Spring Break

This week is spring break round 2. I'm flying out at 5:20 Tuesday to visit my girlfriend in Virginia, and I'll be back Sunday at about 4-5:30. Enjoy your time alone. =P

I'll try and still update, but I don't know how likely that is to happen, you know? We'll see how I do.

My sonnet crown is eating my mind. I'm being enveloped in this sticky substance, closing around me like a honeycomb made of yesterday's toast until I
can't
breathe

Ok, maybe not that bad. But still. Gaaggh. I wrote like 2 sonnets today and 2 other poems, and my brain is fried. So I'm going to shoot people in Halo. ::thumbs up::

Had Thistle today, and it was a short meeting, so I hung around talking to two people, Neil and Katie, for about an hour, which made me super late to office hours...but nobody was there when I got there, so... we'll see if I get any angry e-mails. Still, I got digits from the both of them, so... friends? :)

In dire news, my free internet disappeared, so I'm at a crossroads as to what to do. I can come to Mac and coffee shops whenever I need internet, which is going to be a problem if my computer is actually dying, or I can buy it. I really don't want to pay for internet. I shouldn't have to. St. Paul should have city-wide 802.11n. That's what I think.

  1. Dude... city-wide 802.11n would be kick-ass. Like, royally awesome. Although, presumably they'd still charge for access?

    That said, there's an ideological argument to be held about whether or not information should always be free. It would follow that if information should always be free that access to that information should also be free.

  2. MPLS has g and it's in your property taxes. Which means if you rent it's in somebody else's :)

  3. This isn't Europe, man, or Minneapolis. You don't pay for Internet, you don't get it. It's called the "digital divide". Doing anything else would be socialist (the horror).

  5. @colin: "I'll try and still update, but I don't know how likely that is to happen, you know?"<- yes, yes, i do. :P am exceedingly happy you talked to katie and neil. say hi to them for me. (you can say hi to you, too. that's ok. )

    @vinny: yes, you do pay. even when it's only the 1.19 pounds to be at mcdonalds.

  6. You also still pay for internet in Minneapolis. While the city is wireless, being able to access that wireless costs about $20 a month. It's cheaper than Comcast, but still not free :(
