I've been feeding my neighbor's cat Smuckers for past few days. It hates me. Hissing and scratching at me every time I walk in the door. I think she misses her owner. I was lucky to get through the experience alive. In other animal news, Lola got her staples out.
I'm starting the University of Florida MBA program this Friday, and will be gone for 10 days in Gainesville, FL for the orientation. It seems like there are a fews good shows to check out while I'm there, so that should be fun. Not to mention seeing some friends for the first time in a year. When I come back, Brigitta will already be gone to Paris and Milan for work for the next week, returning in time to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary before I am off to Dublin again the week after that. February should be somewhat back to normal.
Oh yeah, and HD Tivo rules. The pathetic thing was that we had to wait two weeks to have a technician come out and install the CableCards, which amounted to a guy coming in, inserting a card, calling a phone number and repeating two numbers to the person on the other end who flipped a switch. Voila, $15.99! You see, Comcast won't let you do the self install for CableCards, probably in some last ditch effort to squeeze a few extra nickels out of us or salvage what's left of a dying business model. When you upgrade to a TV or DVR that uses CableCards, the cable companies cannot charge more than $1.50 per card. This saves the on the box rental fees they usually make off of you, and gives you the ability to bypass the Comcast STB menu system. All Hail Tivo!
