Vacation (all I ever wanted)
« on: May 13, 2004, 10:52:34 pm »
Hey kids,

I'm going offline for a week starting Monday.  I'm taking a much needed vacation from computers.  No, I'm not actually going anywhere, just sending in my laptop for service and after ten minutes of using the old computer have decided that it's time for a break.

I've been online every day for the past two years, for several hours a day at least, so it seems like time to kick back, do some writing, catch up on reading, go out into the world and DO things, visit the art museum, etc.

I'm a little nervous about not responding to e-mail for a week, but I'll put up a notice on my web site.

I have someone looking after the server, and hopefully the mods here can be trusted not to trash the place.

NO PARTIES WHILE I'M AWAY

Well. I'm all partied out anyway. One party a quarter is about the most I can muster, and that's already been.

Anyway, odd that it comes as I have been considering doing the same. I wouldn't be able to without being elsewhere however. So I am trying to find somewhere I wouldn't mind being without a computer...

Rambling...


Anyway, have a good week Cap'n. May it be fruitful and more than a little relaxing!

Enjoy yourself, Jough.

If you don't read this until after the vacation, well, hope you enjoyed yourself.

It is Thursday night and I've just come home from a beach-wine-candy-firecrackers-adventure.  I believe that I, as well, am all partied out.  Enjoy yourself, Jough.

I will be "leaving" Sunday night.

And I'll be spending as much time as possible out of the house - it's like a vacation in my own city - I may even do tourist-y stuff.

Ha, Saturday night at 11 I'm gonna be rocking out with Patti Smith, Paul Westerberg and Sonic Youth. However, Jough, have a kickass internet vacation.

Shit dude, Sat. at 11, I'll be gearing up to watch the Olsen twins - rowr - on SNL. I'll find out if they're actually worth that "rowr" then.

Shit, they're still jailbait for another like six months. Maybe I shouldn't post this.

A vacation from being online.  This sounds to me as appealing as a vacation from air or water.  Maybe I have a problem?  I do also get out into the world, honestly, although it's true that none of it is real until I send someone email about it.

I hope we can expect a full report.

You think you have problems? I used to participate in Star Trek trivia contests to win more hours online. I played every single game Hecklers Online could come up with to try and win free hours. I was a Random Gamer dammit! You can't out-problem a Random Gamer.

My computer has been having random problems all day, and the thought of a week without the Internet saddened me deeply. Nonetheless, I hope all is fab for our Fearless Leader.

Saturday @ 11 pm I'll be at work. Hell, I'm off-line for long stretches all the time. I kind of like it.
