Yeah, I know I have a problem. I’m addicted. Hello. My name is Mark, and I’m a net-o-holic.
No, not quite. Hello, my name is Mark, and I’m a firewall-free bandwidth-o-holic.
This isn’t the first time that I’ve kept myself up late into the night downloading music, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. I’m thoroughly enjoying Ken’s Comcast cable connection. I’ve been downloading at a solid 300kbps+ for the last hour from the amazing DC++. At present, I’m downloading at 374kbps and have 24 silmultaneous downloads going. Whoo!
But that’s not the point. The point is that today was great. Ken and I slept in (well, until 10:00 or so, which is sleeping in for me, as of late) and then drove back to the cities. Ken cleared away a space, and I connected up my laptop. I killed an hour or so downloading, and then we headed off to meet Ken’s mom for dinner at P.F. Chang’s. Yes, you’re jealous. Yes, I have leftovers in the refrigerator downstairs. No, you may not have any. =P
After an amazing dinner, we drove to a small-ish venue called The Cedar where we met up with Ken’s dad and had the distinct priviledge of getting to see Lunasa perform. They’re a five-man celtic group and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. I would upload some of their music, but alas: they weren’t selling CDs after the show. It’s all good, though. You’ll just have to take my word that they were good (quite possibly the highlight of break, thus far).
And all of that brings me, via a warm brownie smothered in mint ice-cream courtesy of Ken’s dad, to my perch in Ken’s loft at about 12:25AM. Eventually I’ll go to bed. In the mean time, I’m going crazy with all this bandwidth.
Well, happy st. patty’s day, everyone. Or something.
