My mom can’t get DSL, she’s too far away from the station. It’s a shame, because she would have had it ready for Thanksgiving. Now I’m reduced to about a 40kbps connection. Good enough to IRC and play Simcountry, but that’s about it.
The drive down was a typical Thanksgiving weekend drive down I-5. Of course, it took me almost as long to get from Magic Mountain to home than it did to get to Magic Mountain. Gosh, I love L.A. traffic. Have I ever mentioned that? (never moving back, never moving back)
As tempted as I am, I think we’re avoiding the shopping tomorrow. A surprising amount of the conversation at dinner today was around computers, and how little it costs to upgrade today, especially when dealing with 4 year-old computers.
Why do I have a feeling that this mood is going to be used throughout LiveJournal more than any other today?
That’s why anybody in their right mind and with the means…
does not live anywhere near L.A. proper.
I-5 Alternates are your friend
I just drove thru the magic mountain crap…and decided to take an alternate this time. It’s a road parallel to I-5 called “The Old Road” and it goes at 55mph with relatively little traffic and goes past magic mountain. I think I saved like 30 min just doing that.
Good to know highway alternates in la.
