I had suspected this firewall stuff

It was my last night in California, this woman with an expensive pc laptop
was doing
her best to distract me from focusing. Her soaps were on. She was
complaining
about a sears washer that came broken.
My other friend was reading aloud from a book called something like you the
maintanance manual and I was grimly taking a last shot at the rabbit to jump

between a pc and a mac. Noone gave a darn about the children
I was trying to prototype for in another family with a less glitz computer.
They all liked the soap lady for "her power and independence".

Finally I gave up (just to see if they would stop going like a three ring
circus
at the expense of my sanity).

I don't want to go about the details.

This stuff got into my head too much.

When the smoke cleared in my mind I realized a firewall was probably up
because I had spoken to the it lady at Redland's library
on not being able to mac iChat with theorist interactive.

But by then I didn't know if I was ever going back to that crazy sort of
scene.
