An Internet-less Life
It’s been almost a week since I lost wireless in my apartment. The contract was in my roommate’s name, and she has moved out and taken the internet with her. It’s only until the end of May, when I’ll be moving out, but for the next three weeks I have no TV, no internet, and no roommates.
I’ve noticed a few things. One, I’ve been sleeping and reading even more than usual. There’s not a whole lot else to do. Two, the things that I need to do, but don’t want to, still aren’t necessarily getting done. The fact is, I have little motivation to take out the recycling, or organize the kitchen. Even without the distractions of facebook or mindless TV, it still isn’t happening. Three, with limited time on the internet when I’m visiting friends or at the library (as I am now), I do a lot less of the time-wasting browsing- no PerezHilton.com, no yahoo headlines, less Twitter. I feel less informed, but at the same time I recognize that most of the things I learned by reading random articles was fairly useless.
What do you do when you don’t have the internet? Do you notice your habits changing?

A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment. I think that you ought to write
more about this topic, it might not be a taboo matter but usually people do not talk about these subjects.
To the next! All the best!!
There’s a lot that Mikoto seems to know, be prepared for, and be capable of, without any explanation. I think that’s just part of the package when it comes to this story. It’s a way of depicting the magic of first love. I don’t expect the show will go into explaining the mechanics. The magic is just there to serve the story.
I’m also writing to let you be aware of what a amazing discovery my friend’s girl found reading through your blog. She figured out a wide variety of things, which included what it is like to have a marvelous helping heart to have other individuals without hassle thoroughly grasp specific multifaceted subject areas. You actually did more than people’s desires. I appreciate you for rendering these good, trustworthy, explanatory not to mention cool tips on that topic to Lizeth.
My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a variety of websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
Throughout this awesome scheme of things you secure an A+ just for effort and hard work. Where exactly you confused me was first in your facts. You know, as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn’t be much more true right here. Having said that, let me inform you exactly what did give good results. Your article (parts of it) is actually extremely engaging which is most likely the reason why I am making the effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, although I can easily notice a jumps in reason you come up with, I am definitely not sure of just how you seem to connect your details that help to make your conclusion. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your position but trust in the near future you link the facts better.
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Cheers

The times I have limited or no internet are usually when I’m traveling, and I find I do more reading than normal sitting in airports or on planes. Then, in the strange-to-me location I get out and do more walking and exploring.
During the odd periodic power outage here I also turn to reading, unless it’s after dark :) Then I’ll just listen to an audiobook until my phone gets dangerously close to running out of power.
I was in the hospital for a couple weeks a few years ago and could only access the internet from a few computers they had set up for families at different points on the floor. I would usually check in to my email for very brief periods each day, but then spent the rest of my time reading (and thank goodness for the ability to download all kinds of books on my Kindle).
I’ve been staying with my daughter and her husband for the last two weeks and their new baby. I brought my laptop, but things were busy enough that I only went online about two times a day, and then most of that time was spent skimming through my regular websites. I did little posting and I was amazed how well the internet did without me. LOL. Even on Facebook, I realized how silly most of the messages really are and passed over the majority of them. I had no books to read, but quite a few of my reserves came into the library while I’ve been away. I am so behind in reading. I leave for home tomorrow and I wonder if I’ll get back into the groove on the computer or whether I’ll scale back. We’ll see.
Well fortunately I am have the internet at home and at work. But I have been trying to get online less on weekends and do more reading and organizing things around the house.
