kjpepperNecessity being the mother of _something_ this morning I set out into the big wide world in search of a wifi hotspot. It lead me to a spot in Park Slope not too far off my usual stomping ground up and down Seventh Avenue called the Tea Lounge. It's very very hard to remember that I'm not sitting in the Mercantile in Northampton - the vibe here is very similar.
Spent a good part of last night playing with Dad's iPhone. I still want one, but totally realize I cant afford one right now unless I won the lottery. Not the phone itself, but the data plan that goes with it is so powerful that I can't even really conceptualize how much THAT costs. But.... aaaagggh, they are SO COOL. Maybe I'll look more closely into an iPod Touch, as it has much the same functionality.
I set Dad up with his first honest to goodness ever email address last night too. Now I can keep up with everyone in my family electronically, finally. That'll be nice... I love Dad, but I hate talking to him on the phone.
I'm not sure how this lack of internet's gonna affect vacation time, as I'm rather fabulously stressed out without it. I don't think I'm going to resort to cutting it short or anything, though the thought crossed my mind. In the meantime, I've found this place, the library will be open tomorrow, and with any luck a little bit of time up at the stronghold. On the other hand, i do find it a little sobering how jacked in my existence has become - maybe having to forcibly to deal with a lack of it will be good for me. I know less computer time will be probably a good thing, as both my wrists, after last week's marathon computing horror, are doing something very alarming. Gods. The last thing I need at this point are wrist problems. >:( Especially while ibuprofen's on the verboten list.
Speaking of which. Got some pills to take. More later.
