The Wrath of Something-Or-Other

Standing out on my front porch, smoking a cigarette as the second round of storms rolled in... The north texas area got pummelled last night. Headlines and Websites said the usual: "Thousands without power" "clean up crews working overtime" etc...and tonight was the encore. Pretty sedate comparatively speaking. No golf ball size hail or anything like that. All in all - nature kinda struck out on the sequel, IMHO.

Except...

I think that somehow Cartoon Network or I have angered some obscure weather god.

Twice now Aqua Teen Hunger force was interrupted by the storm being too dense for the satellite signal to get through. Last night and then again tonight. All through the storm otherwise, signal was fine... made it through VH-1's Most Metal Moments with no problem (potato chip television at it's finest!) Futurama and Family Guy came through in DVD clarity. ATHF starts up... and the signal fries out - first the sound starts to stagger... then the video artifacts then - The thrice damned "SEARCHING FOR SIGNAL" came up.
So once again, I was denied ATHF, until I get my lazy ass down to the video store and buy them.
