what was i thinking?
every couple of years alvin and i get annoyed with time warner cable and our inability to stop watching t.v. long after our brains have quit working and we end up cancelling cable. right now we're really put off by our lack of self-control in addition to time warner's inability to supply a working cable modem connection to us even though we pay them many dollars a month for what should be a working service. we tried to switch to another cable modem or dsl service, but--haha--there's nothing else available! SBC doesn't provide dsl to our area and there's NO other competition. we live in the middle of austin. in a neighborhood. you know, with other people. who presumably are all using time warner? i guess so, which is likely why time warner thinks it's ok to suck: they know our only other option for internet service is dial up. no way.
i would just like to point out that when alvin and i lived out in the ass-middle of nowhere in north carolina, and our stupid cable modem quit working then, too, we switched from roadrunner to dsl because dsl was available. i'm having a really hard time believing that the middle of nowhere, north carolina, has more internet options than austin. but it's true and, therefore, is completely retarded.
because of our inability to function without the internet, we couldn't cancel roadrunner even though our connection is crappy--so we cancelled cable instead. i tried to ask them what was up with our half-ass connection, and they were like, let me check your connection. and then: well, it's working now. (i knew they would say that, which is why i didn't bother asking sooner.)
anyway, today is our last day of television as we know it. this makes me sad. among some of the programs i'm going to miss so much i'll probably cry:
1. the daily show
2. drawn together
3. south park
4. law & order (all of them)
5. anything on HGTV
but i can still watch desperate housewives, my favoritest of them all. i'm hoping the picture will be good enough for me to see how bree is going to kick george's ass--because george needs a good ass kicking, and then he needs to be knocked over the head and thrown off a bridge after being poisoned while having a fatal heart attack. it's only fair. george is going down.
i still don't know what i'm going to do about law & order though. the thought of not being able to watch it almost makes me regret that we've cancelled cable. but not quite, because time warner is evil and must be destroyed.

my parents are getting me an ipod for christmas. i wasn't supposed to know this but my sister told me. it's going to be a happy christmas. =)
hee. i appreciate that, but you are ALLOWED to use caps. see, i just did. =)
i got into the habit years ago, in real-time chat rooms, of not using caps because it was quicker not to. i don't know why i felt the need to type faster in real time--but the habit stuck.
i really do. i like the industrial look of the circle thingies juxtaposed with the rose petals. (that sounds cheesy, but it's what i like about it.)
