And So I Leap Into the 20th Century...
Since yesterday, my home has been awash with technology.
First, after 3 years without it, I had cable television installed. And just as I figured we would, Melissa and I spent a great portion of the evening flipping back and forth between things like: old Raymond episodes, a horrible movie on Lifetime, baby shows on Discovery Health, American Idol, Cold Case Files on A&E, some other crime investigation show on Court TV, and the WORST prosperity ministry garbage I HAVE EVER SEEN on the Inspiration(?) Network. A generic gospel choir (repeatedly singing the word, "Yes") accompanied a "pastor" (sorry, I refuse to remember his name) who was urging viewers (and praying to not only Jesus, but viewers as well, it seems) to give $1000 to plant an "uncommon seed" to reap an "uncommon harvest." Unfortunately, this crap is not as "uncommon" as previously thought... No wonder people don't take Christians seriously.
I also had my DSL hooked up yesterday, and it sure lit a fire under the ol' iMac. The installation was a bit skunky, but after 20 minutes -- and help from a nice Middle Eastern tech support expert -- I was wasting the remainder of my free time...with amazing speed.
In other news...
I have now collected FIVE free iTunes bottle caps from Pepsi products over the last two months. I have won about 60% of the time, which is good, because I hate Pepsi and wouldn't be buying their products if they weren't running this promotion. Yes, I'm a sucker.
My in-laws are coming into town on Saturday to visit for a few days, and I think we're going to ask my father-in-law to put down some new tile in -- and maybe even wallpaper -- the bathroom. He loves doing that kinda stuff, and since I don't anything about it, I'll let him have at it...
