wifi refugee pt.2
after roughly 60 minutes of joy-division assisted caffeine buzz, the usually reliable stumptown turned on some ROCK! that sounded more like speed-metal blasted on a blown mono-speaker-tapedeck placed at the bottom of a glass aquarium filled with nails. or something like that. ouch.
packing my belongings, i set off again, only to end up a few blocks away at tiny's cafe. comfortable chairs, free wifi, and the ability to serve both coffee and sandwiches: surely, this is the perfect mid-day stop?
of course, it's never that easy.
the servers are cute, but this wifi bounces more than my old buick. what a tease. after an infuriating hour of on-again off-again signal, i jump to an obscure open network that appears to be coming from the taqueria next door.
yes. i am now TYPING on a MEXICAN RADIO.

ok, so maybe that doesn't have the resonance of a well executed pop reference that i thought it would. what can i say, i'm out of my element...
not a problem, really, as the aformentioned cute barista is now giving me that "it's daylight now and the wine has worn off and why the hell are you still here" look.
guess it's time to move again.

you did however succeed in getting that mexican radio song stuck in my mind for all of today. cheers?
