so you've heard everyone and their momma with those fancy schmancy ringtones. you hate them. i hate them. but now you can be one of them! yay!
in the real world, you have to pay ridiculous amounts for a cell phone, then you need to pay ridiculous amounts to keep service of the phone. and on top of that, they want you to pay money to get those fancy ringers on your phone! ridiculous!
so in the interest of wasting hours at home learning useless computer skills, i've figured out how to wap-enable parts of my site and put some ringtones there. SO, point your phone's browser to http://wap.chairmanlau.com/wapindex.wml.
yay.
right now there's only weak versions of britney's toxic, kanye's jesus walks, and rick james' give it to me. i'll open it up for suggestions/requests.
or, as always, point your phone's browser to http://wap.chairmanlau.com for the wap-enabled blog page. yay.
ok that's all.
virgin mary's face on grilled cheese. it ebayed for $28,000. check it, people. 28 THOUSAND DOLLARS.
we all need to eat more grilled cheese.
while ridiculous, it IS pretty cool that it hasn't molded. if that's true.
maybe we can market a baby jesus waffle iron? get jesus's face on your breakfast!
ok. preparing for eternal damnation...
there's an article on technologyreview.com about plasma tvs. it doesn't talk about how cool they are or how they're space-saving and beautiful or how good their picture quality is. it takes a step back and considers what's going on. it says how plasma tvs, on average, use over 4 times as much electricity (1000 vs. 233 kilowatt-hours annually). if people adopt plasma screens as the way to go, we could be in for some trouble. trouble both in terms of supply (e.g. fairly recent blackouts in california) or environmentally (more energy consumption requires more energy production means more pollution).
after that article, i went on to this one: The Conservation Bomb. I've always considered myself someone sympathetic to the pro-environment fight, but not someone too crazy about it. but things aren't getting better. things aren't even staying at the same level of bad. it might be well past the time when we all become more aware and supportive of stuff that has to be done.
'cause, really, who's gonna take care of our planet? you think we can just trust our president to do it for us? (check this)
not me.
so i haven't felt like writing. i've been feeling a whole lot of bleh lately. and that hasn't really changed all that much. but i did spend the weekend doing some fun stuff. so here's the list:
i went to dinner at my old coworker's house. he made dinner and i got to see all the renovations to his place that he had told me about for months and months while we worked together. he got me all caught up on the office politics going around and how the old company's doing. it was kinda grown up. no TV watching. no irresponsible beer drinking. yes, we had jello shots, but only because they had extra from their halloween party.
we then went to see "national treasure". it was pretty good. it's stocked full of implausibles and improbables. but it's still fun.
i didn't sleep well. i haven't slept well all week. but saturday was a nice break from having to be awake. i woke up around 10 and went to pick up some dimsum. after filling up with some tasty food and some college football, i brushed teeth and went back to sleep. i slept for another 4 hours. good good.
i finished off the night with a quick trip to kmart, then two movies. i started with "the incredibles". you've heard how good it is. it's true. it's that good. go see it. you'll like it a lot.
after that finished, "bridget jones" was starting. i hadn't seen the first one, but people said it was good. and hey, it's a bonus movie. they're the best kind. it was ok. i like hugh grant. i enjoy the fact that you can mumble that much and get paid that much at the same time. if i speak that mumbly, i'd get yelled at.
sunday was a trip to the north shore to watch the first jewel of the triple crown of surfing. it was hot and sandy and the beach was cluttered with both hot women and older women with riduculous fake boobs. these poor women trying desperately to cling onto their assumed past attractiveness. it's a lose-lose for them. but if you're someone that is ok with taking the good with the bad, then you wouldn't complain that much. the surf was pretty big, but kid of sloppy. there was this girl there from my highschool a year or so younger than me. and her boyfriend/husband. and her TWO children. the kids were super cute, but frightenly old.
and that brings us to today. i'm tired and surprisingly productive, until this blog posting, that is. when will this desire for naps end? i really need to get my ass running. the marathon is in just under 3 weeks. time to get scared/concerned is now.
i still just don't feel like writing. bleh. but here's some pics! yay!
these are pics from the boston trip, but not stuff from the actual game, which you've already seen.
um...yeah. that's all.
ok bye
so if you didn't know, my birthday was yesterday. yes, happy birthday to me. i had a pretty relaxing weekend. i didn't want to have a big party. my last few weekends have been filled with things i've committed to and places that i need to be at.
i actually spent all of saturday doing some boring grownup stuff. i got new tires on my car. whee. i also went to lowes and planned out my new kitchen cabinets. oh, and the day before, i got a new toilet installed. all of these grownup presents. fun fun.
i sat down here at the computer feeling like writing a lot. but now that i'm here and monday night football is on, i don't feel like writing so much. i just went surfing. i should run. i should do pushups or something. ugh. all these "should"s. it's my birthday week. i think i'm gonna do some "could"s. like, i could sit here and have a beer and dinner and watch the game. nice.
sorry about being lame and not writing words and feelings and ideas. i've been putting pictures together. it's more time consuming than it should be.
let's look at pretty pictures of my trip to the world series instead of realizing how this election will leave us on the fast track to hell.
