Hi

July 19th, 2005 | Category: Fun

Good morning. Been a weird few weeks here at work. Hopefully it will start to become more normal soon. It looks like it might.

So what’s been going on. Let’s see. Well, the WSOP starts tonight on ESPN. I’m actually really looking forward to watching all the games this year, even though I pretty much know who wins all of them. The main event won’t be aired until like September or something like that. I can’t wait to see some of those hands.

I’m right in the middle of attempting to take the rest of the summer off from poker. I don’t know if I will make it or not, but I’m going to try. That includes online play as well. No poker til September. We’ll see how far I get.

Thursday, we’re getting Wide Open West!! Yea! Fuck Comcast. I’ve had it with their ghetto-ass internet, inability to fix my problem, and shitty customer service. I CAN’T WAIT to call them and cancel. I was supposed to have ANOTHER Comcast guy come out to the house on Saturday. This one was supposed to be a supervisor. A person who has the ability to make decisions like working on the pole, instead of inside the house. The problem we have with the internet is NOT in the house. Yet time after time Comcast sent some technician over to do, basically nothing, to try and fix a problem that doesn’t stem from inside my house. Anyway, Saturday between 9:30-12:30. Well guess who didn’t show up. That pretty much pushed me over the edge. So I called and ordered WOW yesterday.

I’m getting:
Digital Cable with one digital box
HD service with the HD pack(NFLhd, ESPNhd, HDnet, HDnet movies etc.)
One HD DVR box
HBO/Encore
4mb broadband

All for less then we’re paying with Comcast, and we don’t have a DVR either! That’s especially cool because I have Tivo on the big TV, and now I’ll have another DVR on the HDTV. Good times.

This is where I would normally put what’s playing on the iPod. However, I’m not listening to the iPod right now. I’me listening to XM radio over th internet using my buddies account. This is pretty cool shit! Right now, it’s Big Country-In a Big Country on the 80’s channel.
