serynIt's been a weird day. I sewed a rabbit ass.
From a piece of knitted fabric, I seamed and folded until I had the hind end of a rabbit.
Sure enough, my doctor no longer takes my insurance. But they didn't tell me because they didn't know. Now I owe $100 for stuff that should have been free. I'm really angry, or I would be if I was awake enough to care.
My new cable box fails to change channels. Frequently. So about 10-15% of the time, what the TiVo records isn't what it's supposed to be recording. The TiVo people say, "Are you using the serial cable?" I am. "Then there's nothing else we can do." The cable people say, "Well, we sell DVRs, maybe you should get a new one."
I'm not buying a new TiVo because when I started there were no ads, now there are ads plastered on everything everywhere they possibly can. I paid them for my subscription at a price they said was fair. But they changed the deal. So I'm assuredly not giving them any more money. What's the use of having an HD TiVo when it can't record the right fucking channel now? Did they fix that? No? Oh well, then I'm sure spending another $900 is going to make me so much happier to be surrounded by TiVo ads. It was a phenomenal product. Really really amazing. It's lightyears better than any of the other DVRs I've seen. But if something is ad-supported, it should be free subscription. If it's pay $$$$$$ for subscription, then there should be no ads. And the ads should be carefully vetted to avoid being offensive.
I want to go live in a cave. But it has to be wired for internet and electricity and not be gross with guano. Hell. I need to buy the Bat Cave.
