Still No Home Internet

So I just found out that cable internet cost $60 bucks, just for the internet. Internet with basic cable is $89! Sweet jimmny chist. That on top of the fact that the electricity for the area actually comes out of Greenbay WI so somehow we get charged double for electric.

I think I'll opt for snails in a fishbowl for entertainment instead of handy home internet access, thank you very much.

Was I just hit on?

So after knitting I went across the street for a beer and peanuts. But lo! They were out of peanuts. But I still had my beer and spotted this guy smoking a cigarette and I thought well if I can't have peanuts with my beer at least I could have a cigarette. So I ask the guy for one and he gives it to me and a matchbook, I take the cigarette and smoke, drink my beer and read a book. His friends come and they talk and we happily ignore one another. Then after I got my second drink and I'm sitting at this bar which faces the window two things land in front of me on the table top in between me and my book: a cigarette and a book of matches. I look around confused and the guy looks at me and his friends, I think, are also confused at his behavior, to which he said: I thought you'd like another one. So I said thank you, smoked the second cigarette and gave him back his matches. The only other thing he said to me was as I left he wished me a good night.

The only other time I'd felt like I'd been flung back to jr. high was that time Chemska, La Roux and I got caught watching my room mate's porn. Seriously, throwing stuff at women at bars? What is that?

You don't even know.

My term in Soviet prison camp is over. Surely I would have perished there, frozen to the dunes, a jagged shiv desperately clutched in my cold, dead hand; my last attempt to keep the surviving prisoners from stealing what small treasures I had managed to keep from home. On Monday I start my shiny new job, supporting the red pride of corporate Target. As an email coordinator. You heard me. I get paid $14 an hour to read and respond to email, corporately. I am Strong Bad.
