The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

We officially have Internet!

April 22, 2009 by Lesley Tellez

NBA Basketball via the InternetI know sometimes I go wild with the exclamation points, but this time they’re needed. Came home last night to find hubby watching the Dallas Mavericks’ game on TV. Streamed via the Internet. DUDE! It’s here, it’s here!

He was giddy because he finally got to watch NBA basketball, and I was giddy because this meant no more daily Starbucks trips. So I had another glass of wine, snapped the slightly off-kilter photo above and then posted on my Facebook page: “DUDE WE HAVE INTERNET!”

I think I yelled at the universe too loudly. We woke up this morning without water. It ran out while Crayton was in the shower.

Oh well.

No word on a pipa yet, but I’m sure everything will fix itself somehow. I really don’t care much to be honest. I’ve been googling all day. I’m tired and thirsty and hungry — and I haven’t showered yet (sorry Mom… and Crayton) — but I can’t quit now. There is still more googling to be done. It may even last through dinner time.

Tomorrow I’ll try harder to join the real world.

    For posterity’s sake – the Mavs didn’t play last night. Was watching Portland-Houston. But still.

    How do you hook up your internet to your TV?

    The short answer: DVI-to-HDMI. Or to put it another way – use a cable to make your TV a big computer monitor. Oh, and wireless keyboard and mouse are helpful.
