So...the Flash does not actually flash anyone. WTF?!?

Last night at the shelter, I finished reading the book My Ishmael which is one of those books that makes one want to go live on an island with 30 hand picked people. Of course, I have a great attachment to my material things, and am not quite certain how the communal lifestyle would fit me. I do feel a lot of impatience and annoyance with other human beings much of the time.

My knee went out on me yesterday. It basically hurts from the ankle to the knee and a bit past. I look kind of foolish limping around, but I think if I just keep walking on it, I will work thru the pain. Usually, I'm not an advocate of working thru anything, much less pain. But in this case, I suspect that my leg's unwiliingness to do it's job stems from my unwillingness to excersize it properly. So I have only myself to blame. In related news, I am down another 3 pounds...slow and steady wins the race and all that. I'll be spending time off my feet working on character sheets for my screenplay and NaNoWriMo.

We have a new navigator for Comcast digital cable. It's fairly easy to use, and appears to have some new features i'll never bother to learn. The funny part is, the tutorial is still for the old system. So i call and I'm like "hey, you changed my system all around but there is no new tutorial for it?!?" and they are all like "Yes ma'am (which I hate being called ma'am) we don't have the new tutorial up yet. It won't be up for a few weeks. And I'm like "hey, isn't it kind of stupid to change the whole system and not tell anyone how to use it." and the lady was all..."I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time." To which I have to wonder--why bother making a tutorial at all if we're going to know the new system by the time it's ready. The answer: "well, its primarily for new users". Yeah...fuck all you loyal customers, we're only concerned with people who are paying those fly-introductory prices. And that is reason 908 why Comcast sucks and if I had any will power at all, I'd boycott them. Of course, that's the same thing i say about FOX.

I'm going to be very bored and lonesome for the next few days. So you local types should be calling, visiting, and inviting me to do stuff.
The person who invites me to the coolest thing will have the honor of my attendance at said thing. LOL

Oh, and I made a chain stitch that looks just like the one in the book.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah!!!

now that i know you're injured, i feel REALLY bad i can't come hang out with you!

i'm sure there's some kind of cheap innuendo in there about "taking care of you", but i'm kind of tired (and queasy.. remind me not to attempt drinking beer anymore).

[identity profile] derekfz.livejournal.com 2004-10-21 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah. i legitimately have no idea what i was thinking. it's further explained in my last journal entry.

i guess i'm going to bed. in a bit of a weird mood. eh.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYY! Congratz on the chain stitch :D

I made chocolate chip cookies that don't hurt my lack-of-molar! We're the bestest!

Sweet.

Congrats on losing three pounds! Yay for you! :) Sometimes, it's not good to walk through pain. If it's just stiff and needs stretched that's one thing but I hope it's not sprained or anything - it doesn't sound like it is. I wonder what you did to it? I don't know what kind of exercise you do - I hope you don't out-do yourself! That can do more harm than good. I did that carrying boxes back up to the attic. There were 24 of them, loaded with tax information dated back to the seventies. Darn my dad for being a pack-rat. (OK, I'll shut up now)

Congrats on making a chain stitch that looks just like the one in the book! yay! Um... I had a man tell me I wrapped his stump (that's what he calls it - it was his left lower extremity) better than anyone had and I had another person tell me their mouth never felt so clean after I brushed their teeth. We're BOTH accomplished. :)

Comcast sucks for the reasons you've listed and because my asshole ex Milo works for them. I think you've never had the misfortune of meeting him but you've probably heard about him from P.

I shouldn't drink before posting entries but my dad's vodka was sitting there and they're in Columbus so... oh well. It was only five shots anyway :)

See, that's what sucks. We are gonna visit you on Saturday and the kids are gonna hang out and we'll eat lunch, and we'll set up the computer, but we never have the opportunity to party with you. If it was possible I would recommend that [livejournal.com profile] wednes come with us down there to party, but I'm not sure she can handle much more of me.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-10-22 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ha, funny.

If I can do retail work, I can handle some quality Nate time.
Besides, I'm dying to get out of the house.

Well if you want to go all it takes is being ready to leave by 10-10:30 on Saturday. But we are going to have the kids with us.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-10-22 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm...I think realistically I won't want to do that. But I appreciate the offer. Feel free to come over when you get back, or maybe Sunday. Whichever.

[identity profile] nate101000.livejournal.com 2004-10-22 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"But I appreciate the offer."
Don't appreciate it too much, I only offered because I knew you would say 'no'.

Well Sunday I will be trying to make banana creme pie again. So you should convince P to drive your ass to us.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-10-22 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha, good one!

I do need to get in touch with C and P anyway...

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-10-22 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
Ha.

Yes, I have me the infamous Milo.

*shudder*

Gosh I hope your knee gets better! I did that once- it sucked! I think I just kind of popped it back in place a few days later though.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-10-22 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to talk to the doc about it when I go on tues. Maybe get some pain killers out of it.

Does it still have GIGANTIC ADS that take up most of the screen when you try and use the menu?

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-10-22 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
No, happily it doesn't.

[identity profile] sudrin.livejournal.com 2004-10-22 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well, thats good.. I was very cross with them. I called to complain and they told me that they couldn't help me and that I had to call another number, which they gave me. That number of course, was disconnected

I do feel a lot of impatience and annoyance with other human beings much of the time.

People looked at me kind of confused the other day when I said i think the worlds population needs to drop by about half. I said "three and a half billion shoud do it." Not like genocide. But like another ice age or other natural disasters. I think it would make a better civilization.


[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2004-10-22 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed.
