I’m sitting in IHOP at 4:00 A.M. dinking around on the Internet with my laptop and a cell phone.

*Rustle rustle rustle* CLANK! (Crap falling off the table). Shimatta*.

Ooooh, slashdot. New article posted, have to check it out.
Dammit, phone lost the net connection. Gotta reconnect.
Alright, back to the class website. Must work on this stuff. Why is my coffee cup empty? Oh yeah, spoon. Where is that thing?
*Shuffle Shuffle Splash!* Aggh! Water and consumer electronics don’t mix! Move the laptop, clean up the mess.
Reconnect the phone and log back onto the Internet. Now what was I doing? Oh yeah, homework.

I suppose I could just try my finger. Hmmmmm.
AGGGGHH!! That’s hot!
Alright, I think it’s time to go home. I’ll do homework there…
Yeah, right.
