No conditions are permanent; no conditions are reliable; nothing is settled
Cable TV people are stupid. Since nobody is watching the Food network anymore, I talked my parents into dropping that group of channels and picking up the music-related group, which was supposed to include MTV. I'd never bothered finding out what channel it was before, but the one they told my mom on the phone is actually Razer. Which is a cool channel to have: I had a nice flashback tonight by watching an early season 2 ep of BtVS followed by an early season 2 ep of Roswell (from whence the subject quote comes - ah, Kyle :D). Anyway, I had *just* enough time to look at the activated channels before going to work this morning and tell mom that no, that isn't right. She called back and the customer service person told her that those channels used to be MTV1 and MTV2, but they had since switched to Razer and PunchMuch (all-request music vids).
This is, in fact, true. 1 & 2 used to be fake MTV channels, carrying some of its programming but not actually owned by MTV. Except in 2005, MTV Canada was born with an actual MTV channel. After all these fucking years, they found a legal loophole and hauled their asses into the country - and into the Masonic Temple, which irritated me when I found out that's their HQ. Anyway, when MTV Canada began broadcasting, the 2 fake channels were, of course, cut off. As was MuchMusic from broadcasting anything that they had formerly had the rights for, like, oh, say, the VMAs.
The problem lies in the fact that the customer service idiot who works at the cable company doesn't know this shit and is apparently unaware that yes, there IS an MTV channel and that's what I want, dammit! Grr. So now I get to call them in the morning and explain shit that THEY SHOULD KNOW! So that I can get MTV Canada before Thursday. On the off chance that three certain boys will make an appearance. Because I'm obsessed. *bows*
I got my EEB ticket in the mail today and was immensely grateful that it came in an envelope from the venue, not the event. Since my father picks up the mail and that could've been a tad awkward, lol. Too funny. So, plane ticket, event ticket, some American money? Check. I need to convert more after I get paid again *kicks the dentist for taking extra* aaaand a few other things, and then I'm all set!
I've been having extremely vivid, extremely fucked up dreams, and the strangest thing is that most of them involve school. I realise that like a year and a half/two years ago, I considered going back to school for Sept '07, but ultimately chose not to. I can only assume that it's a subconscious kick in the arse to get moving on the whole moving out of the country thing a little faster. Although, the one where a bunch of us were in talking to koneko41's student advisor was hilarious. She was trying to convince Kat to do a an exchange program somewhere in Kenya, and I finally told her that Kat wanted to go somewhere where "public bathroom" didn't mean squatting in the nearest bushes hoping that nothing would come chew on her ass while it was hanging out. *giggles*
Apparently I have my ramble hat on. Heh. Obviously, I am feeling better. Yey!
