(no subject)
Just sitting here, sipping on a Strongbow (England's Dry Cider(tm)) and eating pretzels. Feeling very british. Or very midwestern overweight male that ran out of beer and found this cider stuff in the back of the fridge from his wife's bridge party last month. Not sure which.
Anyways, went to jiu jitsu tonight and it was AWESOME. I got to "roll" for the first time, which is what sparring is called in JJ, and it was alot harder than I thought it would be. But I did pretty well considering I'm a rankless white belt! It was so much fun, though I'm a little sore and got a bloody lip (which just enhances the "i'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey" craziness).
The reason why I'm posting is because I'm bored and waiting on my roommate to get home so we can finish our House Season 1 disc and send it back to netflix and start on season 2 soon. I really want to see this last episode. I wish she would hurry home.
Let's see... In other news, I dropped my phone one too many times. I knew this day would come someday. I loved my little phone - so tiny, so rugged, almost scandinavian in its efficiency (actually, isn't Nokia scandinavian?). Anyways, it now has no external speaker capabilities, meaning no speakerphone, no ringing, and, most importantly and the reason why I won't just keep using it - no alarm clock. So I've been late to work... which isn't really anything new, but now I have a palpable excuse, one that doesn't include mumbling and apology. I went to the Cingular kiosk at the mall (after going into the real store and seeing it was so crowded it would have taken hours) and saw that the only non-flip Nokia they had was the 6030, a huge black monstrosity (black is bigger, it seems), that I hated from the moment I saw it, but I hate motorola phones more, and I hate flip phones more. Well, I thought I hated them more... but I don't, apparently, because I returned the black monstrosity the next day and ordered the only other nokia phone cingular carries, the Nokia 6102i. Hasn't come yet, but we'll see if my hatred of the flip-ness presents itself. I'm hoping the shininess of a new phone, plus the excitement of having a gadget shipped to me, and getting to open it and peel the plastic wrap off the shiny bits... well, I'm just hoping.
