There are no updates on when my internet will be returned to me. The situation is fast approaching complete chaos and mayhem. These are in no way mutually exclusive and can easily be instigated by one single person. Me.
I'm going all viking here folks.
But before that I'll wax all poetic.
It is now day two since the darkness of unconnectedness descended on me like an angry swarm of...
Hey honey. What are them things that swarm?
Uhm? Bees? Mosquitoes? Squirrels? Oh hey how about having some Mexican food tonight? Fancy some tacos, mamacita?
No, honey! Focus! Swarmy things?
Huh?
Okay. Whatevs. FINE. Think about dinner. What do I care.
It is now day two since the darkness of unconnectedness descended on me like an angry swarm of them things that swarm. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. I'm here by myself as alone as...
Hey, honey. What is like the most lonesomest animal in like the whole bunch?
Sorry? A bunch of what?
Of animals, dumbass. Of animals.
Oh, so now I'm a dumbass, because I'm thinking of dinner and not paying attention to you, while you sit with your nose in my computer, using my work connection, while I could be working.
Playing Mafia Wars on fokken Facebook. That's what you would be doing. ....grumble...fokken...doesn't pay attention...grumble...
It is now day two since the darkness of unconnectedness descended on me like and angry swarm of them things that swarm. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. I'm here by myself as alone as a deer in the headlights.
Hey, honey. What's the 'deer in the headlights' thing again? Alone, right?
The what in the whatlights now?
A DEER in the headLIGHTS. That's what.
Uhm. Pumpkin. I think that actually means that you're like frozen or like paralyzed or something. I think.
Aw. Fok you man. What do you know about writing, anyways. If I wanted to know about sitting on my ass in an office and writing all sorts crap on the computer all day long I'd come to you, but now I'm talking about writing my blog.
Pumpkin, you make it too easy. I won't even make that joke. I won't.
Fok you man.
It is now day two since the darkness of unconnectedness descended on me like an angry swarm of them things that swarm. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. I'm here by myself as alone as a deer in the headlights. The only thing that I can do is to live in hope of a better tomorrow. Of an internet connection that will not be spotty nor die on me constantly. The internet connection of tomorrow.And dinner.
It's tacos.
Still no sign of internet.
What to do folks? What to do?

hahaha, this sounds like something out of the mouth of mah man. as does the response.
i'm very much loving your blog, and was just about to leave the house when i, hrrm, accidentally hit the refresh button and saw your update. needless to say i will be stuck in here for at least another hour now.
not that i mind.
i actually kind of prefer it.
ha, i meant that the response sounded like me. not him. i would never put up with such rudeness.
Now this just won't do...I'm addicted to your writing now. Screams of horror for you at the day 2 mark.
The internet gods will just have to fix it. One must just explain you have fans who will perish of new & unexplainable illness...Hey, it could work.
Loved the post btw.
What a beautiful poem. You husband doesn't seem to understand the importance of blogging as opposed to the importance of work. blogging > work always.
What to do, what to do, what to do...
Oh sorry, wrong song...
I just want my internet, my internet, my internet...
Right words, right song, wrong mantra, me thinks...
Okay, tacos it was!
See ya later alligator.
~~~Back to the grind~~~
Hell! Those lines couldn't have been better.
I soo envy your wittism and off the hook stuff.
Jussst loooved this one!
As for the internet, be patient with it.i know 2 days are like TWO DAYS!!
Funny lady, you made me smile on my way off to work this morning. Hope you enjoyed the tacos, although as I read your blog it is not even 8am and the thought of eating tacos is like, yuuuuuuuk.
When my internet goes down i usually pray to all 36 thousand gods of the Indian pantheon! Doesnt help since there seem to be some other universe for internt gods. But it does serve to distract me with wondering why 36 thousand!!! :P
As always, a fun read!
Lack of forthcoming good tidings re. internet evidently having its effect. Am sensing the development of nervous twitch..?
It is interesting how we get so attached to being connected by the internet, whatever did we do before????
when mine goes down, the disconnectedness is palpable, I also press refresh like it is some kind of magic button. It is like there is more important things going on in the net than real life, and we can't help feeling like were missing out.
Maybe an idea would be to go out and take some great pictures of your world, anything, just go outside...
Only one thing TO do....Get your tacos at Taco Bell and hope they have free Wi Fi!!!!!!!!!
what to do? Have some kick-ass tacos and a couple of icy-cold ones!
Not having a laptop, I unhook my desk computer and take it with me to the country house with dial-up (dial-up fer chrissake) because 3 days unconnected is just to much to ponder.
I feel your pain.
"them things that swarm" - ha ha, reminds me of the little boy in the movie I just saw. Australia. You would love it as the boy's humor is much like yours (and he's only 7 maybe 8). I think he calls sex, the backside of bidness or something like that. My husband says that shit all the time. "When we gonna do some backside of bidness?"
um, wow. again. WHY DONT I EVER HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO SAY ON HERE?

Love it so far ....
Have you got a library near by? You could use that to pass the time.
Here's a word for you from the verification: berherbe. Possibilities?
What a poem, what a conflict, and argument. It was very good read. It made me laugh at the silly insane things that happen in a day at any odd time.
Very funny stuff here, which is not a good thing as I busted out laughing - in the pharmacy - as some sick woman came up to me to ask my advice and I'm snorting all over myself. Oh well. There's always tomorrow, hopefully a better tomorrow...
I love this blog! U rock!
It is time to go cyber I am afraid (vs postal)....
