Why am I text only? Our internet got cut off while I was installing Ubuntu on my laptop 
:(
What a shitty day - and it had no right to be as I’d taken the day off (told my boss I had swine flu). Managed to, almost right away get into a big argument with my flatmate who i actually like very much about the fact i’d increased the internet bill some 7 months ago & offered to pay the excess but had never done so. My argument was that they had never told me the bill had come EG, if you have to pay the gas - you dont call the gas company every week asking if the bill is ready to pay, you just wait till they ask you. Same difference.Â
So that put me in a bad mood. I eventually paid them [my live-in landlords] the money and asked them to call up and downgrade the service, when they downgraded - boom, the internet went off and didnt come back. I was on the phone to O2 for about 3 hours and decided i’d better go to the pub instead.
I tried to do my blog in Gimp but its so eratic with the tablet EG a simple feature like ‘nudge’ just does the conga all over the screen.
Funny thing tonight is our local is some sort of semi-trendy pub, I say semi as a handful of very rough types frquent it and bring all the trendies crashing very firmly back to earth. For some reason someone had organised an extremely lo-fi kareoke night and nobody was interested meaning the organiser sung Elvis songs very badly - only to be punctuated by soem of the more ’special’ regulars singing for examlple ‘Ghost town’ and what not. It was very funny indeed.
Hopefully a proper posting tomorrow after I get my virtual machine up and running, sozzy xx

I empathize with you on the painful billing, I just canceled a DSL service contract at an old office location and got a surprise $1000+ bill for the pleasure of no longer doing business with their big evil corporation.
It also reminds me of the cell phone company I used to use that would turn off my phone, instead of billing me, when they wanted extra money during a pay period.
I don’t get it. I am waiting for my pizza, I click the ‘comics’ link on my aggregator and only text. Am I to await my pizza with no comic? Is this the 1st world or what? *sob*
Pay your bills.
Wow. Sven is kinda bitchy for something that he’s getting for free. If it’s that important to him, perhaps he should pay your upgraded internet bill.
I will be your faithful reader. Gives Thanks once more.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Congrats, Betsy! Im pretty bummed I got my Washington crossed off with the horrible experience at Seafair you guys have so many great races. On the other hand, the bad Seafair experience caused me to run one the next weekend and become a Maniac, so I guess everything happens for a reason.
