I returned to LA last night to find my internet connection was not working and decided I’d just deal with it in the morning. So this morning I got up and managed to get the internet up and running – for a while – and promptly discovered my phone has no dial tone, something that has been happening on and off for a few weeks. It is now 7:00pm and I still have no phone and a very unstable internet connection, but my computer is showing a strong airport signal and telling me I DO have a connection. Everytime I click on the airport signal icon I am shown a list of all available networks, and every single click I make brings up a different list of networks, so my theory is that there are simply too many laptops in our neighborhood, all working on wireless connections, and my computer is getting confused.

I get confused enought as it is. If my computer is going to start getting confused as well I am in BIG TROUBLE.
