Owing to the ridiculous ridiculousness of my internet connection ‘speed’ this evening, I hereby declare Valentine’s OVER.
It has taken me three hours and twenty minutes to comment and reply, and I still haven’t finished yet. It’s white pages galore around these parts this evening – my ‘speed’ wasn’t this slow when I was on the old dial-up system, you’d at least expect the superfast broadband to actually live up to it’s name every day, as opposed to when it feels like. Sigh.
I mean to say… I even tried using one of those sites that tests the broadband speed, and it took at least twenty minutes to get onto the site. Then (it uses a display like a car speedometer) the pointer hardly moved. I didn’t really need a graphic to tell me that my connection speed is slow. Don’t know why I bothered with that site in the first place. Mutter. Grumble. Gripe.
Maybe the internet provider thinks I’m out on some hot date or something this evening, and didn’t need my broadband speed to be as quick as it usually is. Obviously, they didn’t read my post the other day where I was staying in and watching a DVD. Or maybe, they thought I actually was staying in and watching a DVD and thought I didn’t need my broadband speed this evening. Sigh. Again.
Whatever the reason, I have done what I usually do. I’ve ran out of time. I need to add a post of some sort, and with it being Hallo – Valentine’s Day – I have put the two together. (No time and no post, that is!)
My Inner Grump has come to the front. Declared Valentine’s over for this year. He’s now ran out into the grinds at the back of Aqua Mansion and is doing some rather strange jig by the fountain that is out there. That’s enough to frighten away all of the other monsters that usually congregate at this time of night. My Inner Grump has taken my Inner Zombie with him as well, and together, they are doing what looks like the Hokey Cokey together. I never actually knew that two people could do that together, but they are managing it. There’s left arms going in and out, and in my Inner Zombie’s case they are being shaken all about… all over the place in fact. At least they’re happy.
Which, really is what Valentine’s should be about. Happiness.
And fast internet connections.
