Sad but true. Way to highlight rampant double standards, random deviant art twilight fan!

It's an inverse proportion folks. I expect it is kind of like how the more expensive a hotel is, the more likely it is you will have to pay for internet.

Hooray for the little guys.... That means you, Fort Lauderdale!

Last night I stepped in a fire ant nest. Not as bad as it could be - mstly this am is is like having some mosquito bites, after runnig i=untder hot water, taking an allegra, and having Daniel do some awesome distance reiki.

This morning, I managed to fall almost flat on my fact running with Jola behind the grocery store behind my house. I twisted the good ankle and tore up my hands and toes (better than my face). Jola didn't come when I called her, but she did go straight home. I gave her a treat.

Don't run in crocs, mmm'kay?

ETA - Also, between the time I posted this and when I eventually left the house, my internet wasn't working :p

I had given up on the showers here, because the water pressure is so crappy that it is almost impossible to get the shampoo out of my hair. Instead I figured I'd just do it in the sink, which might have been marginally better.... If the water hadn't run out! Run out! Bah! I had managed to get it more or less wet enough, but not actually wash the shampoo out. Grrrrr... >:|

On the other hand.... It seems like they have wifi in the lobby here. How I missed this information previously, I'm not entirely sure O_O I haven't trested it out yetr, but I'll give it a whirl for exia.

*sigh*

Not here, anyway, I guess I'm lucky :o

The power is out at school - it happened just as LeeAnne and I were leaving the gym. We thought we'd go get some fastfood and discovered that the power was down a lot further out than we expected. However it is on here, and at the Schlotsky's deli that is near Walmart, so we went there (the deli, not Walmart, though they do have a subway) for food and she dropped me here. I told her to call or come over if she doesn't have power and things are annoying, so we'll see.

I also switched to my temporary wired internet service tonight. it is kind of annoying, because it is cable internet and I only have one cable port. So i can't have TV and internet at once. This is not acceptable! I should be able to watch House while I put together my handout for my presentation *and* be online, but I guess I'll have to choose :V A long term solution would be to get one of those splitter things that lets you connect multiple coaxial cable bits at once, I suppose.

However, I'd also like to not that my set up did not come with any coaxial cable! the idea of having to buy all these extra bits so that I can watch tv and play on the net (something I don't even do that often) is kind of annoying though. I may not bother. But it is the principle, grrr....

Well, I am going to work on the presentation handouts. Sas tells me House is a repeat!

I had a really great time tonight. I got to hang out with people in person! it was not the people I'd *planned* on hanging out with, however, and i apologize to them -_-

Claire, a girl in my program, thought it would be a good idea to get people together to pick up the drafting supplies we will need for one of our classes from a local hobby shop (well really it is a big chain shop, but whatever) - we could all go together, so that everyone would have rides and also all be able to find and get what we need. So, I went and did that. And then we were silly for a bit in said shop, and then some of us went out and had dinner at a big fake Irish pub the name of which I forget. They had a menu where everything seemed to revolve around Guiness, however. I had the Guiness bacon cheeseburger or somesuch. It was huge, and delicious! I am sure I am spelling Guiness wrong, but anyway.

After that, it was just me, Claire, and Leanne, and we brought Leanne's dvd player over here and hooked it up to watch Velvet Goldmine. VG is one of those films that I'm not sure how I had avoided seeing it previously, but of course enjoyed! I think those two are Good People. I could tell about Claire after I noticed she was wearing the One Ring on a chain around her neck. Now if she'd been wearing in on her *finger* I may have worried ;)

We are planning to go see Snakes on a Plane, and possible see PotC2 (again), since Claire hasn't seen it. Both of these options please me.

In other other news, obviously my home internet is restore, and working better than ever. I have also managed to set up my laptop to use the school's wireless network, so score!

I am considering seeing if I can get in to check out the local LARP game on Friday as well - we will see what else is happening. However, I definitely want to see those people some more, as they were also quite fun. There may be room for overlap as well :o

Happy Birthday to my dad, who I was not able to call as planned because of the above impromptu socializaion, and more properly to my sister, who I hope receives her present soon :o

My internet is messed up tonight. I was booted for the last hour or so. they are sending out a tech on Wednesday, but if things persist in being retarded I may not be able to get on much between then and now, you have been advised.

*goes back to working on Pieces*
