Journal entries in 'Dear Diary' for March, 2004

well, that's good. today my internet went down, as it does from time to time. it is usually back up within a few minutes, so i waited. after an hour it wasn't back, so i called innova.net to ask how long till it came back up. they said actually, they were discontinuing their DSL service. they had asked bellsouth for 5 days so they could notify their customers, but apparently bellsouth went ahead and cut them off now. so what he recommended was i switch providers. i explained that i'm leaving in a few weeks and it wasn't worth signing up for a new provider right now, and he said all i could do was use their dialup service. so now i'm stuck on dialup, and it disconnects every few minutes so i've been trying to send a 1mb email to a friend for a while now and it keeps getting cut off before it's done sending. this is fun.
