It was way up there in the 40s yesterday (for a while, then it got colder and snowed like hell for a few hours) and today they claim it may get to 50. Then the roller coaster starts downhill again and it’s supposed to go back to being really friggin’ cold next week. And so it goes. I’m tired of it.

And I’m tired of work (not working in general, just the mind-numbingly dull shit I do day in and day out, mostly sitting in a shitty windowless office next to a door that you have to enter a code to open, so it goes “beep beep beep beep beep…beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep” all day long, except 78% of the fucking idiots that work in my area are too stuipd to get the code right, and/or are too stupid to turn the door handle before trying to open it, which means the door goes “bang bang bang” and the piece of frosted glass that would allow us to look out over the stairway if it wasn’t’ frosted glass shakes and rattles and makes you jump out of your skin every time it happens and it happens basically every five to seven minutes all day long except for a couple hours around lunch when it’s more like every thirty seconds – I swear to baby jeezus they stand out there and wait to enter one at a time).

I’m not even there today, and it’s making me irate just thinkingabout it. But you know what I’m really tired of? Obama palin’ around with terrorists, that’s what.

Here he is yucking it up with Comcast CEO Brian Roberts (and World Bank Prez Jim Kim. Yeah, Jim Kim) at Martha’s Vineyard last summer.

Roberts and Comcast are big Obama donors (not that he doesn’t spread it around to other folks, of course), so what do you think the odds are that the DOJ (or FCC or FTC) are going to oppose the Comcast/Time Warner merger that will be the beginning of the end of the Internet (and Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, etc). There’s already pretty clear evidence that Comcast (consistently rated among the absolute worst companies in America, by the way) – in clear violation of the agreement it made when the government allowed them to buy NBC Universal – is already throttling traffic from Netflix over its network (which I’m sure has nothing to do with Comcast’s Xfinity Online Streaming service – which, BTW, doesn’t count against a Comcast subscriber’s monthly data limits).

When a single company both owns the content and controls the means of distributing said content, guess who gets screwed? Hint: it won’t be Obama. In fact I bet Brian and Jim will even keep letting him win at golf.

So you better binge watch House of Cards while you still can, ‘cuz pretty soon you’re gonna have to take whatever Comcast decides you should have (kind of like Apple, come to think of it).

Oh well at least it’s Friday. Normally, I’d be happy about that, but this week, not so much. My friend John is making me go out tonight to see some live music. In theory, I like live music, and I even might enjoy leaving the house. In practice, however, it means I have to do laundry and put on some clothes and leave the house at night in the dark and stay up way past my bedtime. Plus I’ll have to be seen in public, which I try to avoid unless absolutely necessary.

This is kinda how I feel:
