Bills Bills Bills

*Sigh* The cost of living alone. Independence is great, don't get me wrong, but as the bills come in each month you realize the cost of independence. Granted, the first month is the worst because you see all the "extras" such as set up fee, initiation fee and whatever fee they can slap on your bill...it's there. My gas bill (what I used) was shy over $30, but the entire bill came out to be $145.......right. The same story goes for my electric bill and phone bill. My water bill was surprisingly very little...$4 - thank goodness for that! I suppose $70 a month for utilities isn't bad...is it?

At the moment, I have a small pile of dishes yet to be washed, the laundry is upstairs on the fourth floor, and I should probably vacuum sometime soon. Luckily, I made enough food for lunch that I can also have it for dinner...I'm so lazy!

So it's hockey season ... eh?

Yea...hockey season has finally started and I'm stuck down south where football is life. I missed the first two Leafs regular season game, but I suppose it's ok as we lost to the Sens (arrghhh) both times. I did however manage to watch the third game against Montreal, which we won it OT. It's coz I watched ;). How did I swing that? I went onto the Sabres site and signed up for Centre Ice free trial...heh. What a great game! Our new goalie seems to be not doing that badly from that game! I then proceeded to download two P2P online streaming programs, the two best ones that I've found are Sopcast, which shows CBC's Hockey Night in Canada (HNIC) and Sports NEt and TVU, which has Versus and maybe Fox Sports.

Now all I need is a t.v and a S-video cable :p

At least I can stream all the American shows online now from the networks now that I am in the States. Who needs cable anyway?! Not me. And besides, I can't even get service because I can't sign up for satellite as they won't serve me because I don't have a credit history - big surprise since I just moved here. Idiots, turning away business for that. Their loss. One less expense to worry about.
