Since the post below is rather different than how I usually blog I will give you a choice. Or you can read both. Personally I prefer that you do. While I’m not going to be blogging for the next few days I will be adding to the story below it.
For a minute I lost the technorati, and my Google page rank. This, of course, totally stunned and freaked me, until I realized that I had been kicked off the Internet.
Repaired and changed the connection, to a neighbors. No, actually I have never had the nerve to do it, but would love to. I know the computer name for every network in my building. Figured out about six so far. Hint: Don’t use your last name or apartment number
After I repaired my connection I received this message:
“if the problem persists speak to your system manager.”
“Hello system manager, it is I, Pia, the owner, sole user and technician on Savannah Falls Too.”
“Yes Pia. This is Pia. What is the problem?”
” How do I fix this problem permanently?”
“You’re asking me? That’s like asking you. That is asking you.”
“Yeah but you’re the system side of me.”
“System side of you? You must be crazy. You have no system side.”
“Everybody has a system side.”
“No, I’m telling you; we don’t.”
“We know how to keyword for Google.”
“Lost art of keywording.”
“So we must know some sort of system.”
“Well, actually I think it’s a cable problem.”
“Usually is.”
“You want to call them?”
“You crazy? During a transit strike.”
All sides of me gasp
“Our cable TV is out. How are we supposed to take a blogging break?”
“All the books we haven’ t read. Think it’s time to start.”
“What a brilliant idea.”
Once again I found peace with myself.




I have conversations with myself ALL the time, but not nearly as intelligent
Your template is absolutely beautiful!
There’s nothing like inner peace. Too cute!
Happy Holidays Pia…
(Thanksgiving and New Years naturally…)
All the books we haven’ t read. Think it’s time to start.â€
“What a brilliant idea.â€
Absolutely Pia!
You’ve been inside my head haven’t you!
Must change password for that based on your handy tips……….
Is it February yet where life seems to stand still for a decade?
BA HA HA HA HA HAAA!
fabulous.
Hey, I hear the strike is over for now! You can talk to yourself on the train again!
I’ll take a mediocre book over great tv anytime.
Glad to hear you have transportation for the coming holidays. Stay safe- keep warm-spread the love!
I think you have been sipping on the egg-nogg a little to early… I’ll have what you’re having… LOL!
Hope you have a wonderful Hanukkah…
happy days of no more strike pia.
enjoy the holidays and read some of those books and pretend you are the ultimate systems managers.
I’ve always been told that it’s OK to talk to yourself, but when self starts to answer, then you’re in trouble. So….does this conversation mean that you and self are having a full blown conversation? Should we be looking for men in white coats?
Sorry, work’s getting old and I’m looking for a laugh. Happy Hollidays, screw being PC
Love your writing, love your world… love the girl behind all the pink!
Happy Hanukkah and happy reading!
Happy Hanukah Pia! Hope you will be having a very lovely time of it there in The Big Apple! I’m here via Michele today, and happy to be here, I might add….!
Hi Pia,
I just stopped by to say hi & read your blog. I hope all is well (I’m worried, you haven’t written a new post!) & will be thinking of you.
