Wow, what a terrific deal! I was able to get Comcast to drop my cable tv by $30/month just by calling to see if they'd fix my dvr (different problem than the current one)--the rep I was speaking with just offered me the discount out of the blue!

Speaking of my dvr problems, my current one is rather bizarre. It only happens if I'm recording two shows back-to-back on the same channel (for example, TDS and Colbert) and am watching either another channel or a previously-recorded show when the second show starts. For some reason, the dvr won't notice that the second show is playing and record it like it's supposed to (when I pull up the menu, the red dot is on, indicating it should be recording) until I turn the channel over to the show that should be recording. Only at that point will the dvr go, "Oh, that's right, I should be recording this!" and begin recording. That's happened with both Colbert and Rachel Maddow in the past week.

Between that and the fact that the thing won't delete an old ep of SYTYCD, I'm glad they're going to replace it on Sunday. But, I do have to watch/record the rest of the stuff on my queue tomorrow! (I still haven't watched McKellan's King Lear from several months ago.)

The people at Free Republic are now speculating on whether Obama's foreskin might provide a clue was to whether he was actually born in the US. [link]

I suspect you are Criss Angel - Mindfreak!

And that Bon wants you.

Please do report your results, JZ and Sue. I am curious!

Olympic sports I would rock at:

speed hemming
lounging
speed shopping

In other words, I suck and have no useful skills.

Sleep!

Tell Loki that too. He's losing his tiny little mind at the french doors, crying and hanging off the blinds. There WERE cats out there earlier ( came out and one was peering at me from the neighbor's front-door awning/pochy thing, another from his porch set...and he doesn't have cats!) but none now and who knows what his damage is.

I love my neighborhood.

Any buffistas ever use Kidspark or the like? [link]

You're the reason I asked in the first place! Thanks for the tip!

He's wondering where the other cats are!

Katie kravved someone on Thursday at Hockey. In her words:

Some asshat tried to take out my knee and then punched me in the back of the head. Never in 27 years of hockey have I ever dropped my gloves and fought. I think I'd had enough. He wasn't wearing a facemask, and didn't expect my reaction. He really didn't expect to get his ass kicked by a girl. A pudgy middle aged white guy, who figured he could pick on the girl, feel better about himself and she would just take it. Wonder how he will explain why his face looks like it does.

And this is why I thought Krav might not be a great thing for her.
