today e leaves for xmas at home, so i'll be going to my mom's house until she comes back. it'll be weird, but hopefully wonderful. i love my mom dearly, and we've grown so much in the past 15 years that we have a lot more fun together. but it's weird how much i've started to feel like e's is home. i mean, it's obviously not, as she has her own rules and peculiarities which totally aren't mine, but with my desk and two computers here, it just seems very homey. anyway, i'm going to miss the hell out of e while she's gone. and when she gets back, it'll be our 1 year anniversary! isn't that wild?
in other news, i was introduced to this australian band called airbourne which sounds *exactly* like fellow australians ac/dc. they're awesome! and the best part is that e likes them possibly even more than i do -- yet another reason why my gf is totally a win. she likes sweet water, too, which is something i haven't experienced with a girlfriend for years.
and do you have an iphone and want to get your smses off? impossible, i know, except not anymore!
digidna has this product called "diskaid" which can take a lot of things off of an iphone or ipod, including smses! i used it when i sold my old iphone so i can keep them all for posterity. their other products are pretty useful, too. it's nice -- you used to have to jailbreak to do all these sorts of things, but their products just work.
i've had four phone interviews in the past two business days, and they went ok. none of them matched the job descriptions that my recruiter sent me which was a total fail, especially the job at amazon whose description was for a client-side job (yay!) but actually was for a back-end c++ job (fail). so i had to pull all this c++ knowledge out of thin air without any studying of the language for months. it was obnoxious. two of the companies have really useful products, though, and we know how much i appreciate usefulness. we'll see. we'll see...
how much more can i ramble?!?!? i guess i'll stop. time to drive e to work. (yes, boys, i'm such a good boyfriend that i drive my gf to work, pick her up after work, go get her coffee and croissants, and take out her garbage and recycling.)
