It has been feeling really dark, really early. Yesterday was bananas, but it was because it started raining at like 2.

ita, I may email you with specific questions of things that were driving me crazy on that thing.

I love when Jesse gets all cryptic.

I am LIVID. I am about to get my FOURTH tivo/DVD recorder in less than a year and Tivo is doing FUCK ALL. They tell me that they can't do anything because Humax, another company, manufactures the machine, all they provide is the service. I said "I didn't buy Humax. I bought a big orange box that said Tivo. Your name is on it. This machine represents your company and I don't understand why you don't care that your company is being maligned by this situation" He said "we care, I just can't do anything. I can offer you a credit on your service to use towards a new tivo" I lost it then and told him that he obviously didn't care, offering me a credit was USELESS, since I'd already been charged for the service, it was even, and I didn't appreciate him trying to act like I was gaining something. And what is $20 going to do for a $300 machine? I asked to escalate past him, he said there was no one. I said "you don't have a boss?" He said yes, but they didn't take calls. I asked for a name so I could write a letter, and he refused to give me anyone's name, just told me to write the address on the website.

Lies he told:

1. "I can't offer you a credit on a new machine because the Tivo is basically free with the rebates"

2. "Pioneer makes Tivos with DVD recorders"

LIVID. Oh, the letter that I will write.

Please do, Jesse. I can crib from you too.

My daytime outdoor goal today was to get my car washed. But when I'm inside, I don't care that it's all dusty.

Who needs daytime outdoor goals anyway? I have evening outdoor goals, and daytime inside ones. Plenty filling day.

Go get 'em, Vortex!

I love when Jesse gets all cryptic.

I figure better that than asking questions that no one cares about. I.e., "I think I'm missing one poker player. Here's who I have." And etc.

My daytime goal is to eventually move from the bedroom to the living room. Big goal, huh?

I just don't remember the sun going down before 5 pm by mid-November. It's so dark!

Dude, after the time change and it started getting dark in Chicago at 4:30pm? I was all OMGWTF APOCALYPSE.

But when I'm inside, I don't care that it's all dusty.

This is why my car only gets washed after a snowstorm. The salt starts getting on my clothes and coming inside.

Well, and it's bad for the car. The salt.

I guess I haven't washed my car once this year! Go Team Grime!

Jesse, I was just poking at you.

I know, Kat, I know.

Michigan is the land of the midnight sun of the east, being all the way on the edge of the time zone like that.
