Things I Will No Longer Be Able To Do, Starting Tomorrow, Due to a Lack of Internet Access (in order of how likely I was to do them anyway)

1. Obsessively check Gmail, Facebook, and Myspace
2. Google my every thought
3. Gchat my Mondays and Wednesdays away
4. Videochat with my lover Cindy
5. Watch episodes of 30 Rock, The Office, and Brothers & Sisters. Oh, and Lie to Me.
6. Instantly request books and movies from the library as soon as they are mentioned in gchat conversation
7. Impulsively buy CDs late at night
8. Plan bus trips
9. Look at The Stranger website to see if there is anything going on worth making a bus trip for
10. Do crossword puzzles on NYTimes.com
11. Search for a new place to live
12. Search for MFA grad programs in creative nonfiction
13. Update my blog

I hope the next list is "Things I Now Have Taken an Avid Interest in Since the Google Empire No Longer Rules My Life (which makes me very sad of course)"

I am out of the loop. Why do you no longer have Internet access?

yes I know my login is strange. that's my weird work proxy gmail account. Don't ask, but you can check out my work's website if you are bored and have Internet time suddenly available.

There are all sorts of things on this list that show how badly we need to catch up. Good luck getting your internet back!
