Well, I did it! I mailed in all the necessary paper work and the check for my booth space! A little drama was experienced along the way. I saw that the Association is located right on 9th Ave, not very far from my apartment - I would've felt much better delivering it in person, making sure everything was there and properly done, etc. etc., so I called their number to make an appointment. No answer, so I left a message. Thursday night rolls around and I wait until I know their office is open and call again. No answer. It took them a while to respond to my initial email, so I figured I'd give them one more day to call me back. Friday night arrives, no news from them, so I call and again no one picks up. I don't leave a message. Instead, I grab my papers and traipse on down to their office, which on their message is open every night 6-10pm. I knock on the door several times and wait around 5-10 minutes, hoping someone will answer. No luck. Irritated, I head back home (picking up strawberries, 2 boxes for $3 along the way) to get an envelope and stamp, and on my way out to meet some friends I popped that sucker in the mailbox. Booyah!
So, I've been incredibly frustrated with Time Warner Cable recently. They keep jacking up my internet bill, and when I call them about trying to get it back down, or at least understand why it keeps getting increased, they transfer me four times. Finally, at least 1/2 hr later, I'm finally talking to someone who kinda seems to know what's going on. Another 20 minutes later, I've heard about their system, and how when I began their services 3 YEARS ago, it was at a promotion price. Ok. Got that. I knew after the initial 12months it would go up. However, every 8-12 months it KEEPS going up - and apparently will keep going up until I'm paying $60/mth for just internet! Waaah?! It's a pretty ridiculous system, and their customer service BLOWS. I was so irritated I was looking around at different providers and hoping to switch. Alas, every where else also seems to have terrible "deals" and "promotions". And did I mention the actual internet has been utter bollocks these past three days and they won't be around until Saturday to give me a new box? They said they'd pro-rate the day it wasn't working - so they better not charge me for this entire week, seeing as how only Facebook works. I try to use pinterest, check my email, watch my tv shows, update my sites, yadda yadda ya - nothing. It's constantly not connecting and is soooo frustrating. Saturday afternoon can't come fast enough.
Do you know what's exciting? Life. New ideas. New projects. Learning awesome songs. Having good auditions. Having a wonderful little cat. Having an amazing roommate that tolerates the little cat when he's not so wonderful. Food and all the myriad of creations to be invented. Color changing lights. Dancing. Hot chocolate. Art. Adventures - in new countries and around town.
