i arrived home last night from my grueling day at work only to realize how uninspiring my life had become of late. so, i phoned meghan and talked her & mark into going to the pub for wings. it was good. we ate little chicken appendages, drank beer, played cards (nb: i slaughtered them, taking a combined total of $15 from them. go me.) and people-watched.
there was the middle-aged biker dude and his hawg mama with the decapitated vulture tattoo, the drunk man who insisted that if you were to own just one baseball cap it must be the yankees’, the schoolmate of ours whose girlfriend was very friendly, and the man in the suit who kept staring at us playing cards.
memorable quote:
“i don’t look at their faces… it’s all about the tits.”
after getting home and making lunch for today, i sat at the computer to play a little quake and the phone rang. this was odd, it being nine o’clock. too early for tyler to phone and i’d just been dropped off by meghan. as soon as i picked it up i had telemarketer anxiety. as it turns out, i had nothing to fear.
the very pleasant and perky young man was calling from the cable company to tell me about their new offer on cable internet access. it must have been the beer in me, but i have an appointment for 6pm monday, july 30th to have a cable modem installed — free for one month, no installation charges & if i cancel at the end of the thirty days, i get to keep the nic.
i’m very excited. this is something i’ve been procrastinating getting for a very long time. *zoom* that’ll be me online!
Well alright for the buzz getting it done for you!!
what the hell does that mean? do you have fluid again?
yaaaaa…the frames are gone!
Woo hoo for Cable Modems! And I like it better this way, sans tables.
i got rid of the frames Just For You, dangerman.
frames. that’s what i meant. frames.
suuuure you did, buttercup.
there are no tables, either.
*blush*
frames.
I so like this layout better. :)
And I’m totally tempted to switch to DSL – they’re doing a promo w/ the equiptment free, a month free, and a free webcam (like we need a second, but, ya know… we DO have three operating computers right now and enough parts to build one for each of the cats). But I can’t quite get past spending $600 a year on Internet access vs. the $180 I spend now.
I meant that if it wasn’t for the buzz, you wouldn’t have been so relaxed and apt to listen the sales guy. That’s what you said. :(
i don’t know whether to just be pleased that everyone likes this layout or demoralized because everyone likes this layout better than the frames. *sigh*
it’s so hard to be me.
and, heather, for me, it’s only an extra $10/month to go cable from what i’m paying for my isp now. i may as well switch.
