Happy Birthday, 50!
50 Cent's birthday party is tonight, y'all. DRESS TO IMPRESS.
GO shawty, it's yo birfday.
Mouse over. See what happens.
I would go, but when I get dressed, I don't impress anyone. Also, I don't want to get shot dead.
So my friend has gone way over her text message limit today and I have thousands upon thousands of rollover minutes. This made me wonder why you can't do anything with rollover minutes, AT&T? I rarely use more than say 180 - 210 out of my 450 minute plan, so the likelihood that I'll ever crack into my something like 6,000+ rollover minutes is slim. I also don't use most of my 400 text messages. Why can't I turn them into cash and prizes? I mean, I paid for them and I'm going to start doing something I hate (talking on the phone) more just so's I can use them. I should be able to convert like 1,000 minutes into paying off a month or two's bill. Or convert 250 minutes into a month's text package. 4,000 rollover minutes into a fully-loaded U2 iPhone. You better hope I don't own my own phone company one day, AT&T.
Question: If you're listening to a book on tape, what can you say you did after the fact? You can't say you "read" it, because you didn't; you had someone else with a funny voice read it for you. You listened to it, yes, but in a conversation about books, you can't be the douche who raises his/her hand and says, "OH, I LISTENED TO THAT!" I'm just going to say that I read it. It was the unabridged version, so maybe I win over someone who got the dinky hardcover version.
You can definitely tell if you're listening to a shitty book on tape. I assumed it would be just as fun as a good book on tape, but no vocal acrobatics performed by British voice artists can make Labyrinth by Kate Mosse a good book. Books than span more than 2 centuries are rarely good. Books that span almost 8 centuries are asking for trouble. Oh and this book is apparently about the Holy Grail. Yawn. Somebody Else's Daughter by Elizabeth Brundage, however, was very good and chockful of horrible things (like meth!). I thought that the choice to set the story in the Berkshires was amusing, but it was very well played.
To explain the music (soft of):
ETA - Also: I didn't know that the Nazis hated Cubism. I don't know why I'm obsessed with WWII, but I am. Shouldn't everyone be?? I guess not, but it is fascinating.
