Oh dammit.

I was all set in my new decision to hate ER and not watch it anymore. But due to inertia, we started watching it tonight (in fact, we also watched Just Shoot Me -- which we never do -- due to the aforementioned inertia) and it turned out to be a well-written, insightful, funny, dramatic, moving, and all-around good episode. They made me care about this new core of central characters (now that all of the old ones have left). Bastards. I was looking forward to having that hour back ;)

Then the commercial advertising the upcoming weeks just came on and it was more over-the-top crap. But NBC has always done that with their coming attractions ads. Remember all the Enya in the Friends ads? I mean, Enya with Friends? What planet are they from?  11:01:07 PM

Well, our cable is finally back after 48+ hours. The problem? We were disconnected at the local junction box. The reason? The tech didn't know. He figures it was a mistake. They disconnected the wrong people. What pisses me off is that the people I spoke to at Cox had no idea what was wrong. They were not aware that any disconnections had been performed at my or other nearby addresses. Shouldn't they know that kind of thing? Pretty lousy service. In the week we've had cable it's been down nearly 3 days. Not great uptime.

I don't suppose anyone has a copy of this week's west wing I can borrow...  2:04:43 PM
