First Off…

…the internet at my parents house is absurdly slow…and really jumpy. Sometimes it will load three pages at a pace worth calling “DSL” and sometimes it will make me sit idly for a good five minutes before doing anything at all. And don’t even attempt to access a streaming video. I tried watching S12E2 of Top Gear last night and went to bed wanting that 45 minutes of hell erased from my mind.

It was -3º here last night. That’s three full degrees below fucking ludicrous. It was supposed to be around 24º as a low in Chestertown…a temperature that may have never even been reached in the middle of yesterday at home. Why do people live here?

I don’t have anything to do today. I suspect it’s too cold still to even wash my car. Maybe it’s a good day for reading in the bath well into the afternoon?
