I can't really express...
Oct. 10th, 2007 02:51 am...how I feel about being forced to use dial-up without drawing some pretty intense and justified fire from people who've actually experienced, say, sexual assault or the Holocaust, but from my whiny tall-white-man-of-privilege perspective, it's way, way worse than anything that's happened to anyone ever.
Ever.
I'd like to think my recent progress in using Emotional Self Management techniques to reduce my residual anger level will lead to a time when I don't have as many horrifically violent random thoughts, but:
1) ...it's sure as Hell not going to happen as long as I'm still using dial-up and
2) ...in the meantime I'm going to direct those thoughts in practical Plans-Of-Action targeted to anyone trying to take my broadband away.
Be careful with that electric edger!
A mistake could be *very* costly.

Although it's still very painful to hear my new puppy cry and howl when he isn't constantly the center of attention, it's gotten to a point where it's starting to seem funny. I've actually pulled out my SM-58 microphone and my mixing board to record some of the choicer whining. I understand that being taken away from your family is a very traumatic experience, but it isn't being ass-raped by Mike Tyson. Some of the histrionics are so ridiculous you can't do anything but laugh, especially when you're five feet away and can see the total absence of blow torches, thumb screws, or large, superhuman heavyweight champions of the world.
The puppy went to fire practice at Cafe Mundi tonight and was ecstatically the center of attention of at least twenty different people throughout the night. He was also on a leash for the first time, and he did very well. It's still very hard to tell if he's peeing when I take him out for short walks, but it was also *very* cold for such a short-haired dog. He spent most of his evening inside people's coats and shirts, with only his little head sticking out.
There were several excellent name suggestions that I will at to the contest list.
