Title: Surviving without the Internet for more than 24 hours
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 25, 2008, 10:04:37 AM: Is it possible? Is it even humane? These are the questions that will be asked and not answered 'till a brave service technician from Comcast fixes my high-speed Internet sometime tomorrow between 2 PM and 5 PM.

So far, life without Internet has been awful. A horrible existence that I can only imagine is similar to the tortuous ordeal John McCain has gone through the last half century.

I IM'd EricP that I would brave the sunlight and make for the town market that the kids call "the mall". Its been months since I've been to one and even longer for personal purchases. Its a cesspool of Twilight-loving tweens and desperate housewives.

I will keep a record of my travels.

Pray for my soul, evilbore.

Willco out.

A couple months ago I canceled the landline and DSL to go with a cable modem cause it would save me monies. The problem? There was like 3 or 4 days in between the cancellation and the installation! I was fine for a day or two, but midway through the second day I went to the library to fuck around for an hour or two on the 'tubes. Couldn't help myself. Fortunately it was a very clean, modern library with no urban outdoorsmen.

Post by: Solo on November 25, 2008, 10:45:29 AM: Its actually quite liberating, Federman! I moved back east a few months ago, and I had a period of 3 weeks where all my shit (computer included) had been shipped east while I remained out west. After a day or two I found I stopped really caring.

Post by: Positive Touch on November 25, 2008, 06:11:36 AM: It's boring as fuck. Sometimes I just want to dick around at home but without the internet I realize how little there is for me to do. Even worse is when I need to look up something - I'll have to call someone else and have them do it for me :(

I may have cried a bit.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 27, 2008, 08:50:45 AM: Comcast tech came at EXACTLY 2 PM (he was scheduled from 2 - 5 PM) and I arrived home 2:10 PM. No way to get another tech out 'till next week.

As a result, I had the craziest night ever, which I'll write in detail when my laptop connects to the Interwebs.

Also, to pass the time Tuesday, I rented awful comedies off Comcast HD. We're talking Zohan, folks.
