Newbury Legacy: 9.2
Dec. 2nd, 2009 01:54 pmLast time: June and Caleb grew up into adorable - if whiny - little toddlers and then into even more adorable children. Morgan and Jack continued to neglect their own daughter to lavish love and affection on their nephew instead. And, oh yeah, I should probably mention that there was a massive lightning fire that burned down not only all of the foliage in their backyard but also Elliott's husband, Nolan. RIP, buddy. I would feel sorrier for you if you hadn't been so terribly boring.
In non-related news, I think I've only mentioned it in passing before, but our Internet has been a piece of shit for more than a month now. It's actually been on a gradual decline pretty much since we first got it but it's gotten completely intolerable lately. So my dad finally called the company again (the first time, they told him it was a "virus" which I knew wasn't true at all - I take care to make sure that doesn't happen because I already know what a headache it is to deal with one that refuses to go away) and the guy came out a couple hours ago. Apparently, the adapter that connects between our phone and the Internet signal receiver thingamajig is screwed up and when it's plugged in, it really slows down the speed (to the point where the Internet refuses to work at all) but when it's not, things are fine. So for the moment he's left that unplugged (since people have stopped calling anyway because it works so shittily) and apparently, that'll fix the Internet. But he's going to come back and install a new one so that hopefully we can still have the phone and have the Internet work at the same time. And he also wants to completely reinstall our whole system because he said they've got a much better one now that he wants to upgrade us to. So this will all happen next Tuesday. And, HOPEFULLY, not only will our Internet actually work but it will be much faster than it is now. And then I can stop pulling my hair out over how annoying it is.
