Deadholed

Had a surprisingly hard-sell-free conversation with RCN just now, and my monthly cable bill just got cheaper by $85. They're even pro-rating my current bill. Or they will once I get around to handing them back their box, anyway.

Someone's been teaching them some customer-service lessons since the last time I talked to them... good! (He did tell me some in-between options I could take that involved keeping the TV service, but when I said I just wasn't watching TV, he didn't press the issue.)

We'll see how this works out.

Going to make another call now to see if I can get a totally outta-left-field prezzie for my parents and Ricky. I've had a brochure for the American Cribbage Congress on my kitchen counter since Origins 2004 for exactly this purpose, and the spirit finally moves me to call em up and get some memberships. They will love this!

I totally just ripped all three of those old Bungie game discs.

I'm an artist, you're a critic, they're a philistine.

Nice comments from the BGG crowd about cthulhia's Carcacookies. (Scroll to bottom.) And I actually just noticed the tags people have given it: Girls! Food! Wow! Indeed.

Stupid comment about Jmac's Arcade (which I can't see how to link to without linking to the video player, too). Also he gave me one star. Oh well, at least he liked the game...

(Actually I think the comment is pretty funny.)
