Hey, I'm in my new home...and leeching of the neighbour's WiFi!
Mmmmm...free internet...

And howdy, y'all, from the (almost) most southern tip of Canada.

I'm beat, sore, and I can't find my glasses.

I moved a kingsize mattress by myself across a busy street during the wildest windstorm Victoria has seen in 15 years.

I lost the box with my USB hub and my iPod dock in it--I think it was stolen from the hood of my truck between the time I left it, went to the condo, and came back (about 30 seconds).

My (empty) deck box was blown from the roofdeck during thw windstorm, and luckily missed a parked car by a few feet--I found it, smashed, this morning.

I broke two lamps and a bookself.

But I don't give a damn...I'm home, all my stuff is in one location for the first time since my separation, and this place is NOT considered a family asset, so my soon-to-be-ex can't make a claim to it.

And my realtor gave me a basket with Pirouline and wine in it.

So everyone can kiss my butt!

Housewarming on Sunday...drop by!

okay, going to bed now...haven't slept more than a couple of hours since monday morning.

3. heehee the war chalkers and drivers over here
do the same thing. Some big companies haven't secured their networks so naughty geeks sit outside with laptops.

Have a good break from it all.

regards

6. Cool! I can pick up the neighbor's WiFi, too, and I bet he can
pick up mine, too. At my mom's the neighbor's signal is so weak you can only download email, not surf the net.


What's Pirouline?
