Well I finally had to buckle down to get internet service. My "local unsecured provider" is no longer in service and with the university's wireless service being less than reliable consistently, I've decided that it is about time that I acquire a dedicated service for myself. It will be provided by the forever awesome cable internet service provider, Cox Communications. I was a little hesitant to purchase service with them, but considering the fact that I would have little savings through Qwest's DSL service, plus Cox being faster, Cox it was. They should be coming on Saturday to hook it up and I may even get the cable modem and router I ordered by Friday (Monday at the latest), so granted that there are no hiccups, I should have "blazing fast" internet service soon.

Oh, I forgot to mention the extra perk at no extra charge Cox will provide for me, basic cable! Now I get access to all my favorite network channels with the quality of analog cable plus I will have access to such other great channels such as the QVC and HSN shopping networks, C-Span and C-Span 2 and over six public access television channels!

Well, I suppose that I had to face the music eventually that I could not get a free ride. Since I am not on the friendliest terms with my neighbors, who are now leaving garbage in my back yard, I thought it was best that I did not broach the subject of accessing their wireless network, thus leaving the only option to get my own. My hope is that they will move out after the semseter with their replacements being much less of the uberparty types and hopefully willing to split some costs. If the price is right, I may consider getting expanded basic, but I think I will save the money for other necessities.

Well I am back in Minnesota after traveling up to the frigid North for Dan and Tanya's wedding. It was pretty awesome and had a great time hanging out with friends and family. Not to mention the best part, no cavities! That's right, my dentist visit was completely clean, they were even amazed about how little plaque buildup I had after nearly five years of no checkups . Anyways, click the title above or here to access the photos. If you want to download all the files in a zip file, click here. Anyways, I know it is late, but that is certainly better than not getting these photos posted.

P.S. The top searches that attracted people to my website this month are: "rasheed wallace" with 42 hits and "b5 boy band" with 21 hits with Bette Midler coming in third and Pat Robertson not being far behind . Not good news because they are probably not returning customers, but it could be worse. On a positive note, the search for "Gaymont Yogurt" is still pulling in people month after month. I think it is time to do some more yogurt reviews.
