One of my college buddies is moving to LA next month so we convened in DC to pretend we were still in school and give him a proper send off.

The theme of the weekend ended up being "Jesus we can't drink or stay out like we used to" highlighted by me having to pull over on the freaking Beltway so one of my old roommates could throw up into the bushes on the side of the road at like 3:30 PM yesterday after eating Mongolian BBQ for lunch.

I saw the Droid X at Best Buy yesterday and thought the same thing....too bulky even though it's thin....

The next few months will be teeming with new/better Androids, so don't feel rushed.

How do you feel about the Samsungs? I'm considering the Captivate over an iPhone.

I'm assuming this is a permanent or semi-permanent move...

Are you filing for mail-forwarding? If so, you'll probably need to change it within a couple months (insurance company finds out). Otherwise, states generally have a set time within which you're supposed to update it, but you could probably wait until your current registration is about to run out before doing so.

On two other notes, check insurance rates because it might be cheaper to change it right away if the decrease in premium is great enough. Secondly, if you're on a loan that is about to be paid off, you might want to convert it before you're issued a title--especially if you think you're going to move back to PA at some point. It's a lot easier to re-register in PA if you have a PA-title than if you've re-titled the car in a different state.

It's almost certain to be cheaper to insure your car in North Dakota than PA, but maybe not a lot cheaper. It's also likely to be pretty easy to do all that stuff in ND. I know that when we moved to Arkansas, we got new plates, drivers licenses, registration and registered to vote in less than 45 minutes. Just don't go at the very end of the month.

my boss's husband brought earplugs to the creed concert the other night. good thing, too, because it was way louder than brad paisley.

Also good because Creed sucks.

Well, I'm on my parents' plan here still so I'm not sure it'll be cheaper to get my own, but we'll see. I'm thinking of waiting until i get there to do it, too since I have a month to find a place, figure out a way to move all my stuff out there, and afford all of this.

I think I may have found a place today, which is good.

Wait, can you give more details? You're saying if I know your number, I can look at all your info? I'm still not clear why a new password can't stop the problem (understanding that passwords get shared with sig others)

"bill cosby died" is trending on twitter. i don't think he actually did, though.

She had my old password. It isn't an issue anymore.

Is that song about pina coladas and getting caught in the rain about being gay?

I thought it was about a bored married couple that ironically cheated on each other with each other, but ya know those crazy 80s

I have a weird looking bug bite on the inside of my left elbow. If my arm falls off I'm going to be so pissed.
