As you know, these days have
found me with a lot less internet time than I would have hoped for. To call
this hindrance really annoying would be like calling a bullet to the heart
simply an inconvenience.
Hey, not all of us are Arnold
Schwarzenegger.
In any case, the opportunist
that I am, you would expect me to use this occasion to begin writing again.
Lazy or not, the pure boredom would probably get me to back to my stories like
nothing else ever could.
Probably might have worked,
really. Except for one simple thing. Or, well, to be more accurate, a lack of
it.
Electricity.
The power cuts took care of whatever
hope I had. From eight am to six pm, workers would be busy down the road
meddling with all those cables, shifting them from old post to new. Obviously,
it would seem that they were averse to electrocution, but still, you’d think
that their payment covers… Never mind.
Bottom line, no electricity
during the day. My laptop battery doesn’t last half a minute if it gets unplugged
from the main while the lap is still on.
Ergo, not only did I no longer
have access to the wonderful World Wide Web, as of now I also did not have
access to my Dear Delightful Dell during daylight hours. And by the time night
finally rolled around, I was in no mood to start writing. All I have the energy
to do is plop on my headphones and play a movie.
Did I just hear you say, “Excuses,
excuses,”? Well, excuuuuuse me.
