the modem is still being extremely uncooperative. i'm now waiting for a nice helpful email from the manufacturer, which should get to me in the next 24 hours. dear lord i miss being able to surf the net at night. i probably could just solve all this crap by getting a new computer, or maybe even just a new modem, but there's a part of me that likes trying to get broken shit (especially broken computer shit) to work. plus new computer doesn't fit in the grand scheme of things at the moment so i gotta try and work with what i've got and maybe shake what my mama gave me, too. long story short is my puter's a little out of commission at the moment but will be fixed soon. bear with me or i'll kick your ass.

i forgot to tell you that while i was home i taught michelle how to purl, which is neato cuz i didn't think i'd be able to help her figure it out, what with her being left-handed and me being a supercool karaoke star and all that. but yeah. a couple minutes later she was purlin like a... um... vurlin..., and we enjoyed ourselves a nice couple episodes of the people's court.

this just in from the desk of jenn: "you're not cool unless you poop. so you better get poopin' with me."

wiser words were never spoken.
