So Sad To Say Goodbye

Hey everyone.

So, this weekend, I was without internet. To some hippy-dippy types, this would be a weekend dream-come-true.

I'm nervous about the internet. I've been borrowing the "Lakay" wireless connection for nearly a year now and it just disappeared this weekend. All of the other neighborhood connections are password protected. Its my recollection that the Lakay connection has disappeared for a long holiday weekend previously, but its always come back. This time, I'm nervous. Its Tuesday morning and there's no sign of it.

That said, I got even less done than I would on a typical weekend. I did cook a lot of muffins. And I did my best to remove my crappy first iron-on number attempt from my softball shirt. And I watched most of the first season of the Ashes To Ashes television program. And a bunch of Jennifer Connelly movies, unwittingly. But I didn't record any songs. And I didn't go to the swimming pool.

In other news, my across-the-street neighbors Sarah and Roddy moved to Washington DC this weekend. I never saw their apartment and they never saw mine. Roddy and I were roommates for a few months even a long time ago. There was always talk of casserole parties but I never took the initiative and now I'm immediately regretting it. I could really go for a casserole. I now know no one on my block except for the the two white dogs that I say hi to a lot and the man that I refused to hold the garage door for that one time. That man is either Leviness, Tolzman or Hamilton. For the longest time, I was happy that I didn't hold the door for him, but now, I'm feeling extra-sensitive and I hope its not too late to mend a possible very nice neighborhood friendship. After a while, you get sick of all your friends being just lowly law students. I just want to be buddies with the real deal!

What's worst is that I now have this sick feeling in my stomach that Sarah and Roddy were probably the proprietors of "Lakay."

So, Verizon and Comcast aside, what sort of high speed connection have all of you signed up for?
