I was going to rant and rave about Comcrap and their massive fail that ended with me having no cable or internet at home for probably a couple of days (I went to knitting group Thursday night and didn't get back online until work Friday morning). Apparently they detected a signal leak coming from my apartment and because I am swamped at work with a deadline and enough work that I should probably be there this weekend but am not and therefore I forgot to call them right away to make an appointment that I couldn't have been scheduled until this weekend anyway, they turned off my service. Supposedly I'm going to be credited for a few days, but we'll see. The best part? THERE'S NO LEAK COMING FROM MY CABLE STUFF. Their meters were set off by my television. So no TV or internet FOR NO REASON.

But then I woke up to this:



Which made me all kinds of happy, so I'm a little less cranky.

I just downloaded Dollhouse from iTunes, and I'm downloading Stargate Universe, and part of me wants to send Comcast a bill for the $6.50 or so that it will cost, since their idiocy made me miss my shows. The funny thing is that I've lived near airports for the last ten years or so, and Brighthouse NEVER had a problem with signal leakage. Makes me curious as to what the hell is so wrong with Comcast's equipment that this is apparently a known problem.

I really want to go to Noodle Co and get some macaroni and cheese, but uh...



I still have no ice scraper (tried to buy one last night but Target was out).

Just in case you're not on Facebook or Twitter...

IT'S SNOWING

Or at least it was this morning when I left my house. I'm just a bit excited.

I have been trying and trying to catch up with you all, and being busy at work and having my parents in town is just making this impossible, so I give up. If, in the last few days, you've said anything mind-blowing, earth-shattering, or just really really funny that you think I'd get a kick out of, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm just going to hope that all of you are having fabulous lives, and start over at some point.

Anyway, what's new. My parents are still in town. On Saturday, we drove up to Poudre Canyon and the Great Stupa at Shambhala Mountain. I'm not sure I was liberated upon seeing but maybe I was and just didn't realize. We also went to dinner with myras_girls and her hubby, during which the aforementioned hilarity ensued. On Sunday, we drove up to Rocky Mountain National Park, and there was SNOW. It doesn't count as part of SnowWatch 2009 because it a) wasn't falling and b) was at 12,000 feet instead of right outside my door. We walked around Old Town Fort Collins on Monday and ate at the Silver Grill Cafe. Quite yummy. I took lots of pictures and am in the process of uploading them. I'll be sure to post some here when they're all up.

Yesterday, I went to work, but not before my mother did some slight rearranging in the kitchen EARLY in the morning, meaning I had two minutes of trying to figure out where my electric kettle had gone. They played golf and then she also rearranged my living room. She likes to do these things, what can I say? Oh, and last night, I also showed my dad the episode of Castle from Monday night (because they were watching football on Monday night), and he seemed to greatly enjoy it. Today, the plan was for them to hang around the house while I'm at work, and then we'll probably go to dinner, and then they're leaving tomorrow at the same time I leave for work. This will make them happy, as it's supposed to be rather chilly here tomorrow and they've been giving me grief for sleeping with the windows open. :D

Who wants to fly out here around the end of November to attend the Swell Season at the Ogden in Denver with me? You know you want to... I'm planning to see Vienna Teng on the 21st with Chrysta and Corey, and The Sounds with Sharon (co-worker) and her hubby on Halloween. I will go to the Sounds show by myself if I must, but I'm hoping I can find someone around here who would be willing to go with me (mostly so I wouldn't have to drive back and forth from Denver by myself).

Following up on my last "real" post, I have made a budget for the month of October and if I am able to stick to it, I will come out an eensy-weensy bit ahead. But not much, which is sad, because I would like to be able to put money back into savings. At least I have a plan. Plans are good, yes.
