ALTER YOUR LIFE with extension cords!!

It's just about 9pm on a gloriously refreshing late July Saturday...the last minutes of daylight in the western sky, cirrus clouds making a wispy, pink glow...northerly winds supplying a September feel. And I'M enjoying this out on my fire escape! I won't bore you with the excruciatingly step-by-step details, but over the past 10 days, i've FINALLY gotten "mobile" with my computer. Yes, it's a laptop (finally), but it's not wireless. One technology hurdle at a time, please. However, I was OBSESSED with MAKING it as mobile as it could possibly be. So, this 50-foot cord ethernet cable i've acquired, along with an obscenely long regular extension cord now allow me to ROAM MY ENTIRE APARTMENT with my computer!!! To compare and contrast how FUCKING GREAT this is, I was tethered to a MAMMOTH desktop PC as recently as mid April, and then had NO internet in the house for a good month until mid May. Again, there's neverending details with all this that would make your eyes glaze over, but Gary got crafty, fed up, and manipulative as he does so well in times of pressure (i'll stop 3rd person-ness now) and now things are GREAT! So great that i'm sitting outside for the first time EVER on a computer. Only a fire escape, mind you, but this could easily become my new office. I envision morning tea and OJ while surfing the net outside my kitchen window. It's SO peaceful...dark now except the glow of the screen. Ahhh. PERFECT for the first agenda-free Saturday i've had since...APRIL!?! That's right, i've had plans of some sort EVERY Saturday for 3 fucking months. I just realized that this morning as I wondered why I felt so "off." FINALLY a free Saturday! And I HAVE enjoyed it so!
