Mad as hell

Listen folks, I'm angry about a lot of things lately.

I won't torture my fellow animal lovers with any links but because we have recently lost all our furry pets (our turtle Bridget is still going strong) I'm especially prone to do things like go to petfinder.com and visit various animal rescue websites etc. and mostly all they do is make me cry or make me want to murder people for being cruel to animals. Honestly, as anyone who's been reading for a while might know, I hold basically any animal in higher regard than any human being in the general population. If you can't imagine why, here are just a few reasons:

• Dogs being slaughtered in China
• Space Junk
• Guy holds his daughter hostage and makes her bear his children
• Vortex of garbage
• Pit bulls aren't bad dogs
• Mitt Romney is a monster

If you still don't understand my feelings, please leave now and don't come back. Seriously, there is no reason for you to continue here. You and I don't get along and even though I haven't met you, I'm pretty sure I hate you. Eff off.

Sleep deprivation as method for Getting Things Done

1. You might get your turtle tank and filter completely clean, but in the morning you will feel shaky and weak and have to ingest large amounts of sugar ASAP.

2. You are likely to make poor decisions such as wearing your chinos with the tattered hems to work.

3. Around 3pm you will wish you were dead.

Dear DirecTV installation man: please make my dreams come true.

Many are the reasons to hate comcast. Not the least of which is, they are a virtual monopoly. Way back in the day when we lived in Charlestown, the one silver lining to that shitty apartment was that we were allowed to install a satellite dish, and thus we had the glory of DirecTV for almost 2 entire years. Guess what? Despite the fact that things like storms can supposedly affect reception, we got better service with less interruption there than we have ever gotten from cable ever. Ever.

Today I have an installation scheduled for our condo. The guy is due to show up between 4pm and 8pm. I am nervous because I'm not sure where the hell he's going to string the cable to get it into our unit. I'm trying to believe them when they say, "Oh, don't sorry, the cabling guys are great, they know just what to do." I'm trying to ignore the fact that they can't tie into my existing cable line from Comcast because I still need Comcast for internet access, unfortunately. I'm trying to believe.

By 8pm I will either be soooooo happy, or I'll be looking for things to throw and break.
