Modem… so… slow

My mom can’t get DSL, she’s too far away from the station. It’s a shame, because she would have had it ready for Thanksgiving. Now I’m reduced to about a 40kbps connection. Good enough to IRC and play Simcountry, but that’s about it.

The drive down was a typical Thanksgiving weekend drive down I-5. Of course, it took me almost as long to get from Magic Mountain to home than it did to get to Magic Mountain. Gosh, I love L.A. traffic. Have I ever mentioned that? (never moving back, never moving back)

As tempted as I am, I think we’re avoiding the shopping tomorrow. A surprising amount of the conversation at dinner today was around computers, and how little it costs to upgrade today, especially when dealing with 4 year-old computers.

Why do I have a feeling that this mood is going to be used throughout LiveJournal more than any other today?
