*hugs the internet*

My internet connection went down a couple of days ago. I called tech support and was told to do a bunch of things that didn't work. They told me that they could see my computer attached to the DSL modem via the Ethernet cable but that it wasn't making the connection. In the end they said they'd send a new modem to me, so I should hook it up and see if it works. After several days of no internet at home and finding out that I missed a UPS delivery that was probably the new modem, I couldn't take it anymore. I repaired permissions on my computer, restarted, and tried to connect. The wireless router asked for permission for something or another. I clicked okay, and suddenly I was connected! With my old modem! I felt like the world had opened up to me. Being involuntarily disconnected from the internet is very stressful. ^^;

(Internet at work doesn't count since I feel constrained. I didn't go to LJ, for example.)

I also unpacked more books....I can only say that I own too many books. I really need to get rid of some more. I can donate or sell some of them, but I don't really know what to do with the BL books/manga that I don't want to keep. I know the local used Japanese bookstores tend not to take those, and I can't bring myself to donate them to the library. :P
