Simple Thoughts & The Dial-Up of Doom

I'm not going to do my usual today, by that meaning no picture today. Why do I make such a big deal out of nothing? I might have a thing for drama at all the wrong moments...

And I really do hate how it seems drama knows exactly where I am and now to find me at all the wrong moments. Had I known I had such a thing for that, maybe I would have attempted to be an actor? Soup Opera maybe?

Yeah right.

Anyway, onto the endless sea of thoughts that flow through this head of mine. Where to start?

Finally got around to picking up the CD for The Wreckers. I liked Michelle Branch's music (I admit it) before she grouped and together with Jessica Harp, they do make a pretty good team by the sounds of their music.

Only thing I did not realize was that their music is a bit more country. Not saying country music is a bad thing, it just isn't, shall we say, in my usual area of interest.

Side note: I hate dial-up. 30 minutes for a 4.5 MB download. That, ladies and gents, is a very very sad thing to see after experiencing cable.

Onto yet another thing that does bother me so, chain e-mails. Why do people insist on sending these around? I guess a lot of someones out there believe they will get bad luck for "X" number of years? I hope it isn't because these things are "fun," because clutter never is fun at least to me.

Who knows though. Could just be me and not understanding this the way it was intended?

Almost picked up ECW's December to Dismember DVD.

Keyword: Almost.

Considering there is only 2 matches mentioned on the back of the package, I would definitely had bought this if it were selling for $19.99 or something nearer to that number. But for $24? Nope. No thanks, I'll just give it a lot of time and pick it up when it hits the discount rack.

Next game I am looking to get is Street Fighter Alpha Anthology. Did I mention that before? Ah well. Anyway, I do hope it is a lot better then SFII Anniversary. That game was slow, slow, slow...

Side note: I hate dial-up. Yes, that I do know I have mentioned before. But to change things up, how about I say I hate dial-up AND AOL? That is truly a double shot of pure suck right there. Nothing ruins a day then having AOL D/C without saying anything, killing, say, any precious download that has taken an eternity to get done.

To make matters even better, it will not even allow me to reconnect because of some goddamn delay. How hard is it to let me log back in? I guess if you are AOL, that is like asking to move a mountain.

Ugh.

There went my download.

I sure as hell won't reattempt it, not now and definitely not for a while. AOL even had the balls to inform me that the program ran into a problem. Ha. Whodathunkit?

That really just threw a toolbox full of monkey wrenches into my flow of thoughts. So I suppose I shall bring this to an end today before AOL tells me it ran into a problem from 8 years ago and has only finally processed the thought.

I hate dial-up...
