Holy fucking hell.  Cable TV is expensive.  I should've brought my checkbook since I will now need to find the damn ATM machine on campus (seriously, where the fuck is it??????) to pull out $65 just for installation fees.  Granted, $25 of that is just a deposit that'll be returned to me eventually provided I don't break the cable box.  I've also chosen to get Standard cable rather than Basic, so I actually have Comedy Central (The Daily Show and Colbert Report consist of the huge majority of my TV watching), but jesus.  That's also expensive.  $55/month is actually better than I expected awful.

My complaint of the day: So I was just on 112th St at the Duane Reade (I concur with emago, because while I think four blocks is hardly a distance to walk, it's really surprisingly that there's no closer DR, though perhaps there is one if I head north instead of south), and on the way back, my shoe broke.  I found that if I walked like a strutting horse clopping around, the shoe would stay on.

I also now have awful seats to West Side Story (right balcony, fourth row, seat 8 [higher the number, the further from the center]).  Okay, so they're okay seats.  I've had worse and worst.  And it was $10, so I can't even complain.
