How dependent are you on the Internet?

November 7th, 2009

Me? Very! It took about 6 weeks for my broadband connection to be set up in my new flat (5 to get a phone line..thank you BT!). Until that I had the Internet through a 3G USB stick. It worked but was pretty flaky. Now, I’m back with a proper connection and it made me realise how dependent I am on the Internet. It’s a bit like you’re unplugged from the world without it. Email has become my primary form of communication. The first thing I do when I get home is switch on the TV and flick my laptop open on my Netvibes homepage. BitTorrent download is gift from the Gods. And I do a lot of shopping online too. So in short I am extremely dependent on the Internet. It’s good to be back online.

Feeling the strain

November 7th, 2009

It’s been a while since I have had a good night sleep. Combined with a lack of exercise, bad eating hygiene and too many drunken nights my body (and mind) is really starting to feel the strain. It is time I start pulling myself towards myself. So commencing today I’m giving my body a break from alcohol. The first thing I will do tomorrow is go for a run. And I need to eat properly. One has to be sensible from time to time…
