Ahhh, I finally have my internet again. I had my last fight with the Verizon DSL people last Friday, which led to the cancellation of their services, and now I'm back with a lovely, fast, cable connection.
We also got cable for the television. Digital cable. I haven't had cable for my television since I moved out of my parents' house six years ago. It's weird and...I'm not sure I like it too much. My Steve and I are book people, not TV people, and we're so afraid of getting sucked into the mindrotting vortex that is cable television. I don't ever want to catch myself telling him one day, "...and then all of a sudden, I found myself watching Friends rerunsAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!" We do like IFC and Sundance, and Discovery and Animal Planet, and the History Channel, and some Comedy Central though. And the regular movie channels aren't so bad either. This is just going to take some adjusting to, that's all.
