Well, we're still up in Tahoe-land, and I continue to be without true, computer-based internet. I had considered trying to make my way to the Starbucks at the Y, but found that my efforts would have been more or less fruitless anyway - I don't have the proper firmware to jailbreak my phone the easy way, so I'm gonna have to wait until I get home so I can really focus my time and energy on it.

Well, that... And there's also that foot and a half of snow that decided to dump on us overnight. Interestingly, though I've been with Liz for seven years now, who GREW UP in Tahoe, I've only ever seen it actually SNOW once before in my lifetime - back when I was about fourteen or so. And I have NEVER seen it snow as hard as it was last night and this morning. It was more of a white-OUT Christmas, really. And to everyone who thinks it's super mega awesome to live in the snow... Shovel a driveway. You'll change your tune.

in any case, I'll be back in the land of proper Internet reception as of Saturday, thankfully... not that anyone even noticed, what with the holidays and whatnot. (btw- Saturday is Liz' birthday - don't forget to send her some birthday wishes!)

So, liz and I are cuurentl up in Tahoe visiting her family dr Christmas, and have sadly found ourselves sans Internet access. "well then, Mr. Smartypants, how are you posting this rant then, hmm?" Well, thankfully Liz' parents live in a good 3G zone, so I'm able to post this from my phone. If we can manage to get down to a starbucks or something (it's been snowing pretty good, so I don't want to push my luck too far) I'll look into jailbreaking the phone and see if I can get it tethered up to the laptop for Internet.

stay tuned... We'll see if we can't get some comic action going here in the next day or so.
