All over the place

Hey everybody!

Disclaimer: Because it's been fuh-eva since I last posted, this particular post is going to be all over the place.

Just FYsI.

First off - my lips are dry. Like porn star who-ha dry... and I have no idea why. Maybe it's the lack of rain and drier (sp?) weather. Perhaps it's... something else. I don't know. But thanks to the makers of "Softlips", I should be OK! Thanks, Softlips!

And speaking of thanking products... Thanks, Excedrin. You truly are the headache medicine and don't let anyone else tell ya differently.

So, some cool news. I can play more on my cell on myspace. I know you're excited to hear that! You can only imagine what I must be thinking. Soooo stoked. Additionally, in regards to myspace, I recently reconnected w/a friend I thought I'd never ever see/speak to again. That is truly the best thing about myspace. It's not the pictures nor the music. It's not the ability to create bulletins for large groups of people to see. It's not even the funny/obnoxious comments filled w/completely inappropriate pictures. Nope! Not any of those things. It's the ability to reconnect and/or stay connected to friends no matter where they are.

Had an amusing moment recently, thought I'd share. This is how "fancy" I am not...

Dude: Come over, I'll cook you dinner.

Me: (Sweet! I love to be cooked for!) Well, maybe, you know, if I can.

Dude: I'll grill up some salmon. And not just any salmon. King Alaskan Salmon.

Me: (wha'???) OooOOOooOOO. Well, I like salmon. So, ok. Sure! Do you have ketchup?

Dude: WHAT?!! You can't put ketchup on King Alaskan salmon! I don't know what kind of salmon YOU'VE been eating. Some $1.99 a pound variety, no doubt. But this is special. Only sold at certain times... we're talking about $20 a pound salmon here.

Me: I see. So, no ketchup then, huh?

Dude: I could smack you.

(Mind you, convo was paraphrased... but you get the idea. And when I told this story to my boss, she too was ready to smack me. Maybe I bring that out in people?)

Yeah. BTW, I spend $7 a pound on my salmon. So it ain't like I'm getting frozen cutlets from the freezer section. I do have SOME taste in fish.

Moving on.

Saw my first iPhone yesterday.

Positives:

It's skinnier than I thought it'd be. (Not that skinny makes it better. Hey, I used to be chubbs, I ain't a fatist.)

You can log onto blogger on it. (How do I know? duh. I tried. Hell, that was the first thing I did!)

It's relatively attractive. (I am very picky about my cell phones, so that's saying a lot. BTW, NOT a fan of any of the Razrs.)

Negatives:

The touch pad was a PAIN IN THE ASS. (I may have been able to log onto Blogger, but it took friggin' forever.)

It seemed slow.

I don't have a computer at home (thus no home Internet service), so I wouldn't be able to utilize the iTunes thingy so much. (Which makes me sad... sort of.)

It doesn't feel very "phone like". It very much feels like just some iPod.

And that's about it. I was still tempted tho y'all. How could I not be. The plans are CHEAPER. Which is BS, but whatev. Again... we move on.

So the other day I was in a conference w/my colleagues and boss says to me:

Boss: You write very "pretty". (Referring to my style, not actual handwriting. My handwriting is atrocious!)

Me: Aww, thanks.

Boss: Did you ever keep a journal or the like?

Me: (choking back a laugh) Kind of. I do like to write.

Boss: Well, it shows.

Me: (If you only knew....) Thank you.

Let's see... what else. Oh, surely there is more. I just can't recall this moment. In any case... it's Monday. Crap.

Editor's Note: Also, the salmon was FANTASTIC... it didn't even need ketchup.
