CafeNET

What does a girl have to do to get a cup of coffee at 4.30pm (on a Friday no less) in this town. There are some things in the European and American food life style that I’m not so keen on (to generalise terribly, the long drawn out meals and massive portions respectively) but the coffee culture or large populations of either mean that you can get a cup of coffee at any time and it doens’t have to be from a pub. Superfino is closed already. The People’s Coffee garage door was closing when I got there. So here I am back up at funky Offbeat Originals in Left Bank. And the coffee is pretty good today.

Am also trying out CafeNET for the first time. Should’ve nicked the Mister’s Mac wireless internet thingy that he uses for work but I’m not like that even though am largely here checking work emails and tickets (*privately* of course). Just like I don’t expense claim every damn cup of coffee that I buy on work business. Anyway I’m rambling. CafeNET is cool! Just signed up for $20 worth of bytes and it’s fast! Wouldn’t know I’m not at home. I always wondered how it worked – so even though you can choose ‘CafeNet’ as the wireless provider every site is blocked (no connection) except theirs – I guess they have to make it so easy for you to buy!

(God. I’m the most normal person here. Everyone’s smoking, not sure how long I’ll last. Oh! And a woman near my just got the tiniest dog out of her handbag!)

(Normal, but cool… just took that photo on my phone, emailed it to myself & uploaded it. Yeah I’m a geek!)
