confession#2 of a certified wi-fi junkie
so we finally arrived in new york last night, at about 8pm. while waiting for conching to come out from being interviewed about her finacee visa, i sat on the baggage carousel checking for a signal. there were two, but neither was good for surfing.
my mother's place has a good connection in one room, so i checked and answered my mail early this morning before we left for connecticut because i was afraid i'd be offline the whole time i'd be here.
but wonder of wonders! got home at around midnight tonight after playing progressive rummy with my aunts and cousin and brother, and when i turned my laptop on---11 Mbps from an unknown source! here, in the middle of nowhere!
really need to be working, though. the silence here is deafening (the house is right beside the thames river), so i had planned on finishing up some articles i owe before going back to busy new york and going on my other trips.
but with ths connection here...uh oh.
PS imagine my glee upon discovering that there was a wi-fi connectikon ON THE PLANE for the whole flight! of course, it was expensive but i was just happy knowing it's possible.
besides, there were so many other cool things to do. for starters, there was this great menu of movies, music, and games. finally got to watch An Inconvenient Truth, which I've been hearing about and can now confirm is a must-see, especially for people living on islands and countries with four seasons.
also watched the documentary Watery Creatures, which is the nerdy sort of thing i tend to do when i have so many choices. i enjoyed it, of course. learned that nudibranchs--or was that flatworms?--are hermaphroditic, with each one of them having 7 vaginas and 2 penises. so an orgy is their most efficient method of reproduction.
ok, i'll say good night now. maybe it's just jet lag.

HUGS,

they taught me =) it's like the family game here. rummy is just like tong-its and mahjong, only it's more "official" because it's poker-based. progressive rummy takes seven rounds to complete with varying combinations of trios and straight flushes. addicting =)
ReplyDeletehehehe! i love wi-fi too! once you go wi-fi, you can never go back :D hahaha, darn if that makes sense! but really, i can't imagine living without my internet connection. i practically forced my brother to get one before i went home from SG :D
ReplyDeletelooks like you're having fun on your trip! post lots of pictures :D cheers!
