My cable box is working ^_^
Dec. 17th, 2003 07:21 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sailorhathorWe got sick of waiting for the cable guy to decide to actually show up, so we went and exchanged the analog box for a digital one ourselves. I hooked it up, but it wouldn't show any more than a black screen, so I called customer service and they finally had someone have me unplug it for 30 seconds. It reset itself, and that worked. ^__________^ Now I have to find something to watch on a channel I never could get on the analog box.
You know what's really really hard to do? Find WebRings for the "Ringu/The Ring" series. EVERYTHING ON THERE IS A RING! You do a search for "ring movie," you get hundreds of results! So, I tried everything to narrow my search. Ringu, Sadako, Dreamworks, Samara, Rachel Keller, Anna Morgan, that ugly little troll boy Aidan, evil well bitches, she never sleeps, NADA! Zero! Zilch! I was shocked. Not even Ringu could get me a hit! "Ring fanfic" got me another "600+ results." And no, I DO NOT want any damn "Lord of the Rings" WebRings! There are other movies with "Ring" in the title, thankyouverymuch WebRing search engine. Does anyone know of *any* Ring-related WebRings? If there aren't any (which really surprises me), this must be remedied.
Time for long-ass Memes.
