I hate it when that happens.
Rogers (my cable and Internet provider) went down around 1 AM, and only came back up about half an hour ago. Damn it. Last night, I was actually able to go to bed around 4:30, and now, here it is, about that time again, and I haven't gotten anywhere close to getting my usual nightly online reading done. I was able to get some offline TT work done, but it'll likely have to be redone from scratch this weekend anyway when I meet with gurudata and rockgoddes.
It probably doesn't help that I got a lot of emails today, plus with this being Tuesday, I had to watch House and Boston Legal this evening. So that put me behind as well. How bad a TT Co-Chair am I, that it took until his third scene in tonight's House before I recognized Adam Busch, and even then I had to check TV.com to be sure it was him? (Normally I'd check IMDb, but they didn't seem to have tonight's episode correctly listed.) At least I recognized Howard Hesseman immediately...
Boston Legal wasn't as side-splittingly funny as it can be tonight, but it had its moments. Most of which, of course, involved Denny Crane and the American Homeowner case. Looks like Rene Auberjonois is going to have another good episode next week.
In the latest installment of the saga that is my quest to get Doctor Who S1 from Future Shop, they finally got a shipment in today. On the minus side, they didn't have them out on the shelf yet. I was in there for about 45 minutes while this young guy wearing a black cape (I gather that it had something to do with today's release of the latest Harry Potter movie) went through all of the boxes on the loading dock looking for it. He, and the department manager, said, "It's the least we can do, considering how long you've been waiting to get it." It's scary when they start recognizing you, and know what you're looking for, and go out of their way to find it so that you'll stop bugging them about it. (The manager said that wasn't the reason, but I doubt that.) Anyway, they couldn't find it in all of the boxes, so they took down my phone number. Apparently they're putting all of the new stuff out on the shelves tomorrow, so when they find it, they're going to call me and put it aside.
Yesterday, I neglected to mention that I went to visit my investment advisor. I spent about an hour in her office, and ended up investing about two thirds of my inheritance in a principal-protected income trust. They guarantee a 5.7% return, but in the past year it's actually returned something like 22%. I know it can't maintain that level of performance, but I can hope. *grin*
And hey, the Leafs won tonight, so not everything is bad. I know the Habs were exhausted from playing three games in four nights, but you take your victories where you can get them...
