I’ve spent all day with this new phone, and I’m still mildly cussing and swearing under my breath.
Maybe it’s time for an audiobook. Hrm, Dark Tower Vol. III seems a good choice.
Ah, better.
Why am I swearing? Even if it is the Jesus phone, it’s a new, blank, pristine, unused and untracked Jesus phone. After using my stupid Razor for, what, four years now, I have 96 contacts and 135 phone numbers to move over.

I finally did it – I picked up an iPhone today. After years of talking about it, dreaming about it, praying for it, begging my boss for it, hoping for it…
I got sick of waiting and just did it. Thank gawd for tax returns.
It seems paradoxical to get one now, at a time when Verizon and AT&T have a full-blown ad war waging across the television screens and radio channels, accusing each other of having the worst networks since wireless communication was invented, but I have good reasons:

I received the e-mail from the Perpich Center for Arts Education in the middle of December.
I was busy, so I set it off until I wasn’t busy.
I’m glad I got un-busy today, because I really enjoyed going to see the old high school, as well as spend a couple of hours talking to students and reinforcing the concept of how important it is to use the school for what it will teach.
I don’t know if I touched anyone personally, I hope I did, I really went out there to see the place running on a normal schedule. Well, as normal as it gets with Alumni Day on the books.
But I got to speak frankly with some students, give them answers towards my successes and my failures.
And I’m glad.
Have fun, readers.
Skåll!!!

Wow. Long time, no post. Well, that’s been an overall pattern of most of my friends, and I am just such a follower of crowds. I mean, the trenchcoat and dress shirt with tie and waistcoat and all. ;)
What gives? Life is just such a grind, and instead of overcoming difficulties I’ve become a whiney bitch. I work to please other people and haven’t honestly looked to myself for a while now. I thought moving into my new apartment would’ve kicked off a more realistic view of how I’m taking care of myself, but no – not really. It just gave me a place to do it in.
So, I took two weeks for vacation, and I’m just taking care of things that have piled up around the apartment and resetting my mindset. Since I’m resetting the N8-OS, why not do an OS upgrade on my laptop?
Today I woke up and shouted to the world, “Snow Leopard – here I come!”
Then I groaned, ’cause hangovers suck.
