Boo-blog Breaking News: Amid public fears of sluggish operations, "we have no plans to cease at any point in the forseeable future," say Wonders
Well knock me over with a noodle. Not only did the State-run cable company say they would come to install today, but they said they would come this morning, and then they freakin' came. And it works. Did I mention the cable company is State-run? And this is Turkey? In case that doesn't make an impression, let me just say that Turkey's bureaucracy out-Soviets even the Soviets, and there are people who applied for cable in 1993 who are still waiting for the guys to show up. Waiting for the cable guy from even privately-owned consumer-driven U.S. companies can drive one to near insanity, so this development in the Republic's service is downright mindblowing. I don't think I've ever been so happy to hear British accents. Girl-E and The Dude are so flummoxed with glee that they are intently watching a Roxette video just because they can. I have a feeling Girl-E's impressive book consumption streak is about to come to an end. Granted, the English-language options are still limited to news, videos, and Ally McBeal reruns, but I can't think of anything else one might need to watch during wartime.
Excuse me while I go watch a hilarious montage in which clips of Bush and Blair are edited into a duet of "My Endless Love". What will the geniuses in TV Land think of next.
