I was feeling pretty ambitious today and tried to configure my computer for wireless roaming, but now I don't have Internet at all and it's driving me nuts -- I even went so far as to ask the Irish guy across the hall with the computer science degree to see if he could fix it, but he spent some time fiddling with all the things I did and gave it up too. I can't believe how dependent I am on connectivity. I barely watch the TV I got, and the only part of the paper besides the front section that I read with any interest is the real estate one; without Internet, I am nothing. You can't be a silent blogger, a non-messenger. An e-mail address is not supposed to be a P.O. Box; it's supposed to have a home.

And all this after things were going so well; I bought CD-Rs, a mop at Kmart, and our apartment is lemony fresh. I even got a free (i.e. unordered) big jar of applesauce with the groceries I had delivered today.

Looks like I'm not the only one that stays in on Saturdays -- I'm downstairs in the res lobby/computer lounge, and the other Vancouver guy is here too. I think that's why I like this place. It's not just that there's all types here, but a big proportion of them are just like me!
