So I’m going to try this again. Last night I headed down to an internet café to update this and download some pics. Being dark out and all, I just went to one that is closest to our flat. It’s more a place for “gamers” but I went in anyway. It was more expensive than usual (I guess I was paying for the wide variety of games?). I had to pay before use, which annoys me but I did it. I got an hour. I needed a computer with a cd drive so I could upload pics, which gave me special privilege to go off into a smaller room. But I forgot the cd, so now I was stuck in a room with a really strange guy who was sleeping on the chairs but would wake up periodically to chain smoke. And there were ants. They were crawling around the keyboard. It was gross. I was going to leave but thought I would never get my money back from this guy and was too lazy to go somewhere else. Proving my devotion to the blog, I typed on. For the whole hour I wrote. It was detailed and well, just a blogging masterpiece. As I was spell checking (those of you who follow my blogging sibling may not believe it, but there is a spell check option) the %(*&^*^%&#$% computer turned off because my time was up. No warning (or not one that I could see as I type looking at the keyboard) and it was all gone. All of it. I was rather angry. Thankfully, I had Teitur, my accordion playing Scandinavian pop star in my discman to calm me down.

Moral of the story: don’t go to ant infested internet places when they stick you in a back room with a creepy, sleeping chain smoker. None of those things that made me lose my post, but just avoided such places regardless.
