Ultimately, my father and I went and bought a new one. (Well, he bought it. I offered, as I&#8217;m really the one who makes use of it and because&#8230;well, without an internet connection, do I even exist?) The new one seems to be working, which is already a step up over the old failed router.<\/p>\n<p>And I actually did manage to do a <i>little<\/i> writing.

And weirdly, the fact that it&#8217;s not always <i>scary<\/i> isn&#8217;t exactly a bad thing. I don&#8217;t know that all the good things about it add up to a good movie, necessarily, but it definitely has its moments.<\/p>\n<p>This day has, too, despite the rain and the aggravation of so many hours lost to broken technology.
