I just finished listening to the latest WTF podcast with Barry Crimmins. I highly recommend you download and listen to this one (and not just because Barry is from the next town over from me – though that doesn’t hurt, either). He wrote all the best stuff that Randi Rhodes ever said on her show back in the AAR days (I know, because we had the chance to go and see him at the Unitarian Church near where we used to live, and I recognized a lot of what he said). Definitely an interesting guy – and a good lefty.
It’s a big day here today, as the DirecTV guy is here right now. Yes, I decided to switch from Dish (thanks for all your input on that), so tonight I should be able to record Haven, Bill Maher AND Dracula all at once. Assuming I can figure out all the new channel numbers, anyway. I also ordered a new TV for my office – nothing fancy. Just something a little bigger than the decidedly non-HD 15″ one I have now. That way, when I hide in my office and watch football, I won’t have to sit four inches away from the teevee. Though tomorrow’s football game will probably be painful to watch no matter how far away I sit.
Not that I’ll have time for football tomorrow, as I have to install the new dishwasher. Aside from trying to figure out how to tear out one cabinet without totally destroying the one next to it, it looks like I’ll have to re-plumb the sink drain lines. That’ll be a pain. If I manage to get that done, I also need to change the oil and the fuel filters on my tractor.
Hopefully I’ll have time to watch a little teevee.
Sorry but I didn’t have a dog in the Dish/Direct hunt. I was almost going to satellite some years ago when I dropped cable but just gave up entirely.
I have received a few correspondences from an attorney lately so the eviction hammer seems about to drop. Today is my demi-birthday so I may not go to the post office to get my mail.
I love this band. You might as well. I think they are Brooklyn-based but they seem to be always on the road.
Happy demi-birthday! :banana:
(what’s that mean exactly?)

It’s Demi Moore’s birthday?
Cool. I just grabbed their albums Fun Machine and the self-entitled (I always hate when people say “self titled,” ‘cuz I’m pretty sure that would just mean they titled it themselves) Lake Street Dive.
Good luck on the eviction thing. I hope wherever you wind up, it turns out to be a change for the better in at least some way. Like maybe in your new place they’ll leave behind a desk with $98,000 in it.
