Wednesday
Midweek. And all is well.

I should get some more packing done. I really should. But I’m feeling reeeeeally lazy. If the Olympics had a lazy competition, I’d take the gold. If someone brought it to me.

I got a call from the Sprint Broadband installer yesterday. He said that they could do the installation at the house on Thursday. GREAT! I asked him about uninstalling the antenna from the apartment. *silence* (Just for the record: Hearing nothing from the other side of the phone… not a good sign.) He said that he’d have to get back to me about whether they could do both on Thursday. If not, they could uninstall the antenna on Friday, as scheduled… and possibly install it at the house next Friday. *sigh* At this point, I was considering Comcast as a viable option. He called today: They are removing the antenna between 8:30 and 9:00 tomorrow morning and doing the new installation immediately after.

Stray Toasters

  • Thank you to everyone for your well wishes yesterday. They meant a lot to both of us.
  • I had random scenes from Stripes (1, 2) running through my head this afternoon.
  • Pop Quiz, asshole! What do you do?
    (I just quoted something from Speed. Kill me now.)

  • Halle Berry turned down the role of Annie, portrayed by Sandra Bullock, in Speed.
  • I looked at and realized that reminds me of a young Hugh Jackman.
  • Neither Hugh Jackman nor were up for roles in Speed.
  • Superheroes and a Maxim knock-off. A match made in… umm… somewhere.
  • First Wonder Woman kicked his ass, now it looks like the Scarecrow is getting in on the action. Some days nights, it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed.
  • I [heart] Law & Order. An former Nazi Trooper is under suspicion for murder. During the investigation, the NYPD discovered a link between the suspect and a white supremacist music label. The ADA asks the precinct lieutenant to send a couple of officers to visit the producer of the label.

    A.D.A. Southerlyn: Send Briscoe and Green to pay Mellers a visit.
    Lt. Van Buren: Briscoe and Green… That ought to push his buttons.”

    For those who don’t watch the show: Det. Briscoe is half-Jewish, Det. Green is African-American.

  • For : Joss Whedon rewrote the script for Speed, uncredited.
  • Tank!
  • I’ve heard it said that jazz fans typically aren’t blues fans. *shrug* I like both.

I should stop being lazy now.
Really, I should.
But it feels good.
Oh, well…

Namaste.
