Live from Balatina

Hey!

I just bought a flash drive with a SIM card and have a form of wireless jigging in little Alix here... The connection's a bit dodgy and I'm having serious problems downloading Skype, but overall I'm just damned happy to have any internet at all! I've waited this long to get back connected to the world, I can ponder this fresh problem a couple days...

The other problem is this window here is refusing to let me copy my ready-made Open Office documents into the bodies of blogs... Thus, they will not be terribly well thought out... Stream of Conciousness Commence. (this statement makes me think of Virginia Woolf in a 70s anime robot form... foarte straine)

Anyway, my having any connection to y'all (I've decided its a travesty that the English language doesn't have a plural you pronoun, thus the traditionally hickish "y'all" is quite acceptable) is all thanks to my wonderful partner Renata. She's my only real friend here in the tiny village of Balatina--right on the Romania border, ages away from everyone else I know in this continent. She is one of the two English teachers at my school and my Romanian tutor as well. She had to stand as proxy for me to buy my little Orange USB stick of internet since foreigners aren't allowed to buy it themselves.

She kicks ass. I think she is magic.

More on everything as daily-y as possible! It's good to be back!
