So There it is!

Well, recently I've had a lot more time away than originally planned.

Back on the 4th of July, I left for vacation to Anthrocon. You all probably know that bit from the Community Post of the time. A vacation that was supposed to last until the 8th.

Well, driving up on the 4th took a lot longer than it should have. Since my car started overheating, the 4.5 hour drive ended up at 17 hours. Not a fun time. Got to my hotel around 1 AM on the 5th, and finally got registered at about 10:30 AM on Friday. Well, I was expecting some kind of internet there, but the only equivalency was a 56k speed connection. On a custom-built OS that crashed anytime I tried to open Photobucket, which became a big issue for many of the artists there who had limited personal access. Some of us had to pay for momentary access at the Westin's Office Section... but I wasn't about to pay $17 for an hour I would only use a small portion of.

So, no internet access then. Well, when it came time to go, knowing that I had a broken car, we set out Sunday night, getting home Monday Morning at about 7:45 AM. I didn't sleep much that day, and knew I'd have to work on Tuesday, so I stayed up, and spent most of my time on here. Fortunately, I like you ponies.

I got to read news including the leaving of a staff, and a rejuvenation thread that had a lot of arguing going on in it. Anyway, sometime between then and Wednesday, my computer stopped wanting to boot. Well, that wasn't exactly a good thing, as I'm sure you can imagine. So I had borrowed my friend's computer for a few things, but for some reason couldn't get to here from it.

Anyway, it ended up booting up properly this morning, and... ta-dah! The internet wasn't working! Well, I knew it wasn't last night, but this morning I had to handle it. Get a new router? Fine... whatever.

So, things have been happening... crazy things. Other than that, I'm here now. Aside from the fact that while writing this very blog, my mother called and asked for my assistance in helping her friend to move out of her house.

So off I go again, to help out my old mother. What fun, what fun...
