Absence of the digital world

I am quite surprised at how dependant I am on my pc.

My computer crashed at the beginning of November. To this day I still have not received my computer back from the people I sent it too to be fixed.

At first I was really really bored. Not really knowing what to do or having anything to do. As the days went by I started to experience withdrawal. Things like, not being able to sit still or short temper. At this point I am feeling really agitated. But I’m not sure if it’s because of not having a computer or if it’s because it’s been almost a month and the guys I sent it to ,to be fixed , still haven’t fixed it.

As the days went by I also started finding things to do, like reading a book or drawing manga or practicing Tai Chi. I do have a Nintendo DS Lite but it is a poor substitute to a computer. Don’t get me wrong I really enjoy playing my DS but sometimes I just need to watch some anime or play a game thats not on a 3 inch monitor.

ADSL

Man, are there a lot of choices for ADSL or what? I wanted to get ADSL for my house, thinking that all I would have to do is choose what cap I would like and that would be that. But no. Nothing in life is quite that simple. Maybe it’s just me.

After figuring out everything I finally ordered my ADSL. A week later I get a call from Telkom saying that I could now install my router and connect to the internet. So I installed everything and what do you know? It doesn’t work. So after calling them several times and waiting for about an hour they finally tell me that there must be a problem with the exchange and will take 3 working days to fix.

The Fridge

So after months of begging my office finally got a small bar fridge. It was a little bigger than we expected but we weren’t complaining.

As you can see from the images, we are putting the fridge to good use. I mean where else would we put all that crap thats on top of the fridge.

Next stop, Microwave.

I’m also hoping to eventually wear them down enough to get a pool table.
