pedro looks like he’s fifty

it’s pedro’s birthday today. he turned 22 and the only way i know is from seeing it on the imdb site by accident. happy birthday, pedro! i definitely plan on voting for you.

i now have cable. how i got it is rather interesting. cox said it would be installed by 7pm yesterday. no problemo. i waited. i blogged, because i was sick of waiting. and then i waited some more.

i started watching a netflix dvd to pass the time. it is probably one of the worst movies ever made. watching it was rather agonizing, because all i could think about was wanting to watch cable.

you may be wondering why i would watch something like that. if you know me, you aren’t wondering. it’s 80′s, i used to collect the cards, i think i saw the movie when it came out, and i’m a big mackenzie astin fan. putting the dvd on my queue seemed like a no brainer (in more ways than one).

about 64% of the way through the movie, the clock struck 7. i changed the channel to 2… fuzz. 3… fuzz. 4… leftovers from a broadcast channel, but mainly fuzz. i was so pissed, i was actually ‘pist’. cox had pist me right off. if the cable was an empty tube leading back to their headquarters, i would have shown them just how pist i really was.

i felt like killing something. that spider on the wall would do nicely. i climbed up onto the little snack bar and thrust a kleenex at his unsuspecting head. he jumped at me. while he looked like your basic house spider, i don’t think there are any basic animals or insects in the desert. he got into this big circular wicker thing. i picked it up, shook him out, and crushed his little body with the kleenex. sorry, dude, you picked the wrong day to enter this home.

then i grabbed a flashlight and went to the cable box outside to hook the damn cable up myself. i had been out there a couple days ago and noticed a coax cable was not attached to anything. if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. surprise, surprise. that cable had not been connected, which only infuriated me more. i could have been watching cable all day today. so i removed a little cable blocker that the coax cable should have been connected to and connected the cable directly to the house terminal.

bamm! that mother effer was hooked up like a professional did it. maybe because i am a professional… slacker! eat it, cox. you suck.

now i just have to decide if i ever want to finish watching that terrible 80′s movie before i return it to netflix tomorrow.
