Technotrauma

Argh! Telecom woes continue, cranked up a notch. For some reason, my iPhone was locked up last night -- the phone stuff worked, but the Net stuff didn't. Not sure if it was solar flares, the labor issues, bad juju, or what, but between my computer being screwy, my cable being screwy, and my phone being screwy, it was like the technotrauma trifecta. Good lord. The phone's back on track, the television's still screwy (some channels no sound, some okay -- I had called Comcast and their robots told me service calls had already been made to the area, but clearly the problems they fixed weren't the problems I was having with my television). At this point, I'm thinking of just axing Comcast and finding another provider, maybe just for Internet. Just because there aren't that many shows I watch on television, anymore, anyway. The boys would miss PBS, of course, but most of those shows are reruns, anyway, and we've got a lot of DVDs that they tend to watch more. Screw it. I'm just tired of Comcast boning things up the way they seem to do so routinely. The only reason I'm on at the moment is because I got my computer running for the moment, using every bit of tech tactics I know. Sheesh.

So, Melanie should win SYTYCD. I think she's a shoe-in. If she doesn't win, I'll be very surprised. We'll see.
