The internet here in New Braunfels is quite a perplexing thing. I don't mean to wave my "let's move back to Austin!" flag (again), but come on, people! This is 2008! All I ask for is consistent wireless performance! Really, is that so much to ask?
I'm just minding my own business, perusing my daily blog stops, pondering a fudgy brownie recipe (that happens to be vegan, whaaat?) at tastespotting.com, when BAM! our internet is DOWN! i feel like someone ripped out the last page of a stephen king thriller as i wait patiently (at first) to learn the secret of these so-called vegan brownies. First i simply sit and stare at the blinking exclamation point in the bottom right-hand corner of my page, humming a tune...everything is fine, fine. After a minute, I even stand up, stretch my legs, even get a beverage. Then I get brave and try the refresh key. My downfall. Angry Microsoft Windows pop-ups scream at me. And the process begins once more.
SO! Frustrating!
Was it oil? Applesauce? Vegan fudgey brownies, this is all i'm asking for!!! Gods of the Patterson household wireless network, why do you tease me in this cruel, cruel way?
Perhaps this is a warning that I am spending too much of my precious time on the internet. The moments I will be alive are being ticked off as I watch reality through pixelated glasses. I'll admit, it is a slight addiction. The internet, along with almond butter, is my drug of choice: if I go more than 5 hours without checking my email, I get the slightest...SLIGHTEST bit antsy. I have to check my daily blogs, but don't we all? Really, I'm just a modern girl.
