A whole new connectivity experience

My home is now more connected to the outside world that it has been in any point in my life. As of 2 days ago my apartment has a landline (first time in almost 4 years), satellite TV (first time ever) and 1 megabit internet (fastest. internet. ever...).
Its all just wonderful, and feels kind of like I've finally joined that normal world that everyone else with normal apartments has been living in while i've been dodgying it up in random places.....
Best thing about the satellite is getting Al Jazeera English - totally the kind of 24 news that I want to see - it sounds cliche but it really is global in a way that no other TV news I have seen is. The headlines just now on the 12:30 news were breaking stories from the Phillipines, Russia, Israel, Afghanistan and Liberia. I'm all about it - theres even a frigging cricket story on right now!
Even the landline is cool. I don't know why, but it's cool. What do you use a landline for again?

landlines are a great place for voicemails from parents to get lost.
