So I finally took the leap into the 21st century last night and happily watched as Mark the Cable Guy installed an HD DVR box and 6mbit/FiOS wireless modem in my humble abode. While I slowly took chugs from a bottle of Yuengling (didn't even have to look up the spelling... sad haha), Mark was hard at work, trying to decipher how the cable box would mate with my HD Wega tv. He then commented on the Kate Moss prints on my wall and after I told him the story, he got up, walked over to the topless 4x6' photo on the wall and proceeded to tweak her nipple.

What the fuck? I mean ok, I'm drinking and cussing in your presence which, I guess gives off the air of casualness but for fucks sake man, don't tweak my art's titties right in front of me! I laugh it off. Mark told of how he was laid off from a 6 figure IT job and has been installing cable for the past 9 months. Wow. Sucks for you. He then told me how HD quality will allow me to see every "bead of sweat on a pornstars ass". Um, ok. Thanks.

So, overlooking the fact that my cable guy had the social graces of a Level 12 Dungeon Master, he then hooked up my int0rweb which is now a gazillion times faster thank christ. It's almost as fast as the speeds I was getting when working for the Discovery Channel. I see my MP3 collection growing exponentially in the future.

I was flipping through channels just to see how everything looked and happened upon the show OC right when it was ending. I have never watched this show but the thing that caught my ear while shuffling the channels was that Bloc Party was playing in the final teary-eyed scene of the show. What the fuck? I am going to sound just like every other music snob out there but I hate it when a very popular and mainstream show uses music that I care very much for. I am quite happy that my favourite band is making it big and is getting a lot of exposure but it still kind of sucks that it's not my little secret anymore. Oh well.

The night went fine, I ate very little, saw my friend who's car will soon be the fastest VW on the east coast once again and then came home. I have had the worst sleeping patterns lately and of course, I wasn't sleepy so what did I do at midnight? I watched a show about bugs on PBS HD for three straight hours in the dark. I am never going to leave the house again. I didn't even care what I was watching just as long as it was in HD. This is sad and I guarantee I will be a TV snob in 3 months or less. I even started to price out widescreen tv's which I have no business whatsoever buying =)

And lastly, tomorrow I will be picking up (crosses fingers) a 1971 Porsche 914. I met a guy on the net who races these cars and is getting rid of one so I am trading him a pile of my shit for it. No money exchanged at all which is the beautiful part. I love the barter and trade method. It is so much better than cash. My entire car was built by trading for pieces and then waiting for the perfect opportunity to trade up for better parts. So anyways, it's cool because it was my moms first car. If everything works out, I may even paint it the same colour green her's was. I don't want to think too far ahead with thoughts because shit always falls through but we shall see.
