the_deep_magic: A nightmare inexplicably torn from the pages of Kafka! (Like a square wheel)

Rhythmic gymnastics, though: that is where the real action's at.

This is it -- I move tomorrow.  (Well, technically later today, but let's not quibble.)  And my life looks even more pathetic reduced to a collection of boxes.

Due to my dithering on whether or not to get cable -- I ultimately decided against it -- I won't have internet in the new place until the end of next week if I'm lucky, the beginning of the week after that if I'm not.  But of course there's my phone and public places with free wifi and the ever-present hope that the person in the next apartment over has unsecured wireless, so I will survive.  And watch a lot of DVDs.  And hopefully actually write something once the captivating yet ill-timed Olympics are over.  And maybe sleep?  That could happen.

Not impressed by handball, though.  The version I played as a kid with my neighbor using a tennis ball and the garage door was more action-packed.

(late-night blogging, yiiih)

i thought they'd cut out that ribbon-dancing stuff. well, at least my mom'd said so. apparently not.

HAHAHA, handballll. we called it 'wall ball'. bit like the terms soccer and football, i guess (except for one set both make sense).

see you on the flip side... of... not having wifi. reading is always good as well, if you have a backlog of stuff you've been wanting to get at. :)

Yeah, come to think of it, we probably called it "wall ball" too. I just heard "handball" and that was the first thing I thought of.

AND I DO NEED TO GET ON THE READING, even though I now have wi-fi. And the writing. And the... everything.

Hope your move goes smoothly! :)

Handball just might be the lamest Olympic sport.

I wouldn't say "smoothly," as a bunch of stuff got lost or damaged, but about as smoothly as moves ever go.

And ping pong was pretty lame, too. Maybe it was just the matches I watched, but I kept waiting for them to get into those crazy back-and-forth volleys, but it was all dull little dinks into the net. Snoooooooze.

I was just considering getting cable again. I miss Discovery Channel. :)

Actually, that's what I think I'm going to miss most of all, especially because I managed to time it so I'll JUST miss Shark Week. (The real one; not the one where everyone in fandom is on their collective period.) As far as I know, you can't get their content for free (legally) online. But I WILL find a way to get my Mythbusters...
