I watched the spelling bee with the closed captioning on, and not only did the closed captioning insert the word "word" so one didn't know how to spell it, but it covered up the little bar where ABC put the word up.

I imagine that this would not have been an exciting show for the deaf and hard-of hearing watching with closed captioning, however, as they wouldn't know what word was being spelled.

Remember Evil Jonathan from TAR? Well he and his lovely wife are on Fear Factor and check out the the featured clip on the nbc website.

Hee. The spelling bee watch-n-post was highly amusing.

Today it hasn't quite hit 70 yet, which would bode well for the day's heat, if it wasn't bright and sunshining.

SA!

Hi.

Cloudy, drizzly and low 60s today right now in Boston (Salem). Sadly it took forever to get here, and didn't seem to have any breeze with the rain last night. Good for leaving windows open; bad for actually cooling down an apartment. Got maybe 2-3 hours sleep, and not in a row. I really don't even want to break out a fan yet, let alond the AC unit.

Meh, I says.

Oh and a Reality News Online interview with Stephen from Top Chef.

You're still going to be my lawyer, when I'm up on assault charges for popping him square in the nose (with malice aforethought) on his 25th birthday, though. Right? Right?

I am not licensed in your state and so canna represent you in a criminal matter in its courts. But if you can get the matter transferred to Buffistas!Court then sure. I'm thinking you won't have too much trouble there -- you'll know the jurors and the judge.

Good LORD.

So this morning I marched over to the office and maintenance manager did not know that no one had been to my apartment. She then scrambled back to the office to get someone, and I had a nice chat with Bob, the crew supervisor about honesty and communication and how he was understaffed. He told me straight up that they were running into all sorts of complications that kept pushing the schedule back. I said that was fine, I just needed to be told that and not be given bad or misleading info. He agreed. I now have his card. Manager came back with a nice man named Walter in tow. Today is Walter's first day of employment at the complex. He returned with me to the apartment, talked to Mister Kitty and I left him there. He said it looks like it just needs recharging, but he was going to check everything else out as well (it had been having issues with the compressor not shutting off.) Worst case scenario is I end up with a stupid unit hogging my balcony.

Next week, I'll be calling corporate in New Jersey and give them some feedback (also in prep for submitting this month's electric bill to them. And in case any of the rest of the summer's usage is out of whack.)

So. Maybe this is done.

Ahrg.

Thunderstorm last night was AWESOME. More, please.

Lee! Hi! How does the office moving go?
