I'm so sorry you're bored and will cross my fingers for you that the new cable will arrive sooner.
Since your request came last and thus first on my f-list browsing today, you'll get the original. Depending on time I'll later probably just cut and paste from this (though, who knows, I might feel bored, too, and get inventive).
I live in Germany, in a very old town called Goslar. Nobody I ever tell about it knows it but from the hordes of tourists we get every year and the fact that someone at UNESCO once found our old (and really very pretty, even if I do say so myself) town center worthy of being marked a "world cultural heritage", I suppose it's not that unheard of. We have crooked little streets, lined by crooked little half-timbered houses, some panelled with slate, some with wood, some of which are so small I wouldn't move in there even if I were just by myself, let alone had a husband or family, which I suppose the people who built them 500+ years ago had. Parking is a bitch of course, but that's why I live in walking distance from the town center on a foothill of the Harz (mid-height mountain range somewhere in the middle of Germany, south of Hannover) which is (very originally) called "stone mountain" (Steinberg). And (apart from the medival, pretty town center) the Harz, with its wooded, old mountains, national park, more little lakes than I can count and great mountain biking and trekking routes is really what I like best about my home (that's only been my home now for a little more than four years.)

Turns out I had some more to tell at L.'s and Bev.'s journals. Here are the links in case you're interested:
