My Cox cable internet connection is pherked up again. I sat on hold for half an hour to find out I’m “in the affected area.” And apparently nothing is available to clear it up without a prescription. So I’m using AOL to dial up, which is giving me conniptions too.

I’m really beginning to lose faith in postmodern life. Because since there’s nothing on TV, I have nothing to do but read a book. Typed on paper. We’re spiraling in, people, and I wasn’t paying attention when they pointed to the exits.
