Insomnia, please release me and let me dream
I'm so goddamn awake right now it's borderline ridiculous. And guess what, the internet is working again! Well, it was working all along, it was just the box sending out the signal to the computer upstairs and to dad's laptop that had gone kaput. You know, the box making our internet wireless. So now I'm sitting right next to our internet-making-thingy plugged into dad's laptop. Don't know when we'll get a new wireless-transmitter. Maybe on Friday, when I go to cut my hair. I'm going to put various photos out of how I look right now to get the proper before/after - effect. That might not happen until next week though.
Did I mention that I work at the Tourist-information in my town? Well, I do. And it's slow as hell these days. Read a story on the Tourist-info in Mo (a city, I live in a town-ish place), which is about 30mins from here, and it said that they get about 500-600 tourists each day... I've been working nearly three weeks, and I've had about seven tourists altogether. 500 to 600, ...seven. Let's just put it like this: 500 > 7, and leave it at that. Luckily the Tourist-info is located at the, umm... I'm completely stumped now. The lobby of the City Hall? Anyway, it's were the secretaries hang out and answer phones which usually go along the lines of "Mr. Man? Sure, I'll put you right through" if you understand. So I get to do that stuff as well, and it's pretty much what I do all day. And seeing as it can get quite dead sometimes, I spend most (read: all) of my time online. The first week I just browsed the national newspapers, updating them as I went out of things to read, I also read a lot of reviews over at Pitchfork. But in my second week I found something much better to spend my time on, namely Neil Gaiman. He keeps an online journal and his archives reach as far back as 23rd of September 2001. My older brother recommended I check it out aaaaages ago, but I never did. Now I've read about a year into the journal, and it's interesting, funny and boring. The boring part is mostly when he lists promotional stuff for his book tours and convetion stuff. Not much use for that.
Anyway, I gotta go try and sleep now.
Pleasent dreams
