I can see clearly now
Jan. 21st, 2004 02:52 pmMy tv picture is looking pretty again. The cable guys finally found the source of the problem. Took them two days. Yesterday the technician came out (not in the garaunteed time frame so I got a $20.00 credit!) and changed all the old cable wires and put up some sort of cable amplifier. He did a very thorough job of checking everything but the picture was still fuzzy on the lower number channels. He had to file a report for the guys with the big trucks to come out and check the lines.
So those guys came over today and while it took them a while they finally found the whatever was wrong and fixed it. Boy, the picture looks so beautiful now! I'm such a stickler for pristine reception. Guess I'm the only one because it turns out it was a problem on the whole street but nobody else had called to report it. If just one or two others had complained I might not have had to watch Alias on Sunday with all that fuzziness on the screen!
But it's good now, and tonight I'll watch AI3 in all its glory. *snort* Tonight's the last night of the auditions, aka the freak show. Seriously, how on earth do some of these people think they have talent?! That guy who cried last night - I mean, I felt bad for him because he was so genuinely heartbroken. But, honey, you cannot sing! Dang.
The worst of the worst so far has been "scat girl". OMG, that wasn't scatting, that was screeching! And it sounded nothing like Route 66. Horrible as her "singing" was, she looked even worse. Her outfit was the most pathetically hideous thing, all sloppy and fugly. At least they rejected her, unlike the highly annoying "Scooter girl". Tracey thinks anorexia was the least of her problems - she thinks she's downright pyschotic! It's beyond me why they said yes to her, and no to Martha from the military. Sure she can't shoot for shit, but she was a real charmer and sang fairly well I thought.
Oh well. In other freak show news, here's my favorite description of Howard Dean's meltdown the other night. From the NY Post:
"a raging Dean swung his fists as he vowed to fight on - then hoarsely screamed out upcoming primary states one by one in a building crescendo, before letting out a banshee shriek that sounded like a Muppet being strangled - "AAARGH!!!"
