HALP, y'all?

Thinking seriously about the logistics of it, for writing stuff and for my own sanity, I really, really don't want to give up the internet for a whole year while off in Israel. I know I said I didn't want to prejudice the experiment, but considering the actual things I want to investigate, Teh Intarwebz...aren't really a variable, so why be a masochist about it? Since some of the kibbutzim are within a not-terrible distance of Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, I'm relatively comfortable asserting that I'll be within range of a cell phone tower. Or that I can finagle my way into one that is.

So: isn't there something one can do with like a cell phone or a wireless modem or something to Make Internet Where there Was None Before?

I mean I'm going to just ask if one of the Super Modern ones /has/ wireless proper, but in case I can't squirm onto that one, I'm /sure/ there's something one can do with a cell, I just dunno what.

Things I have done recently:

1) seen Dark Knight (about which I Have Thoughts, and I will spit them out soon enough), Black Christmas and Euro Trip
2) had that adviser meeting--went relatively well--he is not an ass! I was wrong! Just really hapless! Which is almost lovable.
3) helped Danny sell shit back to Artifacts
4) listened to 'Waterloo' o_O (a few days ago I discovered, to my HORROR, that after Rome Laptop Theft I'd not reloaded ABBA onto the new comp--I have a lot of horrifying musical discoveries like this and have to rush to correct them avec hand-wringing whinging about how I could possibly not have noticed sooner that I didn't have Aladdin Sane on here or whatever)
5) started All This Laundry
6) sent my frigging editor the assignment she requested and dealt with ensuing bullshit, which I will not detail because it is simply whining at this point to harp on about her as there's no effectual aid, but rest assured: she is still unreasonable, and I still want to glove-smack her and duel. What? We're below the Mason-Dixon, we can still pull that shit, right?
7) HUNG OUT WITH EVERYONE most of y'all IN IOWA <3 <3 <3 (except for Xtian, who is still in dire need of sheets on his bed)


Also, Strindberg and Helium? Still super cute/funny, whether you like or hate August Strindberg.
