See, I'm still liking that alliteration. Or should that be, "C, I'm still liking that alliteration?" :) Sorry.

I have successfully arranged for Comcast to come and hook me up for cable tv and internet. I called them today, and they're coming out tomorrow! Can you believe it?! I can't. Tomorrow! The hilarious part was they gave me three time-window options: 8-12, 12-4, or 1-3. Um, let me think about that for a minute. Do I want a four hour window at the crack of 8 in the morning, a four hour window in the afternoon, or a two hour window in the afternoon, at the same time. Naturally, not being completely stupid (or needing to be somewhere else in the pm), I went for the two hour window. I'm getting a six-month promotional deal, and after the six months are up, I can downgrade to a lesser package with no change fee (I don't really need all the channels they're giving me, but it's super duper channels and HBO for the same price as the one I'd be getting anyway).

What else? Oh yes, I have a car! Well, I have a car coming in about two weeks. That's the good car news. The bad car news is that Toyota is now adding in an automatic $165 "Security Level 3" package to the Prius' BC package (that's the one with the navigation system). Basically, I have to pay $165 for my car's alarm to go off if somebody breaks my window. My car will sense the vibration of the glass breaking and sound the alarm. Of course, seeing as how I think car alarms are the evil spawn of Satan, I was planning on deactivating mine anyway. So now I just get to pay $165 for something I don't need, don't want, can't use, and will be deactivating. Annoying as all get out, I'll tell ya. But my salesguy Zion said he'll talk to his manager and see if they can work something out about that. I'm hoping for not having to pay for it at all, seeing as how I didn't request it, and it wasn't disclosed before I ordered the car. I'm going to put on some sexy power clothes (too bad it's too hot for my knee-high black boots; maybe I'll go in the evening) and express my dismay directly to the manager if need be. We'll see.

Is that totally horrible that I'm expecting that if I dress in sexy power clothes I'm more likely to get what I want? Is that anti-feminist? Or is it just understanding that the automotive industry is inherently sexist and sexual and working it to my advantage? I don't know. And it might not work anyway. But I figure it's worth a shot. I'm not going to sleep with anybody for a discount on my car, but if I look delicious and it helps me, is that wrong?
