Time Warner is offering an excellent deal right now in select areas. Not only did I get to upgrade back to cable from DSL for only $10 extra per month on my cable bill (which results in $20 in savings in Internet fees per month), they threw in a free year of Showtime (which is odd considering Time Warner doesn't own Showtime but does own HBO). Pretty awesome, huh?

I haven't had Showtime since years back, and I must say I'm impressed with the programming. I'm getting into Californication, and I also like Penn and Teller's Bullshît even though I disagree strongly with Penn's view of religion. I'm sure Dexter's pretty good, and I'm hearing good things about Weeds. It's unfortunate that HBO can't get Entourage on at the same time with Curb Your Enthusiasm or Big Love. I may cancel HBO after Entourage's season ends until one of the others comes back because I don't have much to watch on HBO otherwise - I'm not a fan of True Blood or Little Britain.

Crap. I really miss Californication. I should take care of that.
Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

Dexter Season 1 and 2 are very good.

I haven't started watching Season 3 yet.

Weeds is an excellent show, and the mom is a total milf.

Yes. She went to my college.

The show is really great. Can't wait for it to start up again.

Wow, I really didn't think I'd like Dexter. It didn't seem to appeal to me. Now I'm digging it big time, and Jimmy Smits is quite good this season.

dexter is an awesome show, season 3 has been pretty good so far but it seems to be picking up. The first season and second season were great.
