All the excitement has gone out of my day now that they're not playing anymore.

I miss the Guardian guy already.

Just got the info on COBRA - almost $1700/mo. Holey Moley.

Holey holey holey fucking moley.

Geez, msbelle. yikes.

It does imply, however, that anyone used to cricket has the patience to sit through a multi-day game of some sort

Difference is, though, that this could have ended any time. With cricket, for a lot of it, you know it's not going to end yet, so you only have so much tension.

Even a one day game--you're rooting for it to go one way or another, but you can tick off how close you are to the end. These guys? Always close to the end. Just, you know, not.

I miss the Guardian guy already.

Me too.

I don't begrudge him his rest, except how I totally do. Xan Brooks, my new fake boyfriend. It's a guy, right?

eta: Sheeit, msbelle, that's huge. Much more than twice what I had to pay either time I was on it.

Xan Brooks, my new fake boyfriend. It's a guy, right?

Yep.

Xan Brooks

Here's some helpful advice - don't do this:

NEW PORT RICHEY — A woman who was accused of setting a fire at her office to get off work early pleaded guilty to a lesser charge this week.

Pasco sheriff's investigators said Michelle Perrino, 40, started a fire at Bayonet Point Oxygen on May 12, 2009. Perrino drew suspicion when she mentioned the fire's origin — a filing cabinet — during an employee meeting. Employees had not been told where the fire started.

Sheriff's reports also quoted Perrino's friend, who said she told him she also tripped the main breaker for the office building so it would lose power and adjusted the phones so no calls could come in, all so she would be sent home from work early with pay.

Perrino of 8806 Roseanne Blvd. in New Port Richey pleaded guilty Monday to criminal mischief and was sentenced to nine months in jail, followed by five years of probation. She must also pay $4,800 in restitution and have no contact with Bayonet Point Oxygen or its employees.

msbelle, I think you can probably find coverage for cheaper independently.

I'm basing that on a super fast scan for a made up address near your new place to see how much it would cost to cover you and mac with a low deductible plan (about $800/month for aetna). I don't know how hard it would be for them to accept you though.

Yep.

Whew. I'd hate to have to be bi, what with it not existing, and everything.

We should send Mr. Brooks a fan letter.

hivemind - what would it take to hit 100GB of bandwidth/month. not just aheming a few movies or series, right?
