Comcast Must Die (Preferably In a Fire)
Yep, I'm offline again. And this time it's not even yoyoing for a while then back, it's just dead -- no less than a week since comcast last checked our crappylow signal strength.

No SL work, no IMs, no TF2, etc... Until they get here to poke at in on SUNDAY. ARGH.

On the upside I managed to snag a rental copy of GTA4 to test the controls. (They changed them around a bit this time, more of a stock shooter mechanic.) Fortunately the classic style controls are still there, so I can in fact play... Although the new car handling sucks. If I can get the hang of that and shooting I might buy the game.

...Now to go stare at the wall for awhile. And/or the Venture Bros dvd I rented. Heard good things about that show, figured I should scope it out.

Edit: It's still not 100% stable, but it seems the evening hours are plausible for internet access. I'll have to skip tomorrow's telecommuting, though... from past experiences when Comcast flakes out it always flakes out during work hours, for some weird reason. You'd think it'd be the other way around.

Finished Venture Bros Season 1. This show is AWESOME. SO DAMN AWESOME. I'm gonna put in Amazon orders for the box sets. I'm a sucker for any show that plays with melodramatic cartoonish villanry.

I have some news that might brighten your day a tad...

A while back I found a torrent of science fiction and fantasy novels -- a series of torrents really, hundreds of authors and thousands of books.

On looking at the G section, I discovered an entry for "GAGNE, Stefan," containing the complete text of AFWLtS... :)

(Also, Venture Brothers? Is the awesome.)

Dropped Internet and effed-up DV-R system - it's Comcastic!

...How did you post to Livejournal?

Also, how have you NOT seen Venture Bros.? Go watch it!

Had a brief, brief window of access I could post through. I seem to be stable... for now.

Both seasons of Venture Bros are pure win. They really need to make a third season.

Third season starts in June. That's why I got started now, I wanted to be ready, since it seemed like One Of Those Shows. You know, the kind the internet buzzes about and adores, like Firefly. I needed a grounding first.

Hi... just wanted to say that I found Sailor Nothing via TV Tropes and read the whole thing in one sitting. I really loved it. Thanks for writing such a great story!
