I'm going home tomorrow!!!!!!
do you see the happiness?
also, oddly, my mother has just given me $300. She's never helped me out before (I'm dirt poor but self-supporting), it was a surprise gift. cool
so I took the opportunity to buy myself something I've been wanting -- the new creatures in my head book.

Creatures In My Head
though not so much with the whole SG in MaccyD's scenario!
Last time I was in Paris and couldn't get internet at home I spent hours upon hours in my local internet cafe, mainly on SG. It was a nice place, run by this ageing hippy with long hair and no shoes, ever, who had all this vegetarian food in little jars that nobody ever ate. I liked it, but it wasn't cheap. In case you should want to check it out, it's called Eighty Web and can be found at 88, rue des Dames in the 17th, but I guess it's a bit of a trek from the tenth and anyhow, c'est pas a qui manque Paris!
I haven't been back to Shakespeare's in years, presumably since summer '99 when I bought The Book that Saved my Life. Maybe I'll stop by next time I'm in town (although St-Michel is not really a quartier I 'do' very much anymore...
I did find a place with wi-fi at the remote and strange Porte Maillot in the big convention centery place they have there. I really like Porte Maillot, but only discovered it at the end of my last stay so didn't spend much time. Went to the cinema there to watch The Incredibles.
And, mm, I do have a laptop with a wireless card but have not had much success using it yet. What ISP do you use in Mcdo?
Ever tried hacking into anybody's wi-fi network in your apartment? People live so much on top of each other in Paris that I think it's pretty common...
