Heya all,
So my big "Thppt Cox" day was a bust, :/
Turns out I cannot get Direct TV, too many tall trees in my backyard.
(Another reason for them to die!)
There was a conflict of information regarding availability of Uverse in my neighborhood. So the tech left and might return if it all works out. Good news, I can get Uverse in my hood, so I CAN get my tv/interwebs/phone thru ATT.
Sadly, the change in order puts my 'no equipment rental fees' and other bonuses out the window, as they did away with that offer this weekend. And the prices are different. SO I'm not saving nearly as much as I was going to. :(
Sigh, Time to call LUS for a price check. :P
How is everyone doing? :D

Right now I'm managing my expectations that this Christmas won't entirely suck...but considering both my brothers won't be here for Christmas Eve nor here when we (my mom and I) awake Christmas day...it will just show me that 2017 is a sucky year.
But at least I won't have to worry about how many presents I have to buy! :P

Cal- Lol, I keep telling the police at the random checkpoints (particularly around holidays and ball games) "I'm strictly an over the counter guy. I can't afford the good stuff!" ;)
BP- Wazzup BP?! :)
Mmm, Blue turkey and stuffing, <Homer Simpson Drooling sounds>
Happy end of week everyone!
Or as I call it, 'Another workday with no respect for whether or not the university is closed or not' ;P

I hope there are at least plans to join in the celebratory overeating this Thanksgiving? Hopefully with friends and family! :)
I, personally, plan to break my diet so hard that it squeals like a pig and begs for mercy! ;D
Even my doctor says, "You can cheat at Thanksgiving, you can cheat at Christmas. You just can't cheat from Thanksgiving THROUGH Christmas!"
O_o

I’m passing the time at a TGI Friday’s bar. There is an older lady sitting next to me who is super drunk and talking everybody’s ear off. I have to practice my best surly expression to avoid her messy small talk. I’m aiming for somewhere in between, “I’m pissed at the world” and “I just got out of prison.”

The people she is talking to just left the anime convention. I think Freehold was there! If he was here now, he could tell this drunk lady more than she ever wanted to know.
it was quite tame by convention standards. Truth be told I think the wilder days may be behind us all, but still. Met the cast of sailormoon crystal, got their autograph.

But we can cheat from Christmas through Thanksgiving? Good to know.

Vizzel familiar.
Descendants of my old, and widely loved character. Yes, I played a familiar in D&D game. The party liked me more than my wizard. Him having Charisma of 4 didn't help much, though I prefer to think it was my awesomeness that made them love me. And feed me. And pet me...

Ragadolf |

That's hysterical Drejk. :)
I think I read in a Dragon mag article about how one Wiz PC died, and without missing a beat, the player had the familiar reveal to the party that the familiar was the wizard the entire time. The human everyone thought was the wiz was really the tiny creatures familiar the whole time.

Wowsers, That IS sweet!
before i have ATT replace my Cox tomorrow (After the last epic fail attempt) I'm going to call LUS (Local Fiber service)
the lowest LUS provides at a reasonable cost is 60Mbps up and down.
Far better than ATT's 25, (in my neighborhood, seems the competitor is right, they dont have the same speeds everywhere yet)
which as much as I dislike Cox, at least they had me with 30/10Mbps (sometimes less)
Enjoy your glorious WiFi! Let the internet tremble in fear!
THE MONKEY IS BACK!!!! ;)

You would think being stuck in a house that sits on 2 ares with a lake view would be pretty nice...especially since you don't have to walk dogs...but honestly I feel a tad...lonely. Probably because I have no cable and DirectTV stuff is limited. So...yeah.
Plus side, I did start binging some of The Punisher.
