Well, it's a whole new era at the Shusei house.
Got set up for cable internet today (not surprising), but also for (wait for it) actual digital cable. Y'know... for TVs. There's even a box. A surly guy even came in, set it up, and took twenty minutes to make the clicker work on my TV.
This is noteworthy because I've spent the past five years without cable.
Not for some weird esoteric reason. It's not like it's clogging my "chi" or something. No concrete effect on my budo or law practices. It's just that I've been on a tight budget, and its easier to make budget cuts on cable than, say, eating. You really don't want to cut into your eating budget unless you have to. Eating is important.
Regardless, finances have improved somewhat since my lean law school days. And since those bold and wild days, I've since taken up co-habitation with a nice woman, two cats, and two chinchillas. Four out of five of those (including all the ones who share my sleeping quarters) are ardent fans of cable.
So cable. "We has."
(Yes, I put scare quotes around my LOLcat speak, to make sure that it isn't confused for my ACTUAL IDIOM. Which does include italics and ALL CAPS.)
That said, this new development does include some things I support. Like NCIS. Every hour on the hour. And Myth Busters, How It's Made, Colbert Report, and... well, the entire sci-fi channel. Every blessed minute of it. God I missed the sci-fi channel. Because in my cosmic hierarchy, science fiction ranks at number seven, which is pretty high. (In case you were wondering 1 - family, 2 - budo, 3 - the constitution, 4 - coffee, 5 - steak, 6 - fantasy.)
More as things develop.

PS - TV has informed me that I have to call Beyonce Knowles "Sasha Fierce". I'm staging an intelligent revolt. I refuse, for the same reason I'd refuse if ANY ONE OF YOU changed your names to "Moons over my hammy". Some shit just isn't dignified.
