9:33 am- I just rolled off Karin’s spare futon, and got up slowly and groggily. I helped myself to a glass of water. I cursed my hangover and my lack of foresight from the night before. I reached for my phone to check my email and Facebook.
Oh, wait, damn. Can’t do that. No internet today. I wrote this instead.
10:00 am- We’re all packed up in Jessica’s car, ready to head back to Iwamizawa for her church after the Higashikawa Easter event. I had a lot of fun. Too much fun, one might say. I don’t regret it. I am, however, wondering how I am going to amuse myself during the drive with no internet on my phone.
10:07 am- I can’t find my ipod. We have to go back, Jack!
10:13 am- oops, it was in a hidden pocket in my jacket all along. Sorry for making you late, Jessica! I know you have a 3 hour drive ahead of you and your church has already started and you want to be there by noon.
10:25 am- I wonder if any embarrassing photos from last night have surfaced on the internet yet. I should check. Oh wait...
10:35 am- maybe I will just take a nap. Leave the driving and k-pop to Jessica. Yes, that sounds like a good idea.
11:46 am- I wonder how close to Iwamizawa we are.
11:47 am- wow, only that far away? How did we get here that quickly?
11:48 am- Jessica, how fast are you going?
11:49 am- maybe I should just go back to sleep until we get there. Yes, that is a good idea.
12:05 pm- oh look, we’ve arrived at the LDS church in Iwamizawa.
12:07 pm- Jess left me the car keys so I can hang while she gets all holy or whatever she does in church. What should I do? No internet. No internet. No internet.
12:10 pm- I have no clue what to do. Maybe I will go for a walk, get some fresh air. And coffee. Lots of coffee. And water. Why does my head still hurt?
12:40 pm- That walk was lovely. This coffee is delicious. I can’t get over the fact that I’m wearing a sun dress without tights and my legs aren’t cold! Summer is coming! Summer is coming! I should tweet about this! Oh, wait...
12:45 pm- trying to play guitar in the back seat of a car is more difficult than I had anticipated. Maybe I will just put it away, and wait.
12:48 pm- this is boring.
1:00 pm- okay, where are Jess and Andromeda? Church ended a whole second ago!
1:10 pm- still not here.
1:15 pm- nope.
1:20 pm- oh look there they are! And they are bringing the elders with them! Yay! I get to meet them hung-over in my indecent sundress! Quick, I’d better zip it up!
1:30 pm- well that was fun. I think I made an okay impression!
2:00 pm- I’m finally home sweet home! No time to get to the cello concert, though. What should I do instead? Stream a show? Nope, can’t. Watch a movie online? Nope. Check facebook? Nope. Check my email? Nope. Hmm... I could read!
2:01 pm- my e-book is dead. Maybe I will take a shower!
2:15 pm- that was nice. Now what?
2:30 pm- ooh I’ll watch these DVDs I have had for ages and haven’t watched cuz I’ve had the internet!
4:24 pm- Totoro is strange.
4:26 pm- Dinner time! What should I make? I am lazy. Lazy lazy. Edamame from the freezer it is for now!
4:30 pm- maybe I’ll write in my journal a bit.
5:16 pm- that was nice :)
5:34 pm- ooh I’ll continue the DVDing with this rare and unseen footage Bowie DVD I have. Yes. So much yes.
5:45 pm- man David Bowie smokes a lot.
5:51 pm- he also acts a little bit like a giant asshole.
6:35 pm- right, now that I know more about Bowie than I ever needed to, what now? Ooh I still have Pleasantville on my computer!
7:35 pm- this movie is weird. Also I am super sleepy.
And that is the last thing I wrote before I fell asleep.
All in all, I think the internet-free day was a good idea! I think I will continue to adopt it every Sunday. It made me more productive, I did things I wouldn’t have done otherwise, like finally watching those films. I could get used to it.
Have you ever gone without internet or anything? Let me know :D
