A
lightning bolt struck down my Internet service last week. Being
without Internet blows my
mind. I call my Internet provider everyday, but nothing happens. Two
weeks ago, another lightning bolt did the same, and I lived
internetless for more than one week.
Life
loses its sense without surfing online. Friends, family, pets, radio
music stations, TV programs, books, all of them have occupied my time
for years, but now they seem so unappealing. How human beings
survived for millions of years without chatting, blogging, posting,
or youtubing? Who knows.
Today
I bought a newspaper; at least, a Sudoku and a crossword wait for my
brain. Later, I dusted my old TV because a new sitcom starts tonight in a
local channel. Wow! Political ads have filled the local channels; we
vote next month. Where the heck is the remote control...
Later, I dusted OFF my old TV because a new sitcom starts tonight ON a local channel.
ReplyDelete"Dusted" was fine but "dusted off" sounds better. Is the crossword in English or Spanish?
Matt,
ReplyDeleteI hope your son is fine.
Ya se está mejorando. Ahora yo soy el que necesita la simpatía!
DeleteIt's very difficult for me to do crosswords in English. Sometimes I try to do the crossword of the USA Today but I can complete only five or six words.
ReplyDeleteDo you watch the last week presidential debate? Romney did a good job. The polls are close.
Yes, crosswords are very difficult and are not a good indicator of language ability.
DeleteI didn't watch the debate, but I've heard plenty about it. It certainly has made the race more interesting suddenly.
