Cable Saved My Addiction

Finally got Cable TV and broadband Internet from JCom(Japanese). Similar service as Oceanic+Road Runner in Hawaii. Good and bad .. the good is that my Internet connection is 8MB down/2MB up .. the bad is the number of channels available. At least I won't be lagging too bad when I snipe you in SOCOM ;) But, I miss the Food Network(Emeril, Iron Chef[but we're in Japan,  .. ahh Morimoto-san]), HBO(all the specials .. Live from Baghdad), MTV(MTV, MTV2, VH1), and most of all G4.

I don't have wireless from the Airport basestation, no PS2 w/ SOCOM online, and no 300 digital channels, but at least finally got me a BROADBAND 8MB connection and some English TV content. I realized how dependent or hooked I am on being connected .. living without an Internet connection for over a month stressed me out. Also, watching Japanese shows was not doing it for me. It's fun for the first couple of weeks .. but after that it seems like they're all the same.
