Of bloody ISPs and fun graffiti

I don't ♥ my Internet Service Provider anymore. Their service used to be excellent, but lately they've been screwing up a lot. I didn't have a connection most of last night and today. Me going through Internet withdrawal symptoms is NOT a pretty sight. Last night was especially terrible...I was all set to bloglurk, only to find that dreaded "Page cannot be found" message every time I opened my browser. I decided to sit back and hope against hope for everything to be okay again.

While waiting, I turned on some music and did the getting-to-know you thing with a new friend. At first I was listening to songs from Miss Saigon, but decided I was depressed enough already and that I didn't need to hear songs about a doomed love affair and the heroine's sacrifice. So I switched to something more upbeat, if you can call Nirvana and some dirty rap songs upbeat, haha (and I don't even like rap music all that much).

After an hour and still no Internet, I decided to call it a night. Besides, I was starting to get sloshed--and if my connection did by any chance start to work again, I didn't want to be accused of BUI (blogging under the influence). So I curled up in bed, intending to read a little, but was out like a light in about ten nanoseconds.

All seems well at present. I did a bit of blogsurfing earlier in the day (before I lost my connection...again!) and now I can finally put up the wall I did for Frank Sirianni's Foxxfyrre's Black and White Art Blog.

It ain't fine art, but what the heck. It was a fun thing to do. By the way, that thing that looks like a malformed H near my name, isn't. It's supposed to be the sign for Pisces. I originally wanted to do an image of two fishes in a numerically risqué position, but try as I might, I couldn't.

Try doing it; you can download blank walls from Frank's site. Then e-mail him your graffiti wall when you're done. It's that easy. Some blogger buddies have done it already: Rhys, Gale, Julie.

And now, I'm off to get some work and blogsurfing done.
