Yay, my internet is working!

I hadn't bothered to try it, since the modem was doing the weird flashy things with the lights that it was doing before, but the wireless I was poaching crapped out, so I figured it was worth a shot, and - once I reset it and it was connected to my computer, it worked. Oops. I wonder how long I was stealing wireless unnecessarily. Ah, well. I'd feel stupid and vaguely guilty, but I just can't feel badly for people who don't password protect their wireless. It's like leaving the door hanging open with your expensive electronics in clear view. Darwinism in its more subtle, no-one-actually-dies form. If anyone reading this has wireless? Lock it down. Otherwise, you are wide open to the opportunists who will happily take advantage of you.

I must now return to the episode of Sliders with Jeffrey Dean Morgan that serendipitously showed up on my flist just as I was starting to wonder how to catch up on the career of an actor who's mostly been working in television. The character is evil and thuggish and in black leather, guys. Every time I think I've got my sexuality figured out (in its current incarnation: guys are pretty to look at, but I would rather touch the girls), someone like Jeffrey Dean Morgan shows up to confuse me all over again. I don't think I'd sleep with him, though. Just, you know, stare at him and listen to him talk with that growly voice of his and go into a happy trance.

. . . and thus endeth the paragraph of More Than You Probably Wanted to Know.

Who is Jeffrey Dean Morgan? That name sounds familiar to me for some reason.

Also hooray for no longer having to steal wireless. I wouldn't feel guilty about it if the neighbors left it unprotected. You're just asking for someone like me to swoop in and steal it. :P

He's an actor who was obscure for a long time, but got famous last year when he landed roles on Supernatural, Gray's Anatomy, and Weeds. Now he's at a point in his career where he can pretty much pick and choose what he wants to do, and he's been doing some movies and the like. Which I can't wait to see. :D He is the guy to the right in my icon.

Hmmm, I think I was confusing him with someone else. Not bad on the eyes though.

Yes, since I am currently without cable (can't afford it right now), I am endlessly thankful for the five to six open wireless connections I can find. Two of them are purposefully unlocked - Wireless Hartford which is trying to bring internet access to all of Hartford, for the time being it's free, and wireless from one of the restaurants across the street from me. The rest are unlocked personal connections. I have absolutely no qualms about using it...it's their damn fault. One of the networks was locked briefly, but is unlocked again now. :)

Ah, well. I'd feel stupid and vaguely guilty, but I just can't feel badly for people who don't password protect their wireless.
Same here. I don't have wireless myself, but last year when I was catsitting for my aunt she was temporarily connection-less and I was able to get my online stuff done anyway because her neighbours are clueless eejits.

For some reason, the entire paragraph of More Than You Probably Wanted to Know made me laugh like a loon. I don't even know anymore, man. Finals, brain, bad things.

And whatever, if it's a sexuality that on some level appreciates Justin Verlander, it's a sexuality that I understand. :)

Huzzah for internet! ^^ (and my wireless is encrypted and everything =D not that I know anything about how to do that, but the guy who set it up was cool and smart like that ^^ )

And actually, that was a nicely insightful glance into Cathryn-dom, to me? I'd been a little curious, given a few things you'd said ^^ Sexuality is just tricksy to figure out. I've given up on labels because every time I come up with one, something happens to make me think "well, uh, maybe not" XD
