bad news and good news

[kindkit]

The bad news: "my" internet connection still hasn't come back, and at this point I must doubt that it ever will. So for the foreseeable, I'll only be online 2 or 3 times a week (once a week from Starbucks, one or twice a week from the public library, which is free but also a lot more limited in what I can do and how long I can spend doing it).

This is inconvenient, but I'll still be around enough to read fic and talk a bit, if in a slow and time-delayed manner.

Good news: Today I had the delightful and extremely rare experience of checking my bank account and discovering that there was more money in it than I thought there was. Still not a whole lot of money, but enough to pay the bills etc., which is good.

if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is wrong with your internet? (forgive me if you've talked about this before: Pesach messed with my equilibrium.) at this techie household we have a lot of older spare parts so it's possible we might have a thing you need if the problem is specific enough.

if this is a bad thing, delete this and no harm no foul.

i haven't forgotten what I promised, but I had 3 DVDs left and all of them screwed up. I'll have to get a new one or a cheap USB, so it may take a couple more days. Just FYI!

And argh!!! on everything else.

Well, not argh on xtra money, obviously :) <3

I could send you a USB if you haven't yet gotten discs. That might even be better since I wouldn't have to rely on my computer's disc reader.

Oh, I just bought a USB. I sent it off Thursday, I think? Wednesday? It's been a really bad week with car trouble and tropical storms raining into my living room, so I've lost track... But it should be there by Monday, I hope (I'd thought it'd be there today, but apparently not :( }

I checked my mail today and it was there! It could have been there for a while, because I don't check my mail every day. Thank you so much! I'm excited to watch S3.

Oh, cool!

Enjoy!!! I mainlined it in a few days, and it was glorious!

Hope all the files work and everything...

Yay money! Boo access! I hope a new and friendly neighbour makes their way to your apartments very soon.
