Right now I'm watching the final scene of Dirty Dancing which is, in my mind, better than any glass of wine. Nobody puts baby in a corner!

So yesterday was just peachy. I mean, there's some wacky stuff going on at work, but it's all systems and work specific stuff and that's really not what I'm here to talk about. So I come home to a cable free household. As in nothing at all. No cable, no internet, none of it. Luckily I have about a zillion hours of DVR-ed goods so I caught up a little. I'm below 70% full right now! Of course, it'll fill up again tonight, but we move on. So I made my appointment and woke up to a cable free morning. Nothing. Nothing at all. I couldn't even watch the terrible morning show that I need to blog about sometime.

Today I move my cable appointment. Since it's a same day thing they can't give me a set time, I only know that they'll give me a 30 minute warning. I wait patiently for the phone to ring. Aside form a few family and friend calls: nothing.

But on the way home I decide to run a couple of errands. First is the bank where I, uh, do some banking. Next stop was a little bit more interesting--the library. Not so interesting in itself, but outside was the sweetest, most patient choco-lab. She was sitting so nicely I thought for sure she had to belong to a library patron. After waiting about ten minutes and calling the owners (she did have a collar and tag) I realized she had just gotten away from home. A quick check in the library revealed that this wasn't the case, this sweet gal had made her way across a busy intersection on more than one occasion. I did make a quick call to the home (no answer) and since the little lady had already jumped in my car once I decided to take her home. She was a true sweetheart and I was very sad--I mean this great doggie is out in high nineties temperatures? I wanted to take her home but I knew that was out of the question. So when I dropped her off (no one at home) she stood on the porch and watched me leave. Sigh.

So the cable dude eventually calls and shows up a couple of minutes later. It was a simple disconnect--or disco, as they say in the biz. When the cable came up it happened to be on MTV which happened to be on a rap countdown. After signing, surveying, and testing the tech asked me if I liked rap, if I knew rap, blah blah blah rap, so I said no, I don't deep up with it, it just happened to be on that channel. Apparently he'd spent some time at some up and comer's house setting up something cable related. I then told him about a co-worker's husband (also a cable tech) and how he did some work for some member of KISS. I suppose this was cable dude's cue to move out fast because he was gone within 30 seconds of me finishing the story.

Anyway, Flashy's here. It's hot. I'm sleepy.
