One of the few sites they don't block is blogger. This is nice, because it would be a real pain to write anything of substance on my suckberry's delinquent touchscreen keypad. On that note, I have given serious consideration to breaking my contract and going with the iPhone. My blackberry storm is such an overpriced piece of dung. They shouldn't even be allowed to sell them anymore. We'll see. Maybe the 4G will come out for verizon and I won't have to break my contract? I'm not exactly against the droid, but (A) don't want to spend $500-some bucks for a new phone, and (B) I'm a mac-whore. The iPhone would most likely plug into my macbook and make life easy. I'm terrified to plug my blackberry into my macbook, because I have had three friends tell me that after doing so, their blackberry contact list went kaboom.
The Admazing Race is later today. So far, I know that I have Shanna Savage, former Starmaker Machinery founding member, and Julie Hill, illustrator extraordinaire, on my team. Team COOL, by the way. We may be joined by Ben Davis of Bad Veins. Could you think of a better team? Didn't think so. We will be armed with smartphones, smart people, bicycles, and a lackadaisacal attitude about the whole affair, which may end up paying off in the long run.
By the way, what do we win if we win? Bragging rights? A free membership for next year? A one year subscription to the jelly of the month club? A h0t date with Kevin's mom? On that note, a lifetime's prescription for chlamydia treatment?
Okay, that was harsh.
Man, I really am bored, aren't I? I may have helped like three people today, and have spent the rest of the time texting, tweeting, checking facebook, and reading about the gulf oil spill.
I really don't know why I am reading this much about it. It's like, all of this information is just making me angry at big oil. I'm doing nothing to help the problem. I really ought to like shut up and go down there to help with the clean-up effort. Maybe BP should pay companies like PNC to give their employees an extra paid week off if that week is used to join a gulf clean-up team. I would do that in a heartbeat. I think a part of why I am so obsessed with reading about gulf oil stuff is because of that whole sense of being unable to help. I mean, realistically, I can't just pack my bags, hop in my car, go down to Louisiana and help. I'm sure people would take me, but I'm not sure my car can handle that kind of a trip, and I can't afford the plane ticket right now. Now, if BP were to provide the plane ticket and housing? I'm in. Hell, I'd live in the back of a car or a trailer or share bunks in a gymnasium. It's not like I didn't sleep on the floor during Drum Corps Tour. My back might be a bit more protesting than it was when I was 19 years old, but whatev.
Well, I am going to sign off from this ramble session now. Only one more hour until I'm out of this graveyard! Watch it get ridiculously busy RIGHT AT 12:45...
