An Isolated Week-End

I hate to admit it...but I've become very

'dependent'

on Time Warner Cable.

I get my TV and my Internet through them.

And...I spent an entire week-end 

cursing this dependency.

I was doing my 'usual' Saturday things...

reading my favorite blogs...

updating Facebook and

Twitter...

and all of the things I usually do every

Saturday...

while also putting sale prices in the items

in my Rustic Goth Etsy Shop.

(something I don't usually do on Saturdays...)

when suddenly I lost my cable TV

and Internet.

When I finally called TWC...I was told

there were 10 homes in my area

who were experiencing an 'outage'...

but since it was ONLY 10 of 90, they'd send someone

out on Monday.

"SERIOUSLY...since there's only 10 homes...we

have to wait until Monday???

Do you realize it's the LOST Series Finale on Sunday?!!!"

Too bad...so sad...

despite a couple more calls....I was told

they don't 

work week-ends...

so

here it is...early Monday afternoon and I am

only JUST back online!

Talk about feeling isolated....I've never

watched so many movies over the course

of a single week-end in my life!!

I watched 6 movies and

the 4 1/2 hour Lost Series Finale...

(I got my son-in-law to record it on VHS for me.)

So...when the cable guy came out today..
he also found that the wind
knocked the cable loose at my home as well.
He had a weird little smile when he told me...
'you know it's really windy out again today'.

Anyway...

now I have a crapton of

catching up to do!
