lydamorehouseShawn's Christmas present came early. We now have wireless AT HOME. Yes, no more dial-up for me. I have officially entered the 21st century -- though I did read in the paper today that only OLD people (GenX and older) use Facebook and write blogs. I suppose all the kids Twitter or Four Square? I don't even know what the heck that last one is, but at least my alter ego is on Twitter.
This is so cool. I may have to wax poetic about how I am sitting in my own bed upstairs with my toes tucked comfortably under the comforter, a cat taking a bath on the pillows and another one behind my head -- and I am actually talking to you, HERE.
Coolness.
That's kind of the big news. The only other things to report are the fact that I had a little computer scare yesterday when I was out having coffee with Eleanor. My computer briefly decided it couldn't find its own hard drive. It asked me to do a complete diagnostic, which I did, and then it rebooted itself and worked fine. I, of course, had not saved any of my works in progress, and the instant it was better I immediately did so. Yes, yes, I know, I should really back up more often or subscribe to one of those on-line places (which actually makes more sense now that I have wireless at home. Less so with dial-up.) Of course, the really big question is -- will I be able to write now that the shiney of the interwebs is right here on my very own doorstep?
We'll see.
Other big news, Sa bum nim (our head "karate" instructor) says Mason and I are ready to test for our yellow stripe. I know! Already! I've actually been a bit freaked out about it. Am I really really, grasshopper? I don't think so, but, you know, I'm actually perfectly okay with failure. I'm not sure Mason is, though. It will be interesting. I'll keep you informed. Our big test is sometime in early January. I'll be practicing every day until then.
Okay, well... Squirrel!
