internet withdrawal
I went ahead and cancelled my AT&T service. They don't offer Uverse in my area so I figured I'd just switch to another provider where I could get tv and internet. Comcast, of course, isn't offered in my area so I was stuck with Brighthouse. It's more than I want to spend, so I may end up cancelling the cable at some point, but we shall see. I may enjoy getting AMC, TLC, and Sci-Fi (Syfy?) a little too much once I get my hands on them. It opens my world up to a ton of cable shows that I've stayed away from because I was too lazy to download. PLUS, waaaaaaaay faster internet.
Anyway, they are coming on Saturday morning to install everything. I'm looking forward to it. I get the shakes when I can't have my email open 24/7.
My neighbor came over yesterday. Turns out she only lived there about 8 days out of the month as she spends the majority of her time at her boyfriends house across town. At that point, why not just move in together and save yourself the rent and bills? I don't understand. But that works out nicely for me since it will be nice at quiet. I dig.
She seems very friendly, if a little hyperactive, which on a 29 year old was a little odd. But nice and excitable is better than creepy and sullen. So I think it's a win for the most part.
Turns out that my landlord just recently bought the place from some guy. I'm hoping that's why NONE of the electrical has been upgraded. Holly said she can't plug her blow dryer in the front room without blowing a fuse. My main issue is the lack of three-pronged outlets. I had to buy a bunch of converters from the hardware store just so I could plug my crap in. The outlets are old and loose, so, yay fire hazard.
Lost was a stupid recap episode last night, so I took the opportunity to NOT unpack and instead finish Love Shuffle. The magic definitely wore off for me with that show. It was a struggle to make it through the last half because honestly I didn't care. I truly enjoyed half the cast and thought the characters were interesting, but the plot felt very slapdash. I appreciated the funny moments, but any attempt at drama left me feeling very 'eh' about the whole thing. It felt like something integral was missing. It lacked heart which is too made because the cast was totally capable of making it awesome if they'd been given better material. But now it is off my plate, so yay!
Once I get my internet this weekend I'll be able to get the last three episodes of Tiger & Dragon (FAR SUPERIOR, OMG) and finish that.
Looks like Liar Game is getting a second season AND movie. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I enjoyed the series but thought the finale was incredibly dull. So I'm not sure how successful another stretch on the storyline will work. Can I put in a request for more focus on the Nao/Akiyama relationship? At least a GLIMPSE of something more? It would be a nice break from me trying to figure out all the puzzles.
...I need to cap the last episode of EoF. I haven't forgotten, I promise!
