Optics via some fibers
So they offered us the Delectations of the Seven Resplendent Sovereigns if we switched from Time Warner to Verizon, plus which, they provide it (TV, Internet & Phone) by shooting friggin lasers out of their crowns or somesuch...how could we resist? To celebrate our decision they came out before schedule (!) and accidentally cut all our wires which meant no TV or Internet for several days. But they made up for it by saying that they were sorry for the inconvenience. Not only that, but at one point the technician allowed that he was, indeed, very sorry. Don't you covet that kind of respect? That kind of deference is awesome. I rule.
Still remain I all pumped about them fiberous opticals that'll be floating around the Chateau d'Undercover now. All our eggs will be in that Verizon basket. Hmmm. 
I fear that, but I also fear the Gordian Knot behind our TV and all the internetz squirming through the Attic Of Unspeakable Wrath & Heat in the nonfiberously optical Chateau d'U. Pretty soon our house will have just an antennae on the roof and everybody will just beam everything we want directly to us and we won't have to go outside or interact with people ever again! Won't that be cool? *hopes & dreamz*
But enough about me. You're the awesome one! You the one got it going on. You rule.
Certainly you're going to have a better weekend than me. I'm going to my nephew's high school graduation. I thought the major advantage of home-schooled nephews was that you didn't have to endure thrashings like pep rallies, banquets and graduations. But no. We get to hear an hours long presentation about how special each home-schooled kid is and what brilliant freakin futures they all have.
Plus which I have to go north of the Red River for the privilege!
I'll be where the wind comes sweeping down the plain, so you're better than me but I will be with better people than you will be at least. I get to drive up there with my parents and my mother's sisters, The Beautified Aunts. That'll be a fun trip, but, O the cost!
When I get back from the gradgeeation, I'm gonna pack up and go to Galveston for some days. That really will be fun.
So, even though you're gonna have a better weekend than me, don't go getting all uppity and braggin bout your high cotton, cause by Monday I'm going to be surfside and you'll still be wherever you are. So there
Love you
AU~out

The beach sounds great, and it should make up for a weekend spent in Oklahoma. Good luck with that!
The Fios rulez - yOyQ actually ix-nayed a house b/c it couldn't get the wondrous fibrous opticals!
O the cost indeed, you really are the good son!
I couldn't read a thing because I had to keep wiping the drool away from my mouth,that food,oh I would be so happy to have that delivered to my house right now!
I want to eat all that food right now. Om nom nom nom nom!
@ErinAdele - I usually trust your judgment because you are so wise.
@settlers_fan - So far, it's great except for the learning a whole nother technology thing. But, so far so good. I'm encouraged by you & E's postive experience.
@seedsower - @Amandasbiggestfan - You're both focusing on my pictorially metaphoric representation of Delectations of the Seven Resplendent Sovereigns. That is my exact wish with this post! There's no reason for either of you to recognize the picture, but it is the inside cover of the great, great, great 1973 ZZ Top album Tres Hombres. When I was 14 or so I would spend hours...HOURS...listening to Jesus Just Left Chicago, La Grange, Waitin' For The Bus, etc. and marvel over that exact picture. In my head, that is exactly what Resplendence and Opulence and Royalty and Everything Glorious looks like!
@all y'all - Thanks for your comments!
I could not remember where I saw that photo before ,I knew it was familiar!
What I love about that picture is how the cheese is just scattered everywhere! They knew that people just love cheese and that cheese is the most excellent of garnishes because it is not only beuatiful when splayed about everything, it also is essential to the Delectations of the Seven Resplendent Sovereigns.
And FIOS. FIOS makes cheese look like FIOS. They are that good and that interchangable.
my parents actually took me to a homeschool high school graduation ceremony as a sort of "preview" to see if i wanted to participate in one when i homeschool gradgiated. i, of course, did not. but i still had to watch one--and i didn't even know anybody there. it's like crashing someone's wedding without the bonus of free cake.
