Not a whole lot has been going on lately…our office Christmas party and gift exchange was yesterday, and it wasn’t too bad. I got one of my coworkers The Dilbert Principle and she loved it.
The reason I’m up at 9 a.m. is because me and my dad are going to go look for cars. He’s down for Christmas and we’ve been Craigslist-ing it up. It was really cool because last night he was actually on my side about it…I overheard him and my grandma talking and she was all “Well he takes the bus to work and everything and it goes right to the college, I don’t see why he needs a car” and my dad was all “Yeah, it’s fine until he gets mugged again..and he’s going to have to be running between downtown and the college all the time.” I was like, w00t. Finally one of my parents is on my side.
I really miss Adrian, we haven’t seen each other in days…but we should be going to Matthew’s party tonight and such. After my dad and I are done with the car thing, I’m going to ask if he can drop me off at Adrian’s.
I sort of wish that I had a little more time before getting the car, I just about have my credit card paid off (only like $100 left!) and I was going to get a smartphone with Web access and everything…but it’s going to be $60-$70 a month, with the phone costing about $250. The phone ends up being $150 after the mail-in rebate, but I have to have the $100 to loan to them.
I’m getting a T-mobile Dash. It has Bluetooth 2.0, wireless stereo support, wi-fi, microSD expansion up to 2GB, and extremely long battery life (more than a week), which is the main reason I’m switching. My current phone I have to recharge a few times a day and it is always dying, and it has no Internet access or QWERTY keyboard. I already got a brand-new Bluetooth headset for my phone so I can have truly wireless conversations…it’s the Nokia BH-900. The quality of the sound is even good enough to do voice-recognition with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, since it’s a Bluetooth 2.0 device.
My dad just popped in and asked if I was ready. These damn old people get up at the crack of dawn…he’s probably been awake since like 5 a.m….I’d better get ready.
Woot! Arthur is gettin’ a car!
i miss you.
