Life with WiFi

or lack of connection really...
the WiFi SAYS I'm connected...and in fact, says that my connection is actually "excellent", but doesn't let me connect to anything on the net. That's quite frustrating on a quiet weekend.

On jollier news, it was the first Moscow snow today!! It was quite nice, I do have to say. And if I wasn't writing this in an internet cafe, I would be able to post the picture that I took of it.
good times, good times.

Random news:
we have a week off after this week of school, so I might just be spontaneously jetting off to Egypt. yeah! I know! crazinesses...
it'll be with something called "hot hours" that my co-worker always travel with...SUPER cheap last minute deals...anyway, it's all good; I'll see what happens. It's not 100% yet, but it looks like I'll be jetting off somewhere....and holy giraffes, if I could cross Egypt off my to-visit-in-life list, how fabulous would that be?!
good times. DEFINITELY good times.

I had a long talk with my jubie boobie yesterday, which was good, cause I was kind of feeling bummed about not knowing anyone of real passion and substance here that I can bum around the city with, eat with, call up at stupid hours of the day, act like an idiot with and deep chat with. I think this weekend was just my first big hurdle, and man, did I call it. A couple of months in. Past the initial high of everything being new. Seriously though, worry not for me if you are...these are just normal stuff. I, in no means, want to go home, or anything.
I LOVE and relish in the freedom that I feel here. It's just, once in a while, I want to feel like I don't know which friend to hang out with in the evening. Here, people cancel SO often..and that leaves me with nothing to do.
anyway, kafuffles! as I only have 5 mins left to my net time

hugs for everyone.

Heya Patey,

Tried hard to understand all of that post, but got stuck at "Jubie Boobie". I dunno what it is, but I can still laugh at the sound of the words, so not all is lost!

(incidentally, "jubie boobie" in google returns only one hit, which is some 16yo guy's myspace...)

Good that you have phone cards under control, I was more giving you that as a price comparison. (Can't remember what I said last time, but it would be 8c + 6.5c/min AUD (with no additional mobile charges on your SIM card - the phone company calls you back after you prank call them to get around that)).

Thirdly, haven't said "hi" yet as a combination of mad-assed assignments, and on the free nights, I have been awake at the right time, but after waiting up until 1am, surprisingly commonly the clock suddenly skips to 3 or 4am, and it's just a bit weird to call people at that time. But I will be successful before too long!

We shall talk soon,

Pete
