Friday morning random

scarlettinaI've received several boxes from Amazon.com during this holiday season. They've all included a little bookmark touting a promotion wherein, if you win, what you win is a two-year lease on some fancy-schmancy car. As a prize, this makes very little sense to me: it's a prize you have to give back at the end of two years. What kind of a prize is that?
I'm still without cable. The cable guy is here even as I type, now fully aware that our whole buidling has been without cable for just over a week. I'm not letting him leave until we have service again. Should you hear of a hostage situation developing in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle, feel free to tell the newsies that you knew me, that I was the quiet type who never bothered anyone, and you would never have expected such behavior from sweet little me.
Got my hair cut yesterday. It's shorter than it's been in a while. It's not as short as I'd prefer, but I'm not slim enough to pull it off in the way I'd like to right now. Still, shorter is good; I like it shorter. It curls up more at this length, which pleases me.
This place is Clutter Central. I've flattened for recycling all the random Amazon boxes that had taken up residence, and piled up all the random videotapes that were cluttering up the space in front of the TV (now to watch and sort through them!). But I still have so much uncluttering to do. And the place was so tidy just a month ago. ::sigh::
Tonight's the last candle of Chanukah. I had this idea that I was going to post here every day with another Chanukah icon. I've rather failed at that. So here's a Chanukah icon. I'll decide before I click the "post" button if it's going to be the animated one or one of the pretty ones. Hmmm.
ETA: Cable guy says that the problem isn't an outage. Apparently our building amplifier was trashed by the storm. I asked him three different ways when someone would come to fix that problem. He couldn't give us an answer [two other owners were witness to the conversation]. When I asked him to call his supervisor and get an ETA, he said his supervisor couldbn't do that either because they had outtages all over town and they were working through the weekend to return service. I'll be watching my bill like a hawk. In the meanwhile, I'm missing SciFi's Doctor Who marathon, which I'd hoped to tape. ::grumble::

Also, I don't know how they do things, but expect one of them there packages from me (although it's not from Amazon but another place so if you see something that makes you think it could be from Uncle Skids, it probably is)
let there be TV
