Mar. 6th, 2006 03:28 pmIts bad enough that there are no Sonics in Maryland, but having them show commercials with big ol' Cherry Limeades is just plain torture.
1) Martha's apprentice makes me realize how much I dislike The Donald.
2) Lost: OMG! OMG!!!

In related TV news, our frusturation with the crapola Millennium Cable is hitting an alltime high. Problem is that on nearly every HD broadcast, the sound drops out occasionally. Its REALLY bad on live sports (football). A tech came out yesterday and readjusted our splitter and basically told me that either our internet or our HD will suck, as we have internet, HD, and one non-hd box that is pulling off of the same line..not THAT unusual. Methinks that the cable company is undersized and not able to upgrade to keep up with techonology.
We are one of the very few neighborhoods that doesn't have Comcast, which is odd because the new development RIGHT BEHIND US has Comcast. I have and am continuing to beg them to consider expanding into our neighborhood. Literally BEGGING the planning dept., but they keep saying "we don't have plans to expand into your neighborhood" WTF?? We don't have on-demand, just recently got a dvr (and only with one tuner) and the HD channel selection sucks - networks, ESPN, HBO and SHO. No Discovery, no PBS. I'm willing to be coughing up $150 a month (as will several other neighbors who I've griped to recently) - an increase of $35-40 a month!!

Sep. 2nd, 2005 02:20 pmMost of my building just emptied out because of the rumor that's flying around "they're closing the gas stations in baltimore at 4:00"
what fucking bullshit kind of rumor is that? Its this kind of rumor/reaction that's CAUSING the long lines.
Unless you're in one of those immediatly hit areas, or you happen to be on E, you don't need to fill up your car. Just don't drive around aimlessly and I'm SURE you'll be just fine until next week.
Oho, and if would decide to take the bus/train/light rail that's FREE to us, and drops off RIGHT in front of our building instead of driving 20 miles each way, maybe you wouldn't be so freaked out!!!
idiots!!
