only about half the people i talk to at work know their own phone number.
that would be astounding on its own, i'd think, but what really sweetens it for me is that they didn't think they'd need it at a cell phone store.

this halloween, i'm going as a dumbass who ran into a door.
let's be honest, my amazing discipline and catlike reflexes go to shit when i am offered hawt secks. stumbling in the dark toward the bed after an obligatory toothbrushing (considerate aren't i?) i stumbled over a mini-trampoline (yes, my girlfriend has a mini-trampoline in her room; no, you can't have her) and faceplanted an outward angled corner of her wall. i quickly learned how amazingly the human body works. my eyebrow, upon impact, deployed like an airbag full of bloody blister fluid. although not unconcious, i came to standing in front of the bathroom mirror wiping blood out of my eye, having a solid flashback of the last round of Rocky. only not as cool because i'm just a clutz and i haven't been blessed with carl weathers's holy glow.
on the bright side, pity sex abounds.
i'm not above pity.

gettin all tech on yo' ass
got a new phone last week, one blackberry pearl II, red.
i will offer a photo review of my new phone below.
so anyway, i'm officially a crackberry addict. email, IM, web access, and twenty different ways to use the embedded GPS receiver. i type even faster on this hybrid keyboard than i did on the full QWERTY on my Q9. they have some totally ridiculous applications for this phone, too. i can blog from the phone, upload phontos and videos to facebook or whatever. it's fun.
but since i am also a linux nerd, this has created some heartache. in regards to linux support for blackberry, Research In Motion has basically offered a debian install package that, upon install, displays a picture of the entire blackberry staff banging your mother while giving you the finger.
as a result i've had to reformat my hard drive, resize the big partition to put a tiny windows install on 5 gigs of the computer. while i was there i reinstalled on the big partition, finally trying something beside ubuntu, i intstalled a flavor of ubuntu, gOS.
and it rocks. it has all the google apps inbedded, along with google's mac dock ripoff all bouncy at the bottom. i tried fedora for a minute. it sucks. deal with it.

people underestimate cats
"When cats walk or climb on your keyboard, they can enter random commands and data, damage your files, and even crash your computer. This can happen whether you are near the computer or have suddenly been called away from it.
PawSense --> is a software utility that helps protect your computer from
cats. It quickly detects and blocks cat typing, and also helps train your cat to stay off the computer keyboard"
...silly people. they think this will work? i don't really have a witty aside for this, except maybe to point out that the only reason we still claim dominion on this planet is because cats haven't developed opposable thumbs.
fantasy football
i just listened to the other two guys i work with talk about fantasy football for about an hour. i didn't have anything useful to say about the subject, so instead i told them about how much better fantasy football would be if they owned the "fantasy" aspect a little more, and drafted more imaginary elements on their teams.
i, for one, think a wizard would make an excellent quarterback. beside the obvious strategic edge and arguable leadership qualities we've come to expect from wizards like gandalf and dumbledore (and to a lesser extent, gargamel,) they could revolutionize other aspects of the sport as well. qb to sideline communications via the "whisper it to a moth" method, for instance, would be nearly impossible to interfere with. and no more reviewing plays on film! relive the play by gazing into the fucking sieve, bitches.
and another thing, unicorns would make amazing wide recievers. dropping back, god-damned orco throws a hail mary pass deep into the endzone, which is impaled on a unicorn horn. TOUCHDOWN. the ref then calls a penalty for excessive celebration: the unicorn is shooting rainbows out his ass into the stands. unicorns are the terrell owens's of the fantasy world. they can be total pricks.
