I just opened up all the windows and found another in one of our bedroom windows. The screens have a lot of wiggle, and the bugs can easily fit in between the screen and the window. So I'm thinking some double-sided tape should fix that up.

But 4 beers and two glasses of slightly sparkly stuff, and all the funk in the world isn't going to make you move. And you're kind of sad, but . . . y'know. You're in work tomorrow, and there is work to be done. Saying good bye to your folk is nice, you know? head out, grab that taxi. Get yourself home, break out that favourite track, sit down with a drink, and it all feels. Appropriate. You got wee ones now, so is it all with the ol' fart, or are you just grabbing the moment? Mos def the latter. Sit down, break that open. It's been a while, and you're not going to be on your bike, all locked in and feeling things work. Next best thing.

That whiskey sure is good. And I don't give a good god damn about how much of a racist $#@! amiri baraka may or may not be. Something In the Way of things works every time.

Yeah.

I met Amiri Baraka once. He was a pretty nice guy.

So, how long should it take to, I guess the right word is initialize a high def/dvr once it's installed and the power is on?

I know I could put it on one of those help me I'm lost threads, but I have to head out in a second, and I don't have time to dig it up, and I don't feel like starting a new thread for something I hope won't even be a problem by the time I get an answer.

Nevermind. Figured it myself.

The thing is, I had the cable plugged into the wrong thing. But when I went to turn it on, it simply said something like, please be patient, you should have programming shortly". WHy didn't it say something like, you dumb shit, you connected the cable to the wrong thing. Try the other one."

Don't feel bad -- I called the cable company a month or so ago because all of a sudden the screen was just black. I did all this fancy troubleshooting with the other cable box and the second line we have, and different cables....

Only to find that the HDMI cable pulled out of the box when I was getting the serial number to reset the box earlier that day.

Can you be a successful writer without a full college education?

Absolutely. My co-writer on the Hitchcock book isn't college educated and he's had a fair amount of success.

Yes. My successful writer friend say the only thing you need to do to be a successful writer is to write.

It is also well known that Hitchcock himself was in fact an uneducated vagrant
