Internet(less)

I was internetless for a few days last week because the router decided that it wanted to stop working and start making funny noises.  The noises weren't good, but I wish it well in its future as a noise maker.  I got a lot done and I watched a movie... no big deal. Here's what happened when I told the Old Man...

Me: "Looks like the internet is out because the router is broken.."
Old Man:  "Well I guess that means we're FUCKED."

Now.. I believe that's what is called an overreaction... so I went out and bought a new router... but then I needed the landlord's login info so I could get hooked up to the internet... that took about 2 days because the guy didn't need to worry about this for years and he had to dig around for the info... so fine... I tell the old man:

Me:  "So the router works, but we can't get on the internet until we have the landlord's login info."
Old Man: "So basically, we're FUCKED."

This time I wanted to tell him to chill out... and stop being a drama queen... and then I thought... is this why he's single?

Lady: "Honey, what do you want for dinner?"
Old Man: "That's it!  I can't fucking take it anymore!  We're fucked. This is over!"

Remember that other old guy he's been inviting over?  Well.... he's been around a lot... and his name is Jim too. How weird is that?  The Old Man is even cooking dinner for him.  It's so freaking weird.  Oddly enough Jim2 lived in this same house a few years ago.  I swear they're scheming something awful.

So... anyway.. that's what's been going on.  I've also been finishing up my paper.  I'm guessing with all the pictures and tables it'll be around 30 pages and it'll tell you everything you need to know about low impact development practices, stormwater runoff, and some other bullshit that I find fascinating so shut up.

I have also decided to try and sneak in an exclamation point... or... mark... ! that thing, into my writing somehow... it was totally in this report I was reading at work and I got such a big kick out of it that I'm going to steal it.

Oh. One of Warhol's Elvis deals sold for a bunch of money... so I'm stealing that too.

And I got a 12 string electric guitar which sounds pretty fantastic.

Work also said I can work more hours and stick around for the summer too.

And I found out that the place a block away from the building serves steak fries and it was on Man vs. Food once.

I've also gotten pretty darn good at Tetris Attack.

and I got new shorts that are short so my tan lines are exposed.

what's worse about it is that only my left leg is getting tanned because the sun shines on it when I drive.

So... pretty good week and weeks to come. I'm currently debating whether or not I should get some whiskey.
