Woot woot -- I just called the cable company and the gas/electric and they were not that onerous! The key phrase to cancel the cable completely was "I'm moving in with someone who already has service." Because when I opened with, "I want to cancel my service," he came back with, "You want to make some changes?" NO, DUDE. I SAID CANCEL.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse,
I was SO (so, so So) ticked off with Time Warner that not only did I order DirectTV, but since they did not pick up the phone for 1 hr when I called to cancel, I loaded up the DVRs and remotes and took them to the local TWC office and canceled onSITE.
I am thinking this will be my strategy from now on.

Ha! I really hate Time Warner. I've been less cranky with Comcast, even though my actual service has been fairly spotty.

They pay me in WOIMS
There are rumors that Comcast wants to buy out Time Warner, possibly along with Charter.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Because you might as well gather all of the suckitude into one giant ball of suck.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And the thing what was worrying at me today has been put off until...sometime next week. THAT HELPS.
Biofeedback time.
I can't find enough agreement that spelt flour is low-gly to make me comfortable. The chocolate chip cookies don't give me a migraine, so that's good, but I also don't eat a whole one in less than an hour.
I think I will see if I can make chocolate chip oat flour cookies. That is tasty plus tasty.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Dana FTW, because TRUTH.
I remain happy not to have cable. I know it would not be a real option if I lived somewhere that I could not get network reception, but I think I even got network reception in Queens with my TiVo.

I think I have a recipe for those. Want me to look?

No, don't look! Whatever you do, don't throw me into the pile of oaty chocolatey cookies, Steph! Please don't!
OMIGOD, GIMME DEM NOW.
Or, at your convenience, should you not be as digitally obsessive as -t and me. (She does set a high bar, doesn't she?) Thanks.

I am not sure how many of you have seen Kanye's Bound 2 music video with Kim K. It is OVER THE TOP.
Well, James Franco and Seth Rogan have done a shot for shot remake of the video that I really appreciated.
