new phone stuff

Attention all readers…

my cell phone contract with cingular/at&t is up in october and i’ve been waiting all year for it. i don’t want to sign a new contract again, but i am considering switching carriers.

so a question (US only need apply):
what carrier do you have
what do you get for your monthly bill
any phone recommendations

my intial research is looking at verizon and the lg chocolate. although i’m a bit pissed that you have to be 65+ to get verizon’s cheapest plan (wtf, why do seniors get everything?! :P), they offer some better options than cingular and maybe i’ll get more than a bar and a half signal at my house.

the iphone is out of the question so don’t bother. despite my hatred of all things apple, i did see an iphone in use on tuesday and i admit, it’s pretty slick. but not only am i not willing to spend that much money on a phone, i guarantee i’d break the touch screen almost immediately. definitely within a week. so no thanks.

help is much appreciated

what a freaking draining night. nothing i really feel comforting talking about – but it’s not personal in the slightest bit. it’s organizational. it didn’t make me want to quit, so that’s a good thing. it was accompanied by a surprise dinner with an out of towner that was very interesting as well. i actually ate something from the ocean (shrimp) hahah. something interesting – the guest of honor didn’t know what sex offenders were. and i don’t know if that’s a product of being muslim, or a product of being raised in the UK, or what but it was sort of shocking.

and i get to go on a yacht on saturday afternoon. i have nothing to wear on a yacht. mike said i have to go buy a new preppy outfit for the occasion hahahahah. i’m not sure i can force myself to walk into abercrombie or hollister. maybe target has something boat worthy. jk i’m sure i’ll find something buried in my closet.

blahs

i can’t stand the “into the void” video. i never want to be that close up to anyone. yes even trent. lol. did he get his teeth fixed since then?

i feel so crappy. i don’t know what it is. i didn’t eat all that much during the day yesterday – grabbed a bagel before going to the terminal around 6. i’ve survived on less before. once i got home around 8 i had a headache, no surprise. but then i ate more, a sandwich, ice cream, zuccini bread. woke up at 6am feeling super thirsty and barfy. got some water, half hour later i had to get up again and eat. i was all shaky inside, sat on the floor and ate some cereal then back to bed. feel slightly better now, had some turkey and crackers but i still feel so not right. and it’s not even nerves for what is going to go down tonight. i don’t get it.

the aud :(

it’s cold out! yes!! long sleeves and jeans! woo

the aud was deemed unsalvageable (what a joke!) and is being prepped for demolition. hazmat to start “soon” with the demo taking 14 months. why don’t they ever implode things around here. i mean, what a perfect place to implode. 14 months…bah. the city will be complete idiots not to sell the seats out first. i could give them a list of 50 ppl off the top of my head who will go buy whole rows of seats. talk about revenue.

dream

i hate support ribbons.

dreams: i was getting a new tattoo the whole length of my right leg. it was supposed to be just some big swirly design thing. the girl who was doing the tat however was putting flames on me. i guess that was what i asked for, but they were hideous. she started coloring them with red orange and yellow even tho i wanted black only. so that session ended and i was upset and was like wtf. i didn’t know how to tell her that wasn’t what i wanted and she needed to fix it. then i went to mcdonalds with adr1 and was showing her, and it had magically changed to a bridge like structure. the tattoo changed, not mcdonalds. and it looked pretty cool so i was happy again. then leaving mcds we had to go into a parking ramp that was part of a school. we ended up getting locked in with all the other students, the school was holding everyone hostage for some reason. it was mostly people from work inside though. so then there was panic and all that goes with that, and trying to find some way to communicate with the outside world to tell them what was going on and to send cops. all cell signals and internet was blocked and there was no way for us to get help.

also nightmares about giant spiders, and scorpion type things.

so the buffalo bills player who is probably paralyzed from the spinal cord injury sunday…i knew him from work.

britney

aside from recently watching marathons of americas next top model on mtv, i havent watched mtv in years. i don’t really know the point at which i outgrew the channel, but there is absolutely nothing on it that interests me anymore. i have not watched the VMA awards in years either, since i stopped liking anyone relevant in the pop music world. but i had to find a vid online of britney spears opening performance. mainly because i read perezhilton.com and he left an oh so nice message to her on his site hahahaha. i had to see it.

wow did it suck. never a britney fan, i am not afraid to give praise where praise is due. like christina aguilera. she’s fantastic. don’t like her music for the most part but she’s fucking talented. britney. she’s had some good moments i guess, but this was not one of them. we all know she, like most pop stars who dance (ahem jackson family) lip sync. ok no big deal. but she could have at least learned the words to her song to make it slightly convincing. she also didn’t dance. just walked around, and sometimes shook boobs and pelvic thrusted. she got helped around stage by backup dancers. all in all it reminded me of michael jackson at his (recent) worst. she even learned that, hold the mic to your mouth to cover up how bad you’re lip syncing thing, that MJ was always so good at. i could give a shit if she’s popular ever again, but i would hope that SHE gave a shit about it. but from the looks of the “performance”, she doesn’t. oh well. so sad. maybe all the little girls out there who want to be teen pop stars will learn a lesson – don’t marry a loser backup dancer and pop out 2 kids in the prime years of your career. pull a madonna and don’t start having kids til you’re 40.

amusing from an article on the VMAs: “MTV brought the show to Las Vegas for the first time, hoping to reverse a sharp slide in viewership for its awards bash.” maybe more people would watch if the show didn’t completely suck, and the music industry was pumping out artists that were at all good. or if mtv would let trent show a photo of george bush on stage during “the hand that feeds”. hahaha

i’m so hoping i can sleep. pleeaaase let me get a good nights sleep. i have stuff to do tomorrow and i’d like to go find some docs that are suitable for work down on elmwood.
