- A blogger without Internet access is a truck driver equipped with a mule.
- I drove to a yuppie coffee shop (i.e. enemy territory) specifically for WiFi only to discover that their WiFi was down and the coffee I make in my kitchen is better than the sputum of Satan which they somehow manage to foist on their customers. (In all fairness the bar is set pretty high. I don’t cook much of anything but I make rockin’ coffee.) When I asked the drone at the counter if their WiFi was malfunctioning she fixed me with a stare akin to when I explain physics to a Labrador Retriever. Further when I said, “I don’t mind the ‘net is down because I came here specifically to enjoy this putrid $4 coffee” she did not recognize it as sarcasm. (I can only assume putrid is a word she had never heard? Actually I’d feel better if I knew she was stoned. If you’re stupid while stoned there’s always the possibility you’ll brighten up after a good night’s sleep.)
- I’m convinced the reason for #2 is that hipster ironic glasses that people wear to express their individualism by pretending they’re Elvis Costello cause brain cancer.
- It has been snowing two out of the last two days. Which is 100% more than it should be snowing.
- I have no idea when this will be posted. Luckily it’s a blog and not a nuclear reactor. I can ignore it for a while. Carry on without me!

Well your post made it out .. sorry that you had to suffer bad coffee. There is not much worse than bad coffee.
This is why I don’t go to coffee shops. I like my coffee better than Starcrap (their water is too hot) and the internet at home is free because I set up my neighbor’s wireless network. Plus, he doesn’t drink coffee. And our only stoner neighbor is Microsoft-certified. No reason to leave home.
Regarding number five: A buddy who IS a nuke plant operator makes me think some of them are ignored… Luckily, the prevailing winds are in my favor.
“…the internet at home is free because I set up my neighbor’s wireless network.”
Cannot. Stop. Laughing.
One of the other neighbors hasn’t even changed his router’s factory-default username & password. Don’t ask how I know. It’s a good thing I’m not malicious. And I’ve been making my coffe from free Starbunk grounds that I was given. My coffee still tastes better than theirs. Sometimes life doesn’t suck completely.
