well, i got a flyer on the door yesterday, and it was from mediacom, my cable provider. advertising some new deals. well, i jus had to call and find out what they were doin on the dish buy-back thing. and in the process got hoodwinkd into ordering the #2 package. he came today, and now i finished watching my first movie. the italian job. and it was wonderful. i had to sign a contract for a year tho. so i gotta keep it. which is fine. got 12 ppv tickets. so that's kinda nice. anyway. havent been keepin up much on the politics of things. needed a serious break.
