so it's been a while since I last wrote, but whudevs. A few things that are/were on my mind.

Phillies -- good job not breaking the farm to get Cliff Lee. Last I checked, he just threw a complete game while getting two hits of his own. Roy Halladay, for whom the Blue Jays wanted the two prize jewels of the farm system (including possible NL rookie of the year J.A. Happ), gave up five runs in five innings.

Comcast -- Comcast has declared war upon me. They have the audacity to demand that the cable running into the house must also go through a digital cable box. While this may have the added bonus of giving unto us the N, home of Degrassi, this is evil and underhanded. Slowly they are taking away basic expanded cable channels, such as the history channel and food network. Worst of all, they are robbing me of Hardball. These people will pay for their sins, surely. But the thing is, cable in itself is already "digital". In fact, the digital versions of these channels come in on the hdtv we have. To resume getting these channels, we would have to get a cable box for each tv in the house, for which each would most likely be paid for separately. So, to summarize, in order to maintain the number of channels we get (and i assure you, we only get basic cable), we would have to pay more for a higher service. Methinks this is a blackmail of sorts.

Healthcare -- this issue is actually kinda huge, so I'm gonna leave it alone for here, and most likely post something more comprehensive in a day or two.

meh, good enough for now
