Insanely Awe-dical

Today has a high of 49 and a low of 29, and I'm starting to realize thats why I actually kept that jacket and that scarf. My fingers shiver as this post is being typed, despite the fact I'm wearing a sweater, a jacket, a scarf, a beanie and a blanket (notice that GLOVES are missing, which explains the first part of the sentence). It's really misleading when Yahoo Weather says Sunny, but the degrees is less than 50. It's actually very disheartening.

The concept of going to Utah to go SNOWBOARDING practically frightens me -- I'm ready for cold weather, but apparently Vegas winter just sucker-punched me. It is tough to be ready for freakin cold, when you move to Vegas in the summer, and day after day your body mentally strengthens to battle the harsh dry emotionally painful heat of the 110 degree summer.

Yesterday I finally got my loan approval. I jumped for joy and made my calls/texts, and I'm happy there isn't much more stress involved in the process. Just looking at papers, noting the numbers, and all that good stuff. Next step -- walkthrough, paying money, moving in.

Does the picture above look like and invisible family doing the robot? That's the first thing I thought of...

So I started doing some tests with my Cox flaky internet connection when I realized who the culprit was -- my router! I set a ping /t on both my gateway (router) and on google.com -- whenever google.com's ping fails, the ping on the gateway shouldn't die, but it does. So apparently my wireless is not consistent. I need a new wireless router, especially since when we move, we're probably going to need a wireless router that extends around the house, and the piece I have now goes to "good connection" from "excellent" it I move it a couple of feet. Any suggestions?

And to close, some comments from Lewis Black on the subject of cold:

"It was the coldest winter I can remember in my life. It was really nice weather if you were a fucking moose. If you had fur on your nuts, it was a festival out there. I didn't have a thought the whole winter. Seriously, the only thought I had was 'Fuck its cold!' or 'It's cold as fuck!'"
