Ack!

Like I don't pay enough money to Comcast already. The company, followed by all the other leech-like cable companies, is raising its rates by 6 percent next year. Grr. Brian and I were just grumbling about our $177 cable/internet bill last night, and now the bastards are going to raise the rates. Here's the link to the article, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051202/ap_en_tv/cable_tv_rates. This is just not cool. (Before you all flip out, I'll tell you why our bill is so expensive. High-speed internet; one DVR cable box and another regular cable box in the bedroom; HBO and Cinemax; extended channels. B and I love the television.)

Here's a picture of the Obelisk of Buenos Aires, taken yesterday in recognition of World AIDS Day. Wrapped around it is the biggest pink condom ever.
