The Year in Review: Part 2
Moving on to May 2008, again I must refer to emails.

May 2008 )

Strangely, I'm kind of enjoying this. I may come back and add to these entries if I happen to remember anything that I missed.

More tomorrow... maybe.

The Year in Review: Part 1
I suppose April 2008 would be a good place to begin. Unfortunately, I have a memory about as long as my pinky finger, so I have to resort to looking at old emails.

April 2008 )

Apparently, that was it. No wonder I haven't bothered with updates. I don't do anything! ;P

More tomorrow... maybe.

Remember me?

So it seems I have been a real slacker with my LJ. In fact, it's been nearly an entire year since I've posted anything of real substance. I shall rectify this "soon." (For non-CoX players, "soon" refers to an indefinite amount of time between now and when the referenced event happens.)

Until then!

Comcast connection vs. Cox connection
For comparison:





Meh. The difference doesn't appear to be that much. The price increase is still bugging the crap out of me.

Ahhhh...
First shower in four days feels like sunshine. It sucks when you're too tired and sore to bother with taking one.

Still moving/packing/unpacking.

Today's remaining agenda:
1. Go to Comcast and exchange bad HD-DVR (component output not working) for a new one (and it had better have HDMI!)
2. Go to Cox and stop service.
3. Vote.
4. Get the rest of our crap out of the apartment (in this crappy on and off rain) which should only take a couple of hours including drive time (especially with both of our vehicles and the help of one [maybe two] friend's pickup[s]).
5. Profit! (I wish)

Tomorrow:
1. Go to work.
2. Come home and help [info]blackoween clean the apartment.
3. Turn in apartment keys by midnight.
4. Profit!

By the way, drinking hot coffee out of a regular glass sucks. (We forgot the coffee mugs yesterday.)

Going "off the grid"
I hate that expression :P

We're moving back out to my grandmother's place (permanently this time) and so I will be shutting down the PCs and stuff for the move.

See you next week!

Just to see how angry I'm actually going to be...
... next week when I have to switch to Comcast.

Here's a sample of my speed with Cox. I am currently paying $20 less for the Cox "triple play" than I will be for Comcast's "double play" (no phone with Comcast since we're ditching the land line and going cellular-only). The lack of competition out in the county is irritating.

"half-breed Muslin"
Apparently, some old dude in Florida thinks Obama's a "half-breed Muslin."



Idiots shouldn't make signs to point out their stupidity; it's bad enough that they are still allowed to breed.

Blargh
I went to bed Sunday evening with a sore throat. It's been mostly downhill from there. Mostly congestion and sore throat accompanied by fever/chills. Drinking tons of hot tea with honey helps some but only provides temporary relief. Sleeping mostly through the nights with two- to three-hour naps throughout the day. Every time I think that my fever has broken, it comes back (seemingly) stronger than before. Ugh.

What really bugs me is that I can work from home yet I don't feel that I could get anything accomplished so I don't even try. Oh well, at least I have some leave saved up!

I see that half of my f-list is sick as well. I hope y'all are doing better than I am.
