When It All Goes Slightly Downhill
Not to be all super-mopey-depressed or anything, but between our newly installed digital cable not working (It’s a very bizarre problem..everything seems to work okay except for the channels themselves.

Though sometimes his philosophy is if it doesn’t work you still don’t need a new one).
