Moving on up!

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND


So after months of “borrowed” (read: stolen) internet and no television, I am proud to announce that I finally took myself to my friendly neighbourhood electronics store and telecommunications centre and smacked down the cash for a TV and an internet/cable combo. After months of toying with the idea (I rarely watch television and I was getting a decent wireless internet signal from my unsuspecting neighbour(s)- thanks guys!) I finally decided to “go the distance”, primarily motivated by the fact that my pirated internet had become dismayingly spotty and annoying. Also, getting good internet became necessary as Liebling’s recent departure *sniff sniff!* means that we’ll be logging a disgusting amount of hours on Skype/email/MSN.
The idea of also getting a television came about since I discovered that cable would only be about an extra $10 USD a month and having access to news broadcasts would perhaps open up my world scope (and plus, I would be able to keep up with American Idol and Glee, though that, since I generally lose interest in TV shows after one or two episodes, is a moot point).

Anyhoo, I got my cable and internet stuff hooked up a little less than a week ago, and let me tell ya, it’s is a whole new world for me. Brave new world, too. I mean, do you know how liberating it is to be able to use internet ANYWHERE in my flat as opposed to in my bedroom, on the bottom left-hand corner of my bed, where, if I even breathe wrong I lose the wireless signal?!?! I can now surf Facebook and creep all of my friends’ profiles in tranquility and sheer, unadulterated bliss!! Writing work emails on the toilet is no longer an impossibility!!! Too much information, I know. But life has been truly revolutionized.

Not to mention the TV. Of course, knowing that I have never been an avid TV watcher meant that I got the cheapest, tiniest model available. But my 22-inch LCD number is still pretty slick and has become a font of information (just what I wanted as the television’s main purpose of existence is as a news source). Never mind that after anxiously deliberating whether or not to choose CNN over BBC (I ended up taking BBC) that my television seems to be permanently fixed on Starworld (and I am planning on paying extra to get E!). Because, who Kim Kardashian is dating at the moment is also of primary importance, isn’t it? Well… isn’t it? *sheepish grin*
