snow here yesterday.

Hope all of you lovely people out there are having a wonderful day. I am going to go now, before I go any loopier than I already am...


mood: sore, dirty, and wishing I was working. But really pretty good!
music: "Silver Bell" - Ray Conniff (hey, the music selection on my dad's computer is QUITE limited. besides, it's almost that time of year...)
