START ME UP
|
Well, I am back amongst the Internet-living. Along with it comes cable TV. Having to reprogram my DVR to record certain shows is annoying, but 'fun' in a weird way. It's like Christmas. I haven't been able to watch some of my shows that I enjoy for so long that seeing them all over again is like a brand new show.
The irony of all this cable/internet was the cable company wanted to send me everything I would need to install it myself. Which was cool. Save $75, which I'm all about at this point. Picking up the needed equipment was just as 'easy', but wasn't without it's inner city waiting in queue wackiness. It's fun being the only person to speak English. Otherwise I would have to wait another 5 days for the company to come out and flip a switch to allow my apartment cable.
Along the with the installation on Friday that I was doing myself, I thought that my cable/internet would also be working. No... They were still not coming out to my apartment for 5 days. Even after an innocent call to tech support where I tried to convince them I was schedule for a Friday connection, which didn't work, I had to wait. Ok fine... I've waited this long. I can wait a few more days. A few more long arduous days.... People! It's an addiction. A glorious, loving, welcome, addiction.
So Tuesday comes along and I come home to find the DVR box working. Yay! I fire up the computer... Bzzt... "Well, that's a funny sound for a monitor to make."
My monitor died. At the exact time that I was going to test the connection of the internet. DAGNABBIT!!! After a couple frustrated phone calls to people with monitors, my best friend Mike hooked me up with a monitor that is slightly smaller than my television. Which you can talk one of two ways. Either I have a small television or I'm using a big monitor. Trust me... I am using a big monitor.
Yay! Big monitor!
Yay! Cable TV (and the timely return of Project Runway)
Yay! Inkernet!
Yeah... it takes very little to amuse me. Consider yourself lucky. |
