Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

I don't really watch or read news any more, except by happenstance. I do listen to NPR for the ten minutes I drive to and from work, but I often as not tune that out and think about something else. And yet, I don't feel like I don't know what's going on, somehow.

Yeah, I still get my internet through Xfinity (they have successfully converted me about what to call them - I always got Comcast and Cox confused but Xfinity I can remember is the one I have now). Which is why I got a visit from one of their guys wanting to upgrade my service. Nope!

Around here, Xfinity is Comcast.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh, I was gonna make a Ben and Glory joke but changed my mind,

See, it works because they're evil.

I still have cable, though I'd love to cut it. I don't see what canceling the TiVo subscription has to do with a land line though? Mine is hooked up to Ethernet, but before that I had a wireless adapter.

I have an interview in about 90 minutes. I'm slowly doing some prep work. I've got a handful of questions to ask. I've got my story for why I'm interested in the role. I think I've got a story about a weakness down.

I had an ancient TiVo that updated via land line.

We haven't had cable for ... 8 years? Something like that. The only reason I miss it is because I want to be able to watch Penny Dreadful as it airs.

I think I went to VOIP before I stopped using the TiVo.

Oh, come on Yelp. Not one of the "Best Restaurants in Suisun City" is actually in Suisun. That's not right.

ETA: y'all want to tell me where to go for lunch? I've got Italian, Greek, Thai, several Mexican options, a couple of diners and a couple of Bar & Grills.
