• On #UFC100: Me: "Who do you think is gonna win?" Wife: "All of them, they're all winners tonight in my book." Best answer ever. #
• uhh...I ordered it and UFC 100 isn't showing up on my comcast...black screen, no pre-show...if it fails I'm cancelling service tomorrow. #
• I'm freaking out. Comcast doesn't work, Verizon doesn't work, it's seriously like I'm living in a fucking third world country. #
• if I have to go to hooters to watch UFC 100 and find out that now, I'm sending Comcast the bill. This is insane. #
• Jenn is on phone with them, screaming, demanding a partial refund for the 40 minutes we've missed so far. Such a good wife 🙂 #
• Not watching ufc 100. Comcast can't make it work, with no verizon anywhere near us can't call tech support, and BW3 full. I'm unglued, FML. #
• I live in a 3rd world country hellhole. I pay $300 a month for services they literally can't provide me, and I'm the bad guy. Kill me now. #
• I'm so frusturated. My cell contract is up 7/29, I'm getting rid of my cell and turning that # into my land line, fuck verizon..... #
• ....Comcast is trying to make it right, I'm within my 30 days so they're bending over backwards to retain me...we'll see how this goes. #
• Comcast fixed the PPV system, but I have 3 days to cancel service. HOA bans Sat dishes, risk it for better service? ccast burned me once... #
• Oh, and they refunded my $45 for the event, and in complaining about Verizon to they guy offered to throw in free phone if I sign for 24 mos #
• I may order a BS movie tomorrow, if it works, I will stay on cCast, get free land line and port my VZW # 2b our land line, and go cell-less #
• Dang, night of tirades. Frustrating when crap you pay lots for fails constantly, especially when you're a techie. To better days, night all. #
• ZOMG!!!111 JUST GOT A WOOT BAG OF CRAP AWESOME STAYING UP ALL NIGHT TOTALLY MADE WHOLE DAY BETTER! #

Rygel, our fantastic puppy, (http://www.facebook.com/rygel.woof) really likes people a lot. However, there's rules and a procedure for meeting him, and these must be strictly followed. Here are the rules, all laid out for all to know before meeting him.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE! We've extensively trained him to hold his bladder, but for a select few people (read: Leon and my Dad) he compulsively piddles every time he sees them. He's always done it to the 2 of them, and if you're part of this select group, you'll just have to get used to greeting him outside. He can't help it and it can't wait, we don't know if it's a smell or something, but he INSTANTLY pees.

RULES FOR MEETING RYGEL:

1. When he sees a new person, whether it's in the park, in his house, outside, wherever, he will bark and snarl at you. You will be convinced he will bite you, and he might, though we never let anyone get close enough. He is completely viscous sounding and is truly frightening. This is normal. (Side note: recently, 2 small children have met him, and he hasn't been interested or bothered, he simply ignores them. Not to encourage small children around him, but one was a Downs syndrome girl whose mom was walking through our old house and let the girl walk, and Rygel tolerated her poking very, very well.)
2. He will be on a leash or held tight by the collar while all his nastiness is going on. One of us (Jenn of I) will get a treat.
3. We will put the treat in his face, and grab his attention. There is a narrow window for this.
4. He will be told to sit, at which point the treat will be handed to you in full view of Rygel.
5. You will extend the non-treat hand, and both you and Jenn/Myself will say "shake hands" to which he will very politely extend a paw and shake your hand.
6. You give him the treat

And then all will be well. It's like a freaking "off" switch. Usually one routine of this is enough, occasionally he'll forget you next time you come around and we need to do it again, but it takes THAT TRICK for some crazy reason to make him OK with people. High Five doesn't work, nor does Roll Over, Play Dead, Stand Up, Lay Down, etc.

For warning to people who don't like dogs, he has no self control when it comes to addressing people he is friends with. He will sit in your lap. He will lick your face. He will bring you toys to play with. He will fall asleep on your leg. He is the most affectionate cuddler ever, and loves to play all day, but you have to get in his good graces first.

• I'm getting chills watching the "making of" of pick of destiny, seeing Dio record his vocals for the album. He's truly evil. #
• I sincerely consider "Pick of Destiny" my own rocky horror...I have the whole album on my ipod and have to sing along compulsively. #
• Watching Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny...Best night ever. I love this movie, I should have been a stoner. #
• why the hell does wordpress take all my freaking well laid out files and turning them all into one line? It's almost a deal breaker for me. #
• Holy shit, a lot of people I knew/followed died this month. June 2009 was the month of the dead. I count 6. #
• o snap and Franken wins...that's what I get for being offline in my first day in the office. The world has passed me by 🙁 #
• Jesus. TPB sold and going legit? Plane crash? Firefox 3.5? iPhone using universal charger? Missed a HUGE news day. #
• Switching from blogging every tweet to a "daily digest" summary of the days tweets, may go to weekly eventually. We'll see. #
• Billy Mays is dead? This week is too much for me to handle. Every Mays product I ever used lived up to expectations 🙁 #
• Best ad in the history of the internet...click til the end: http://digg.com/d1uyWh #
