The elements: wind and fire
Posted November 29, 2005 at 02:01 am


1. Wind

Does anybody else have a DSL connection that only works on clear, cloudless, windless medium-temperature days?
No? Well, I do!!


And although the temperature outside is a bizzarre and pleasant 60-something degrees at 3:30 in the morning, it's also been raining nonstop since yesterday, and the wind is so strong it's catching our windchimes (which, for one reason or another, don't chime unless there's a tornado).


So I've been getting (and continue to get) the "Local Area Connection: A network cable is unplugged" message on my toolbar with the seizure-inducing pattern of a strobe light.
It's driving me batty and I've finally just decided to give up.
I'm doing today's strip later this afternoon, when I get run out to the store and buy a new router to see if that's the problem first.


2. Fire


In other news, I spent about half an hour this afternoon littering my apartment with small Post-It notes.






The reason? My roommate Kris turned 2-- yesterday (never reveal a lady's age!) and his birthday gift to himself was to quit smoking.
So I played Quitter's Little Helper and spread little messages of joy reminding him that quitting will land him a better job, keep his lungs happy, and increase his "potential girlfriend" pool by 100%.


Forgive the browser-resized photo; I hate doing that, but I really don't feel like saving (and then trying to upload) a separate thumbnail for this.
Enjoy! (And Mom, beware - a lot of the messages could use a little soap to wash their mouths out with!)


P.S. To my smokin' readers: no offense meant by the nasty messages on these notes.
A good deal of my friends smoke. I just happen to care about you f*ers, and I'd like you to stick around a little longer. :)

I also love the podcast My Brother My Brother And Me!

My old pal R. Stevens and I used to do a podcast called Coffee and Cider! It was mostly about being work-obsessed idiots and human beings who like beverages and have cats.
