Symphony of Destruction
With apologies to Mr. Mustaine, you can now hear a recording of the giant 9.3 Sumatran Earthquake which was picked up by underwater microphone.

Out in the middle of nowhere, I find an Ethernet jack in my room. And a T1 sitting on the other end of the switch. I'm in a cabin built in the 1930's and we've got high-speed access in the middle of nowhere. Of course, this is a college campus so I shouldn't be too surprised.
Especially after this....

I won't even link to the damn assholes since I don't want them to get a millisecond of attention or traffic making them think they are doing some sort of wonderful thing, but Sinn Fein has put a condolence book on their website for the victims of the London Bombings...
Miss Morrissette, you're wanted on stage.
I've had my Sirius receiver for about a month now, and frankly it's something I can live without. Even if it was free, there is no way that I would use the thing with all of my MP3s fitting nicely onto 10 CD's. So with that in mind, I decided to call Sirius to cancel the service. Here's how it went:
Call Toll Free #
Maze of choices
Figure out "change the status of your account" means discontinue service
Wait ten minutes
Repeat the information I typed in
Go through security drill
Tell them what I want to do
Promptly told that another group handles these requests and they will call me back "in a day or two".
Told there is no way to note my account that I called in today to cancel my service.
No idea if they will cancel my service back to this date.
I understand wanting to keep subscriber's money coming in, but in my case where I'm a new customer who was not overly impressed with the service; any chance for me coming back is slipping away quickly...
But unfortunately not on the music front.
Bob Evans Insurance called, going to pay all dental charges. Was quite surprised to get that answer. Will get paperwork within a few days...
At least as far as my music is concerned...
Been trying to find a band to play in for the last several months. It really really really sucks when you live in the middle of nowhere and everyone wants to be strangely different, so different that they all sound the same. Last night I went and tried out for a band, but from what I'm reading it didn't go well since they put another update out this morning looking for "musicians" of which I'm guessing I didn't qualify.
Spoke to Bob Evans' Insurance Company today. They asked some questions (along the lines of "did you keep the piece of bone that broke your tooth" to "are you sure your teeth were in good shape") to which I responded appropriately. The woman sounded quite skeptical of the whole thing, so we'll see what happens. All I want these guys to do is pay for the crown and my time off (and if they want to throw in some $$$$ for the pain and suffering, like $30, I could deal with that as well). But I have a nasty feeling that is not going to be the case.
Sounds like all of the kids are OK in London. My cousin was on her way to Wimbledon, but apparently things were backed up when she got there. Still nothing from Richard's side of the family...
Are they protesting poor working conditions? Or if they are protesting various casino games, the 21st of each month will probably be the next target.
Apparently, at Bob Evans, you should ask the cook to hold the bone pieces from you Ham and Cheese Omelette. Broke one of my molars right down the side, accident report filled out with the manager of the store. We'll see what happens Tuesday....
