We now have internet at home en force! The DSL arrived on Wednesday and the cable was fixed on Thursday. How's that for a total turnaround, went from no internet to two high speed connections - wahoooo! To our delight we've discovered that cable internet cannot be sent without also sending digital cable. Our new TV has a digital tuner in it so we get digital cable at no extra cost. Discovery HD is my new favorite channel for mental masturbation, I'm leaning all about sharks, the gardens of England, and how skyscrapers are built. I am a whore for useless information - Trivial Pursuit anyone? Anyway, we've decided to keep both the cable and the DSL, we're nuts I know, but we're getting digital HD channels! The way we see it is if one craps out we'll have the other to fall back on (when we don't have internet our moods become very sullen and bitchy) and now our PS3 has it's very own internet connection. Have I told you that we can rationalize just about anything?
In other news, we joined a new gym this weekend. Our current place was becoming a bit boring for us. It's a nice gym, good equipment and all, but we've been there for two years now and wanted a change of scenery. I was really impressed with Gold's when I used the one in San Jose for a week when I was there so I decided to check out the one near us here. Brad and I have had two workouts there so far and we're very pleased. Brad really likes the cardio cinema, which is basically a movie theater with cardio machines in it. I must admit in this summer heat it's nice to be in a cold dark room doing cardio all the while being distracted by a movie. The clientele was a bit skewed this weekend, to our delight though, because there was a bodybuilding competition in town. We saw this guy and this guy. You never realize how massive these guys are until you see them in person, their arms are the size of Brad's torso.
That's all for now. Time to make lunch and play some God Of War for the rest of the day before sushi dinner tonight with a friend.
I may be gay, but those big bodybuilders turn me off. They don't look human.

Wait, wait.....sullen AND bitchy.....like, at the same time??? Not pretty.
And, by the way, where is the link to my pic? I was there too....I swear I was.
Love and sincerely,
Your skinny little friend.

I'm not sure what DSL providers are in Dallas. If you have AT&T, you should know that because of their partnership with Yahoo you get a free Flickr Pro account and now free access to the AT&T WiFi hotspot network. Of course they started offering all this after I switched to cable. Ugh!
Oh, thanks for the Borg comment on my iPhone post. I didn't get the full reference, but most of it. OK weirdness, First Contact just got flipped on and Picard is messing with a Borg. What's the chance?
