dooM.

SINCE WHEN DID STARBUCKS START CHARGING FOR ACCESS TO WIFI?!!

i got disconnected from the internet in the middle of making an online payment, and i couldn't get back on even after several hours of trying. i was so afraid my bank account was gonna be hacked or something! i don't know how rational that was, but i was pretty freaked out. out of desperation i went to the starbucks about 11 blocks away. and AFTER buying a drink i sat down and tried to get on the internet, but i couldn't! so i went up to the counter and the cashier told me that it's $9.99 for a day pass.

at least i got to try the green tea frap that i've been hearing about.

then i remembered the local library a few blocks away, but of course it's closed cos it's the 4th of july, so now i'm sitting outside on a plastic chair. thankfully i could get on, and from what i can tell, my money is safe. and the payment went through.

and since it's the 4th of july, it's a long weekend, and i think the people in charge of the cottage are out of town til monday. how am i gonna survive without the internet til then?! =( no the office, no heroes, no skype, no msn, no facebook, no email... gah.

and i'm almost done with the books i borrowed from the library. hopefully either this one or the stanford library will be open tomorrow. please please please.

i wish i was home for the prefects' reunion. MY YEAR's reunion.

opportunity cost, opportunity cost.
