When I moved last September, I cut out the internet as a cost-saving measure. I don't miss it one bit. I sit at my desk all day long at work, I don't need to go home and sit at a desk some more. Occassionally it's a bit of an inconvenience, and it makes it hard to post pictures (such as this past Saturday when two Blackhawk helicopters landed in the ballpark across the street), but I've learned to live with it. Actually, if I really need to look something up, I can use my phone. The funny thing is, last week I got promoted. The first question everyone asked was "Are you going to get internet now?"

TV's another story (and I'm with you on the Law & Order addiction). But I'm a sports nut, and I need my ESPN. Even if the game's just on in the background while I do something else, I like the company. It's not like I can have a discussion with my cat.
