Trapped with no Wi-Fi (o no!)
I typed this Thursday night and forgot to post it then, so here it is:
——
Here’s the scenario. I showed up 45 early to Mellow Mushroom for trivia tonight. I have my laptop with me since I was planning to get some work done in the 45 minutes before trivia starts. Well, I get here, and what do I discover? The wifi is not working tonight. Now, I don’t know how long it has been down, but the whole reason I got here early was to goof around on the internet, checking emails, writing a blog post, whatever.
Nope, now I sit here, typing this into Pages, a great word processor from Apple. When I get home, I will put this into WordPress and publish it. Just know that it was typed during the great Mellow Mushroom WiFi outage of 2008.
Yoforia, the frozen yogurt place next door, has a wireless network called “yoforiafreewifi”. When you try and connect, it asks for a password. I thought I would be sneaky and call them and ask for the password. I did, and the girl says “Um, we don’t have wifi, but they do next door”.
Yes you do, and no they don’t!
Darn you, non-functioning WiFi!
And you too, free-wifi-with-a-password!

Anyone out there play team trivia?
Feb 7, 2008 Grab Bag
Well I do. And I absolutely love it. Tonight is a rare Thursday that I am free, so I am meeting up with some friends to play trivia at the Mellow Mushroom. I’m not sure if we will win, but its fun and the food is good. By the way, tomorrow’s Friday Five is going to be a good one…

Every Wednesday night, a bunch of us go to Taco Mac to play their team trivia. It is almost a tradition, and we are actually pretty hardcore. We even joined the league. Is that bad?
Last night, we were in 1st place out of about 16 teams going into the half-time bonus question. By the end of the game, we had dropped to 5th or so, so no moo-lah for us.
Last night, some group decided to have a private party which took up half of the restaurant, so that made the entire place PACKED, to the point where they ran out of chairs. We all squeezed into a booth (rather uncomfortably), but all was good. I mean, with Taco Mac queso, how can one complain about anything?
Despite the non-placement and the huge crowd, we still had a blast!
