Upgrade!

I have ditched the dial-up!
Dave has upgraded my internet!

However, my computer has outlived four hamsters--basically it's older than dirt in computer years--so it won't connect to the fancy high-speed internet boxes that have made a home in the corner of my dining room (see below). I somehow survived Thanksgiving break without internet (though I was overjoyed to check my email Monday morning at work! And renew my library book. And pay my credit card bill. Oh, and pick out Save the Date magnets for the wedding...)

I made a valiant attempt to make my home internet accessible--I purchased an ethernet card and installed it on my computer all by myself! But for some reason, I still can't do anything online, even though the computer registers that there is a connection...


In a fit of internet-deprivation induced insanity, I located the ethernet card for my super-ancient college laptop (Windows 98, baby!), but it won't talk to the internet, either...

Yes, it looks a bit photoshopped...


But the hamster looks like Garfield's predecesor, Arby!

Hammie News

My foster-hamster, Trevor, died this past summer of old age.

My fuzzy punk, Garfield, joined him in the hamster burial plot in the backyard the weekend before Thanksgiving. He was one of the youngest hamsters I've lost--he would have been two in March.

I will try to find pictures to upload when I get a computer at home that connects to the internet...

It's essentially Friday since I don't have to work the rest of the week!

My Zamboni Obsession

Yesterday was Dave's hockey buddy's birthday, so how could I turn down a weeknight Thrashers game to celebrate?

While the boys went to order new beverages, I snapped a few pictures, including the one below. See the Zamboni jersey? I want one of those to wear to hockey games so I can cheer between periods when the zamboni(s) come out...


The guy Mr. Zamboni Jersey is talking to is the organist. He's pretty cool, too! And we had a pretty good view of him and his keyboards.

Friday Funny

I wonder if these squirrels are related to the NGCSU bunch...
