Well, during the middle of the laptop saga (all resolved now, and for a decent price) the router at my mom's gave out, and there was a big ordeal getting it replaced. Moral of the story, never use Embarq.
What I did instead of playing games/browsing the web:
Knit. A lot. A couple of quick mohair scarves that I gave to my aunt and cousin. Started on my very first sweater. Stopped because I wanted to see knitting videos on the internet to understand circular knitting. Tried to pick up crocheting. Need help with that one.
Watched BBC America. A lot. Luckily, the internet went out starting the week they showed the Torchwood: Children of Earth mini-series, as well as Being Human and Doctor Who.
Rewatched most of the first two seasons of Veronica Mars, and popped some less commonly watched DVDs in. Remembered why most of them were less watched.
But mainly, realized what a pain it is to live without the internet, considering how many bills I pay online, things I need to look up for my flights, etc. Amazing how quickly we as people adapt our life around technology and then struggle without it.
