So Twitter’s down and that means… drunk blog. Ok, well I’m not really all that drunk. I just had some wine and I’ve got a nice buzz but now I’m reaching that part of the curve where I’m getting kind of sleepy. Anyway, last night I promised myself I’d unplug. No internet, no TV, no Xbox, no phone or anything from 8pm onwards. This idea came from a workshop that Ariel took.

The night started off well. The very first thing I did was run to my guitar and belt out a few tunes. There was a heavy silence in the room that I just needed to clear. Then I was bored again and it was only 8:30pm. I unloaded the dryer (from 2 days before). 8:50pm, still bored. I start sorting my old bills into stacks and filing them away. Yes, I’m doing all this housework because I have no internet. Also? I’m drinking wine.

At around 9:05pm I remember I’d signed up to some stupid web-seminar about taxes and I had to login so I reluctantly booted up ye olde MacBook Pro and went to the website. “Meeting Not Found.” Great. Since the computer was on anyway, I started surfing and chatting and went back to my old ways. “I’ll do this on Thursday night, ” I told myself.

Thursday night, I get home and I challenge myself to finish the bottle of wine. I forgot all about disconnecting myself from this multitasking world blah blah blah. I’ll have you know, I won that challenge. Now I am going to go to bed with a slight buzz, goodnight.
