i went off on a tirade on monday (see empty post below) and then thought better of it and took it off-line. suffice it to say, it had to do with the moronic events of sunday afternoon which had nothing to do with football, and the "media" force-feeding us pop-culture (among other things) that we don't necessarily want beemed into our living rooms. we have children...we would like some warning. i'm bored with the whole thing actually, so i won't go into it further.
braved the arctic temps at the st. paul winter carnival and ice palace. it is very cool to see, especially at night, but it was a little too cold to stay long. besides, i found that once you saw it and snapped a couple pics, there really wasn't that much to do. it took a night under my electric blanket, cranked up to 5, to actually fully thaw out.
a qwest customer service rep called and left me a message. no can do on the dsl. this is disappointing on several fronts, a. it took them exactly 23 days to get back to me to tell me something i already knew, but thought they could "fix". b., the csr sounded a little too chipper for my liking, unfortunately, dsl is not available at your residence at this time, however, we will contact you when such a time"...blah blah blah. and c, no dsl!!!. i'm now stuck with shelling out big dough for cable internet access (not likely) or puttering along with dial-up until qwest get's off thier butts and gets me access. life's unkind.
that's all for now...more next time.
