We don't have cable or satellite TV hooked up in our Tokyo apartment, so you can imagine how happy the boys are right now to be living in a house with Cartoon Network. I think they also appreciate the fact that this place is three blocks from a very nice beach, and that Ocean Grove (our temporary home for the next few weeks) has a pizza shop and two ice cream parlors, but one can't deny the pure joy of Ben 10. Dylan is off the couch right now, dancing to the theme song. Hey, don't judge, the TV is the only reason Terry is still sleeping at 8:45 am.
The kids aren't the only ones getting their American TV fix. Last night I managed to get my MacBook to talk to the cable modem so that we could watch the episodes we've missed of 30 Rock on NBC.com. The site doesn't let you stream video from outside the U.S. (Which reminds me, anybody know how to hide an IP address?)
Of course, we will eventually leave the house and go to the beach and maybe even hit some balls around the tennis court down the street. I might also take a walk over to the Radio Shack, which is in a strip mall just past the town gates, and see about getting a cell phone. I want a burner like the drug dealers in The Wire.
