Still no reads for the character list! Is that thing INVISIBLE or something? :(

Got up today to have Dad tell me that there was a notice left on our door from Charter (our suck-ass cable company). Seems they were going to shut us off for nonpayment today (nothing new), but since nobody was home they would wait until tomorrow. ??? First off, since when do they service on Saturdays? Second--since when do they see if anyone is home before shutting us off! I know from experience--whether you're there or not, they SHUT YOU OFF. No knock on the door or anything. If you didn't pay, then you didn't pay.

Wait until someone is home, tomorrow? What's up with that? ~>:/ Has Charter gone soft? Dad suggested maybe they had to because their service is so lousy. Well, that would be believable! They are HORRID!

I haven't even seen a cable bill in weeks, and told Dad so. He hasn't seen any car insurance bills either. Greeeaaaat. That means Ma probably put them in the car and "forgot" about them. I'm going to have to tell her she'd better be home tomorrow or that cable is going off!

"But I have to worrrrrk."

Yah. Sure.

Well, I went to AskMe to beg for pictures of Kooler, to find a fierce flamewar battling on the Japanese Animation board. Jeeeeesh. People will flame about anything, anywhere! Once I caught a war on the GEOLOGY board! Can you believe it?? Where the hell do these people come from anyway...

But I have yet to find some decent pics of Kooler. Darn it. I found a tiny one at Planet Namek but it must have been his fifth, final form, and it was just his face; couldn't really make him out. I want to see him in his fourth form, his "Frieza" form. I bet he looks really cool. HA!! Oo, I just made a bad pun without knowing it!!

Well anyway, should they ever dub his movies and bring them over, I just know they'll change his name to Koola. And I know that, according to the pattern, that's the name I'd end up going with too. But "Kooler" looks so much better in print; so that's what I'm using right now.

I'll revise if I can ever SEE WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE!
