disconnected

all my internetting has slowed to a crawl recently as i've actually being doing things with my hands IRL. maybe you'll see some of those things, probably you won't. for now, i give you these recent words of affirmation from my wife of eight years:

"no, you just look like a slob. i'll let you know when you look like a (expletive deleted) slob."

huzzah!

internets are back. backternets.

i can't wait to really check it out, but based on the five minutes i got to mess with it, the uverse tv and internet package is pretty freakin' sweet. the interface is easily the best non-tivo interface i've seen and it can record four tv shows at once!

here's to media gluttony!

tick... tick...

disconnect

in an attempt to:

A - save some cash

B - get more HD channels

and C - get faster internets

we're going to be switching from directv and sonic.net to at&t uverse for all. this means two semi-interesting things will occur:

1 - i will now have four bills a month; netflix, rent, car payment and cellphonehomephoneinternettelevision.

2 - we'll be without internet for a week as apparently there is some insane federal law that you can't have DSL when you order new DSL. seriously, who wrote that brilliant bit of inconvenience? no halo, no IM, no LOLcats, no email, no flickr, no blogging, no checking the weather in estonia from home for a WHOLE WEEK.

also of note:

• i love lists.
