No...Words...Choking...On...Rage

It's raining right now, just like it has been most of the day.
The new season of The Venture Bros. premiered tonight at 10:30.
These two things would seem to be unrelated, and by all rights, should be unrelated.
However, I have the world's crappiest cable company, one that seems to consist of setting up a DirecTV satellite dish and feeding programming out to the various units they provide service for.
Owing to that fact, and the fact that it's raining, approximately one quarter of the channels I'm supposed to receive all say "Error! Satellite Signal Lost. Attempting to retrieve signal."
They've said this for hours and didn't stop saying this even when it stopped raining for a little while.
Among the channels that I'm not receiving, naturally, because we all know how the Universe feels about me, is Cartoon Network, home of the fucking Venture Bros.
Tomorrow I'm calling Adelphia to find out if I was lied to when I was told that I had to use this cable company, as I keep getting Adelphia offers in the mail.
This is exactly why I try to avoid looking forward to things, especially things that I have to look forward to for eighteen months.
