Back

This was a triumph, blah blah blah, Still Alive, yada yada music. I'll tell you what wasn't still alive: my Internet connection. Oh sure, I could use my phone's network, but you can't post journals on the mobile version. (what's that? App version? I don't know what you're saying but I got a journal to finish). Internet went out in August, just got back yesterday. Would've been Wednesday, except apparently we'd been without it so long they dropped us! Well, the automated voice mail thingy didn't recognize our account number, so we had to get a person. That was annoying.

And for a brief time, my power went out. Probably spent more on gas that week to run the generator than we do in three months for the car. Mostly because my grandmother needs the power for her breathing machine, and we can't sleep without the fans on because the lack of fans, air conditioning, and open windows (we have potential escapee kittens) turns the home interior into an oven. So that was...fun.

But yay! Power's back. Internet's back. Everything's gonna be okay forever!

...what else was I gonna talk about? Oh. Right. Remember back in July I mentioned I'd read the My Little Pony part of the Infinite Loops fanfic series? ...well that kinda opened the gateway and now I've added pony fics to my reading list. I'm still not gonna watch the show, but now it's less avoiding it on principle and more not wanting to mess up how I hear everyone's voices in my head (and wanting to avoid the cringeworthy episodes and broken morals-of-the-day I've heard about (Mare-Do-Well? Ugh!)). Seriously, is it weird to like the fanfics but not the show the fanfics are based on?


So, given that my Internet was down for over a month, my power was briefly out, and I found a new form of distractions to read, on top of all my existing issues, guess how much progress I made. I just reread my journals through the last year and wow have I been unproductive. What happened to my drive? Seriously, when did I become that guy?
