of free internet and a beautiful smile
So the zolspot at book cafe was acting up again around mid-morning today and I really needed to get some work done. I called up someone(name withheld) and went to see them at Sopranos.
Well they had been a Book Cafe regular till recently and with the charges that are in effect for ZOLspot packages nowadays people are frequenting the hotspots less. Doesnt mean that the Book Cafe has any less people onlune but fact is the former regulars have done an elvis and left the building.
Enter Sopranos, where you can have an Italian style meal in very very, errr urbane surroundings and, wait for it - surf the internet for free for as long as you like. Yes alongside their paid-for ZOLspot service they have their own hotspot and as long as you buy something, you can surf the internet to your heart's content.
Of course we are not talking broadband speeds here but it is enough to check your mail and do some general albeit light browsing.
And just to boot, there is a girl there with a smile that is for the ages. Oh, that smile.

the case of the NGO cache
So then the thing that is happening now. You know? That thing that they call the Government of National err, yeah that thing. Yeah well it has gotten a bit complicated for the NGO people because the money is about to dry up
So they have to become more creative and come up with other reasons to start new things to get money. You have a whole lot people arranging a lot of events now and giving them weird terms such as workshops and festivals and conferences and spending copious amounts of money on these things. It is a bit tired I will tell you that. What can I say? It isn't the easiest being me is it?
I mean how do people get so out of step it becomes a but silly. You have to think about the dangerous zone that you get into cause you get into the little black book yeah? And alas you don't need the little black book. There is no real direction is there? And what do I care? I am just the simple version of me making scars where there was peace before. What do I do
I am not sure but when I wake up tomorrow, it will be great, maybe. Oh gosh I have gone, so off-topic
