Argh. My sofa is one piece of an Ikea sectional, which is perfect for my tiny apartment, but I'm about to have a way bigger living room, so I thought I could get another piece, and it's discontinued! Sad. Fingers crossed someone is selling one on craigslist.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Check eBay too Jesse, all sorts of discontinued and vintage stuff shows up there.

Yeah, I'll keep an eye out. Craigslist has the benefit of being all local, because my current sofa isn't that great anyway and I am also looking for a new one!

TimeWarner decided not to record two things today, both racing.
I just got rid of TW for tv (still have it for Internet). The Directv installers came on Friday and so far I really like Directv. The DVR isn't resetting, programs are getting recorded (so far) and the remote is far more responsive.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
If I start jonesing, I will look at Directv. I think I can pay to stream and replay NASCAR with driver radios (!!! I love the driver radios) but Formula One is just cable. No other option. Which sucks because I would pay for that happily.
I'm just over TimeWarner. Though I'm keeping their Internet which has actually been nearly flawless.
Random question--when people are catching up on the Daily show and Colbert, do you feel compelled to watch both of them in order, and then move on to the next day's eps, rather than watching them out of order?
I have to watch them in order. Unless TimeWarner didn't record one. Then I move on. But from what I have available, in order.

Once upon a time, Time Warner was in Somerville. And because there were rumors that the city would add a second cable company (they eventually did), the service was surprisingly good. Though in time they swapped out with Comcast, who seems to be kept in line a bit by competition from RCN.
I can only imagine how bad monopolized cable service would be if it only weren't for Dish et al.
ita, my heart goes out for you. It might be a good idea to take short term disability leave from work so that you stay off your feet as much as possible. I'm so very sorry.

Very nice haircut, Shrift!
I'm up to episode 13 of Night Vale. (Do not look at the dog park.) Love it!
Unfortunately, GIF sets from Hannibal are hitting squick points that I didn't even know I had, so I doubt I'll be watching the show. Pity--I usually like Bryan Fuller's stuff.

Hmm, I wonder if I can get a couple of the Night Vale podcasts, inasmuch as I'll have a long drive back to Somerville tomorrow. But I have a wonky Internet connection, so we'll see.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Welcome to Night Vale stuff has been all over one of my friends' tumblrs. Doesn't look to be my taste, but that's what makes a horse race I guess.
