I had few expectations going into this past Thursday's episode of The Office---do you blame me?---and had even less so when Jim and Pam were nowhere to be seen at the beginning of the episode.  Their absences have to lower ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2009/10/17/a-quick-review-of-mafia-the-episode-of-the-office-not-the-jay-mohr-movie-obviously/ Ugh.  I'm constipated.

On Friday, I called Charter Cable, quickly got someone in the sales department (amazing considering I had to deal with Charter's IVR), and started my Charter Cable inquiry with a patented "I'm a soon-to-be-former AT&T DSL customer.  Can you offer me a deal on Charter Cable?"  The ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2009/10/10/adventures-in-obtaining-decent-internet-service-part-2/ Sorry, I couldn't come up with a snazzier title. EDIT:  This is gonna have to be split up into two entries...I really need to learn how to better economize my words :P.

My loyal readers---all none of you---will notice that I haven't said a word about the Dodgers in some time. I'm going to break the silence with just one comment. Adam Wainwright, in his attempts to defend LF Matt Holliday's horrible gaffe that sparked the Dodgers' ninth inning, two-out rally, ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2009/10/08/my-office-review-for-this-week/ Looks like more details have come in regarding the near-lawsuit between the family of a 12yo girl who caught a Ryan Howard home run, and the Phillies' organization for allegedly entering an illegal contract with a minor (at least, that appears to be the case the family's lawyer had against ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2009/10/08/more-on-the-ryan-howard-near-lawsuit/ I heard on the radio this morning that tonight is going to be a one-hour episode of The Office, complete with Jim and Pam's wedding.  I guess that means I better watch the last two episodes.  But first... - Fantasy Football updates: Remind me never to listen to Yahoo! and their stupid ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2009/10/08/ryan-howard-gets-sued-by-a-twelve-year-old-over-a-home-run-ball-and-so-i-hear-there-is-going-to-be-an-office-wedding/ It was 2-0, Colorado, in the top of the first inning when I turned off my TV.  It was 4-3, Colorado, when I turned it back on.  Then I saw Andruw Jones strike out for the fourth time in the game. (Wait.  That wasn't Andruw Jones?  That was MANNY RAMIREZ???) And to ... http://www.ungsunghero.com/2009/10/02/musings-as-i-watch-the-dodgers-choke-away-the-nl-west/ And if you don't believe me, watch SportsCenter later today. Or tomorrow. Or next week. Or right now (CBS is showing "The Play").
