Withdrawls

I have been without the internet for some 36 hours. I didn't get to post my daily update yesterday. I didn't get to read my e-mail. I didn't get to continuing taking advantage of my brother-in-law's fast connection by downloading every freaking file available on the internet. I didn't get to visit any sites. I didn't get to lose myself in surfing went the intensity of the house got too much. I suppressed repeated panic attacks at the thought of being without the internet. Basically I was a druggy without drugs for a day and a half. I sucked on so many levels.

The DSL modem went down sometime yesterday. I was on the phone with the tech people for several hours today getting it fixed. Apparently nothing was done wrong, but it just happens sometimes. Whatever. The modem could recognize any ip address, but could recognize any websites. That's useful. The second tech was finally able to provide a fix.

Of course, at the point I got the internet running there were group plans so I bidded my time until I could spend some quality time with the internet. Aaaaah. There's nothing like plunging into the juicy folds of the internet after a long abstinence.
