This is BLISS. For the first time in the year I have owned this laptop, I have gotten it to successfully connect to the internet from my parents' house. I can use *up to date browsers*. I can use my usual AIM icons. I can use my own bookmarks. If it weren't rather late-ish at night (my parents went to bed over two hours ago) I would be noisy in my bliss. Instead, I'm merely annoying to people I know online.
Oh, this is so wonderful. I can go sit down by the fireplace and have internet access. I am no longer bound to this stupid plywood computer desk and the lumbering old iMac.
I get excited over stupid things.
Are there riots in other cities? Well, not riots, but protests? There are still protesters sitting in the middle of 2nd and Burnside. They're a dedicated sit-in, while a lot of the less determined folks were chased off earlier by police and 'flashbangs'.
I need to study. Life goes on, contrary to what you might think and I still have a final tomorrow.
