The internet went out over the weekend and then Monday night the cable went out as well. I was... totally lost. I am addicted to the internet and I am addicted to television. It's unhealthy, I know.

As horrible as dealing with the cable company always is, I actually really got along with the cable guy who showed up at my apartment today. We seemed to have a lot in common.

Cable Guy: Rock Band, huh? Great game. The drums are too hard for me, though.
Me: Me too.
Cable Guy: I stick with the guitar.
Me: Me too.
Cable Guy: This job is good for me, because I can walk around people's homes and get ideas for stuff I should get. Scope out things I should buy. [picking up video game] You like 'Bioshock'?
Me: Yeah.
Cable Guy: Well I gotta go get it.

He saw the season four Wire set sitting next to my computer.

Cable Guy: You like the Wire?
Me: I love the Wire.
Cable Guy: That's my show. I'm worried about the ending though. You seen the newest one?
Me: I saw the one that aired Sunday, but I haven't seen the next one yet because the OnDemand was out.
Cable Guy: So you saw... [trails off]
Me: Yeah, I saw [big spoilery thing that happened].
Cable Guy: I've seen the one after that. Crazy shit. Things better end good. It's my favorite show.
Me: Things usually end badly.
Cable Guy: I know. Hey, you watch the preview? You see the scenes from the next episode.
Me: Uh.. yeah.
Cable Guy: Who do you think it was that [important character] was shooting? You know what I'm talking about?
Me: I did see that. I have a guess. I wish I hadn't seen it because I think I know what's going to happen.
Cable Guy: Who do you think he's gonna shoot?
Me: Alright... I'm going to say who I think it is. But don't tell me if I'm right or wrong, because I don't want to know yet. And I'm going to look down so I can't read it on your face.
Cable Guy: Okay.
Me: [looking at floor] I think he shoots [other important character].
Cable Guy: Okay.

We were both quiet for a bit.

Cable Guy: Can I tell you if you were right?
Me: No! Don't tell me!
