I did a speed test and we came up with pathetic numbers: 3.20 mbps download and a sad 0.67 mbps upload. It's not even meeting the standard speed my internet connection is supposed to allow for.
I guess this was fast ten years ago. But with today's wireless gadgets and streaming services galore, this speed is now outdated. So I cracked open my SDCC fund and bought new gear. I told my husband I want this project completed in June. He has concurred.
Oh yeah, we got married two weeks ago and had our first official husband and wife argument today. He said I "rage quitted" because we couldn't play together. I said, "No I didn't!" We then proceeded to argue about upgrading our internet and why we haven't done so. I huffed it up and went to our room.
Half hour later as I stomped to the kitchen, he was making his toasted peanut butter and strawberry jelly sammiches. He offered me one. Fight over.
The twelve years Nate and I have been together, 90% of our fights are like this. Minor quibbles. That's a source of pride for us compared to other marriages we've seen. But I digress.
Motorola SB6121 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Time Warner offers four tiers in their internet service. Standard, which we are on, Turbo, Extreme and Ultimate. In order to take full advantage of their upper level services you need a modem that has DOCSIS 3.0 capabilities. They don't provide the modem to their customers. Which is dumb. But it works out. If you buy your own modem you get rid of that stupid rental fee. This one has good reviews and is on their recommended list. I am hoping for a painless install but nothing ever goes easy with these things. So we'll see when I get the modem.

HALO Liv-a-Littles - It's like crack to my cats. Well to Nodame and Pickles. They literally bat the container in my hand and meow plaintively when they want some. I give this to them sparingly or sprinkled crushed on their food. Dhani and Marley Fat don't care for it.
Fight Club - A great movie! First time I saw it, I was confused but I enjoyed it. Sometimes, movies like these are hard for me to watch so I don't watch it often. But since this is one of Nate's favorites I got it for him.
Prince of Persia - We had high hopes for this movie. We did. Once again, Hollywood disappoints. But not so badly. Nate and I enjoy playing Prince of Persia games. Sure they threw in the game elements here but I don't know. Maybe we were expecting too much.
