Yearly Vacation Break 2006
This post has been a long time coming…
I had two persons (count them, two!) ask me whether I was going to keep writing for the web page or not. This kind of interest brings a tear to my eye. I wouldn’t go so far as saying that I’m writing again as a logical response to public demand or anything, but hey, here I am. Truth is, I never planned on abandoning the web page for such an extended period of time, but as many as six circumstances conspired to keep me from writing:
a) I moved,
b) Lost my DSL,
c) Couldn’t write at work due to summer time 6-hour work shift,
d) Couldn’t write at home due to no DSl,
e) Couldn’t write at work after summer due to pre-vac crunch time.
f) Look ma, still no DSL!
I did the sensible thing and told my provider that it could go fornicate itself, but deep inside I know that they still might deliver on their promises. I just hung up with them, and even though I’m already signed up with another provider, they still vow that I’ll be up and running in two days. If it wasn’t the 20th time (and I’m not exaggerating) I’ve heard them say the exact same thing, I’d be inclined to believe them. As it stands, I’m a bit incredulous. Not to mention, fucking angry. Summer, the one time I get to raid with my WoW guild, and I get locked right out of the game. I even thought about going to the office on saturdays for my fix, but there’s somewhat of an inherently illicit feeling associated with gaming at the office. Besides, I keep saying I’m not addicted, so hey, a chance to prove it arose and I clung to it, and came out only slightly embarassed. My guild kicked me out after 2 months of inactivity, but I stopped playing for almost two months and didn’t get the shakes. I’m proud of myself, for what it counts.

Well…being I one of the two, it only makes sense that I be one of the first to write (assuming everyone else is still alive and will eventually read and write).
That having been said, I recomment you take a big long ethernet cable, with an extra big boot on the end, tie knots into the cable every two inches, and shove it up your provider’s ass. F ‘em.
Also, you may have made it through the summer but buddy your really fell off the wagon during your vacation. My house SMELLS of WoW.
Although we have talked about it before, it is worth repeating. For some reason being at the office during the weekend (or my favorite, until 4am), has an implicit feeling of crime to it. I always feel a little guilty. Like I am doing something wrong. Even when I am there doing legitimate work. I demand a psychological review of this mind fuck.
In any case, that was a good vacation. Flicks, Roll Bounce, Purple Rain, Wedding Crashers and the 40 y/o virgin more times that I can count, hot chicks, pizza and coke for days, the never ending “you know how I know you are gay” battle, the Miller Light commercials, AND THE BEST GOD DAMN GRANOLA BARS IN THE WORLD! WOOOHOOOO!!
Nice to know you made it back alive. Stay that way.
You know how I know you’re gay? Two ppl asking if you will write anymore brings a tear to your eye.
POW!

I hate being the last one, but what the heck, I’m used to it. Glad to know you’re alive n’ kicking. Don’t got much to tell but that I’m back in the same school I during spring, to learn more Danish, ’till December 20th. Then I plan on going to Madrid for X-mas and New Year’s. Hope you are there.

Just so you know, guys, there’s this thing called newsreader / RSS aggregator that’ll help you jump in one leg out of happiness, barely one minute after alvarete’s written something new.
(I don’t have alvarete on my RSS reading list, tho, so keep me posted ;-) )
