Okay, I really do try to be a positive person. I think of myself as a glass-half-full (of wine) kinda girl but the electronic devices around me are killing me. Slowly but surely, their dropping like flies.
I know I didn't used to be addicted to television but nowadays, it seems like my world revolves around my weekly television shows. What will I talk about at work if I miss an episode of Dancing with the Stars? Well, if it rains that night, I'll be missing it. Every time it storms, my TV looks like this:
Isn't she pretty?
As you probably guessed, it's raining right now so I'm a little miffed. I will call Comcast for the 90,321 time and they will do another service call. A fat man in a blue shirt will come to my house, probably when I'm here alone. Bodie will bark, the man will ask if he bites. My brain laughs and says no but I tell him yes.
Man is scared.
Man will crawl under my house, climb the pole near the street, fiddle with my TV and conclude nothing is wrong. We've danced this dance before dude, something has got to give. {sigh} I thought only satellite TV went out during the rain? No HBO for me tonight I guess.
Also, our local radio station has changed and has now messed up my already screwy commute. It used to be super cool and hip playing the best of the Biebs and Ke$ha. You know, that dirty chick we all love to hate?
Sparkly...
Well instead of 93.7 KISS FM, our station is now ALICE 93.7 and Alice plays crappy music. Okay, I take that back. If I wanted to go to sleep or "make love," I would totally listen to Alice. She plays the likes of Jewel and Sarah McLachlan and even some John Mayer which is just fine but not before 7 a.m.
In the morning, it usually takes all the power I can muster to pick up my phone that I sleep with under my pillow and check my Facebook. What makes you think that once I have showered and made coffee that I want to "slow things down" with a Sarah McLachlan song?
Alice has forced me to remove her from my radio line-up. The first time I heard the new station, the morning show was asking listeners to call in about how often they use Chap Stick. Okay, I am addicted to my Chap Stick but this was as entertaining as ear wax.
I have since replaced Alice with a crappy DC station that is mostly fuzz and am currently making an iTunes mix that will make my FM stations all obsolete. Now, if I can just get that new Nano for Christmas, I'd be all set.

Hahaha I love your description of Alice. If our local KISS channel went off the air I'd be SO angry. The new Nano looks so sweet, btw.
LOLLL "if I wanted to sleep or MAKE LOVE" lol.
Also, take a video next time it messes up (your TV) and then demand comcast fix it within a certain amount of time or you can get out of your contract. Then, get ANYONE BUT COMCAST. They are the world's worst company. We have AT&T U-verse and love it.
Hahaha! Don't worry you aren't the only one! Too funny!
My first time stopping by your blog - great stuff!
I have a love hate relationship with all things electronic as well. We have Direct TV and everytime it rains I miss my favorite shows too. Burns my grits!
