So yesterday. Oh, yesterday. I got up early, did some work and made some freelance type calls. Hung around, did some more work. The standard Sunday drill. I went for a walk, had some juice, came back and thought some more about other work.

Then I took a little nap, since I had gotten up at around 9am but gone to bed around 6. So I took a little nap and got up and sat down at the computer. The intardweb didn’t work. Well, shit, that happens. So I go to unplug the router and the cable modem to kick them both in the ass.

Which is when I realize the cable modem looks … damp and discolored. Also: all of its lights are on at once and solid. That is never a good sign. So I look at it and move some stuff and realize …

The cat vomited on the cable modem. Not only on but into as the modem has these holes in the top to let heat dissipate. So now, filled with cat goo, the modem does not work. Ever again.

I think I’m getting a new one tonight, if not tonight then tomorrow, but that’s why some things didn’t get done last night and might not get mailed off tonight.

The cat vomited into my intardwebs and killed them.

For the record a tactic was suggested and tried! Ariana thought that maybe it was like Ghostbusters II. So I turned off the modem, fired up Walking on Sunshine because I did not have Higher and Higher and plugged the modem back in. Maybe, it was reasoned, cat goo acts like the pink goo in Ghostbusters II and if I got it happy enough the modem would dance and be juuuuust fine.

This did not happen.

I blame my lack of Higher and Higher.
