Technology Deprived

So my MacBook crashed and my telephone is broke, and while I go through the jitters of technology withdrawals, I have been greedily seeking out alternate ways of "staying connected". Luckily, my luck in that department is gradually improving and I have found various internet cafes with descending hourly rates (the best being Milk (don't ask), just off of Metro Chatelet for 3.90€/hr) But, glorious bargain seeker that I am, today I discovered that the Centre Pompidou library offers free public internet access in intervals of 40 minutes! Yes, you have to line up and wait usually around 10 minutes, but that is a small price to pay for gloriously gratuit websurfing. On the upside of this mostly frustrating venture, I have discovered a whole new underbelly of Parisian culture; the glaze-eyed gamers who sit intensly at their cavernous cubicles shooting imaginary gunmen in the midst of cyber wars. Fun fun.
