Bullshit
I've been saying that a lot. This is bullshit, that is bullshit; whatever way fits the situation. You know, a lot of things are bullshit and people let it slide or ignore their part in it. Nothing major and don't worry, I hold no recrimination for anyone who would be reading this. Bullshit is just the theme for this week.
This week I've been trying to get rid of regular shit too. I managed to procrastinate for a while but I finally took a bunch of stuff to solid waste, including my monitor. Several monitors, lots of them but included was the one attached to my computer. My computer was on and doing stuff at the time, I just wanted to get rid of it. It was an Apple 20" monitor circa 1994 and it was starting to degrade, the UPS beeped current overdraw warnings when I turned the monitor on and the picture was kinda pink most of the time. Everyone else must have had the same idea because the electronics shed at solid waste was packed full of CRT monitors. I left them two more and took the only LCD monitor they had :-p Naturally since it was being thrown out it doesn't work but details like that are less important than the net savings in mass and volume over the two I ditched.
I tried to get a better cell phone. T-Mobile came out with a Wi-Fi cell combination that seamlessly transitions from internet phone to cell and any call initiated on the internet is free. Unfortunately T-Mobile doesn't sell phones in Ithaca, they have no store and no coverage. Even the salesperson at BestBuy didn't recommend the few T-Mobile phones they sell. Looks like I'm stuck with the evil empire (Verizon) unless I want an iPhone.
I'm very likely going to fly to Spokane Washington the middle of next week and stay for a bit. Anyone on the West coast want to do something? (Lucas it's pretty much down to you, I think you're the only one who lives on the west coast and might ever read my LJ.)
