Longest post title ever. Like Fiona Apple long.
Last night/this morning, I had a migraine that was so grand that I wanted to rip my brain out of my head. I had to call out of work today because I hardly slept all night and my head was still a mess this morning. Ugh. I still have twinges, but I’m feeling a little better. Ugh.
This week has been quite busy for me. I’ve hardly been home and when I have been here, I’m trying to write and can’t because people keep calling me. I know I know…I don’t have to answer the phone, but they’ll just keep calling my house line and cell until I pick up. My family and friends are persistant stinkers.
Now for the updates:
- I got a new cell phone and new cell number. I know that people love keeping their numbers, but when I get a new phone I feel that it’s an opportunity to start fresh. Those fuckers that keep calling me, even though I don’t want them to can find someone else to bug. Oh, and I got the EnV. I love it. It took me forever to figure out which phone I wanted, but I settled on this one because of the keyboard and the built in music player. I don’t need to carry both my Ipod and my cell phone anymore.
- i have a bone to pick with Apple. Yes, that Apple. I’m in the process of converting all of the songs I have bought from ITunes to MP3 because these asswipes can’t put their files in a formt that can be used on anything other than an Ipod. Fuck you. I bought the song, let me do what I want with it. I have spent the past few hours burning all of the music I have bought off of ITunes onto a CD and then reloading the songs into Itunes so that I can convert the music. I’m then deleting all of the files that are retarded from Apple. They should reimburse me for my fucking time. I’m never downloading another song from ITunes. I will make Amazon my place for music. They have more of a selection anyhow.
- To provide you all further evidence that I am a dork, I will tell you what my ringtone is for my new foxy phone. It’s Hedwig’s Theme from Harry Potter. Yeah, you wish you were as cool as me.
- I’m reading the book The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula le Guin. It’s brilliant. I want everyone who loves to read to go to the bookstore, pick up the book, and read the first couple paragraphs of the book. If that brilliant peace of writing doesn’t ensnare you, you have no soul and you’re dismissed from my blog.
- The show Fringe is fucking awesome. It has, so far, replaced the whole in my heart left by The X-Files has left. I love this shit. Crazy, out of this world, impossible, and tests the limits of our beliefs and imagination. This is what television and entertainment is about.
That’s all. Have a great weekend!
i want to get a new cell phone..not sure what I want either. I like the iPhone and or a Blackberry type..but I hardly use my phone as a phone (it has no camera/internet etc) so I am not sure it is all worth the expense.
kudos on the Fiona Apple reference too..
March: It’s worth it. Trust me.
3 quick things cause work’s super-busy (since I’m the only competent one):
- I have the orange enV; her name’s pumkin (not pumpkin). I love, love, LOVE it!! Love the txting & the music. You can even create playlists if you want, but I usually just listen on shuffle.
- abHOR iTunes; same reason. I had to burn all the songs from albums I BOUGHT onto a cd, then rip them off the cd back onto my hard-drive in order to put them on my mp3 (on my enV).
- love/hate Fringe. Love the show (I loved JJ Abrams & Alias). Hate that I now have to make time for a new show in my schedule.
ok, one more…. part of the reason I adore you is b/c you’re a woman most times, but you are so FREAKIN cute too! You’re just as corny as me (referring to ringtone thing).
yllwdaisies: I love that name. Mine is just the black one. But, I love him. His name….let’s see…shit, I should make people give me suggestions on what to name him.
Itunes can suck a duck. Really.
I feel the same way. I’m now a TV whore. Thank goodness for DVR because I have a rule that I don’t watch TV during the week. I break it sometimes, but most of the time I don’t watch anything. I read and write.
I’m glad that my dorkiness is cute. Everytime my phone rings, I know I grin like an idiot.
“…but when I get a new phone I feel that it’s an opportunity to start fresh. Those fuckers that keep calling me, even though I don’t want them to…”
Well, that explains why you don’t take my calls anymore. heh. I knew you were too good to be for real.
Effortlessly Average: You never had my cell number, so none of that. And you had better have been trying to be funny with that comment because you weren’t categorized with ‘those fuckers’. But if you were serious, I’d have to rethink that.
I’m not too good to be anything. I hate that shit.
Oh yeah! Bownk bownk! OHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Bownk bownk!
That’s referring to Fringe, of course! I fucking LOVE that show and we’re just two eppies in! I was another X-Files freak (though I hated the finale and so feel a little ripped off. Loved the movie, of course) but I think Fringe has it’s own identity and isn’t JUST an XF clone. Specifically, the fact that it appears we’re going to be needing some kind of whacked out crazy assed experiment to solve the case each week. I love that facet!
It adds to your innate coolness that you’re also a fan. >:-P
Shadowdog: I believe that is the first time I got a bownk bownk on this here little blog. I agree that it’s its own entity, not an X-Files clone. Funniest part is the seat warming part…I laughed hard.
*found you through clickthroughs from a comment you left but can’t remember where because I’m a dork*
We are an anti-apple family. Hubs is a comptuer tech/IT manager where he works and can’t abhor apple/mac, so iTunes was never an issue here. I was using
musicsnatchmusicmatch for a while but when I upgraded from a 50 pound dell to sansa had to switch to Rhapsody. Selection isn’t all that and I had the same problem when buying tunes. I can play them on my computer, but can’t transfer to my mp3 and can’t even burn them. Fuckers.I’m kind of old school with my tech toys. I don’t need anything like a crack-berry since I don’t need to connect to the web on the go. Instead I have my verizon phone (I don’t even know what kind it is), my pocket pc and my mp3 in my purse. Maybe streamlining it would make more sense, but don’t you run the battery way down just using your phone as an mp3 too? I suppose I could research that.
Since I don’t have anyone bugging me on my phone, I don’t need/want to change the number. It would be too much of a pain in the ass to let everyone know my new number.
Manic Witch: Welcome to my goofy little blog. If I carried that much stuff I’d lose something. I know it. The batteries in these new phones are amazing.
You’re lucky you don’t have anyone bugging you on your phone. It’s been so nice to have only people I want to talk to ringing my cell.
I love the fact that I don’t have many people calling me. And since everyone knows it’s very rare for me to answer they expect to get my voice mail. In fact, I’ve had people actually say that they fully expected to leave me a message and now that I’ve answered they’re all flustered and forget why they’re calling. It’s quite funny sometimes.
We have Fringe recorded but just haven’t had a chance to watch it yet. I was pissed that I forgot all about it the first night, thank god for the special rerun of it. Otherwise we would’ve only had the last half hour of the premier. I’m hearing really good things about it so I’m looking forward to finally being able to watch.
Yeah, of course I was joking. Being a wise ass is what I do. I hope by “those fuckers” you mean something bad, cuz if it’s what I my male brain hopes, I want to be one (in which case I want to know what form I need to fill out to get on that list). heh.
Fringe ROCKS!! I’m totally addicted and I’m trying to convince my boyfriend it’s awesome. But I kinda grossed him out when I told him about the rapidly aging baby coming out of that lady and dying an old man 30 minutes later. He just needs to watch it because he loved X-Files.
Ooooh! I have that SAME EXACT PHONE!!!!!
In green.
And I love it, too!
You have fantastic taste!
lol
Fringe was awesome again this week! Bownk bownk! heh heh heh.
“Oh. That’s terrible news!” LMFAO! I mean, I’ve even lost two precious long term relationship dogs in the past eight months and it ripped my heart out and even I thought that was an incredibly funny line. God I love this show!
I love your site!
