DirecTV appears to be charging me for an HBO/Starz/Showtime package I didn't order. I contacted the company that provides my cable/internet services first (my apartment complex is weird enough that I have to go through one particular person at the company to address issues here, as other tech people have no clue what's going on), and they informed me that despite the info page I have that says to call them for any cable problems, I need to call DirecTV, and then politely assumed that Someone Else must have called in and ordered it because, you know, these things never happen accidentally. I refrained from asking who this mysterious Someone Else might be, as I live alone, other than the cat, and she doesn't have thumbs so she can't actually phone in to order it.

And my phone is on low battery so I can't phone in to ask right now. I sent a Very Stern E-mail to DirecTV instead, and will phone tomorrow after I charge it, if I haven't heard back.

If I'm still in this apartment come June, I am SO ordering AT&T UVerse. myrialux has it, pays just about what I'm paying (minus *his* Showtime and HD fees), and gets better bandwidth, better signal, and better service all around. I shall take great pleasure in informing this company of that.

Yo, rachelmanija!

Blue roses finally exist! Part rose, part petunia (they've got a petunia gene spliced into them).

No word yet on whether they're telepathic or not.

Just keeping track...

...and attempting to guilt myself into working harder and faster on the Yuletide story.
