I haven’t had an internet connection at my home computer for over a month and a half. First it was my video card, then my power supply, then it was 3 weeks in Europe, then it was procrastinating the power supply repair, then it was having my internet payment overdue (fear of opening mail).

Finally today is the first time I’ve had internet at home! Which is why all my posts have been inbetween 8pm-7am EST, when I’m at work.

This just a quick hooray. I must now do something on my computer I couldn’t have done at work. Hint: My girlfriend has been away in Amsterdam for 3 months. Need I say more?
