Last day off for a while. Fighting the urge to go get drunk at the 12 hour happy hour at Waxy O'Connors. Trying to stay constructive, but I think I know how this is going to end.

Academia can be cruel.

the thing is, after working at the PMA for a while, I'm totally over the whole "cool place to work" thing. I'd much rather work another hour a day with boring ass materials but make an extra 15K

Housh,
Come to Miami. Maybe work at the World Erotic Art Museum.

i applied they said my resume was too short

Apparently AT&T doesn't realize how ridiculously unlikely it is that a friend of mine would be on Who Wants to be a Millionaire and then unexpectedly call me for advice on the million dollar question on my cell phone. If being able to talk on your cell while browsing the internet is all you've really got (and these are the types of commercials you're using to promote it), you might as well cash it in.

which reminds me, if i ever get on that show the bsg crew will be my phone-a-friend and all you nerds will have to get together in a big room with your laptops and start googling like crazy when i call in

i can't decide who to pick as the organizer, though. leaning toward barry jive as the experience will not be unlike the cacophony a dispatcher must deal with and sort out

I haven't seen the commercial, but I think it's worth mentioning. I don't even like to shut the internet down and I spend the majority of my downtime in my apartment screwing around on the web. It would suck if I missed all the calls and texts during those times.

with vz call and texts will come through whilst web surfing FWIW, you just can't continue the data activity.

I would like to be on a quiz show where the $1,000,000 question is "what's the capital of Peru?"

I don't know about game shows, but my parents called me and asked me for directions to someplace before and I was able to look them up on my iPhone while I was on speaker phone with my dad. That was pretty intense.

Sadly it's easier than naming half the capitals in our own country....

I don't know how the hell I ended up listening to this, but I've now played the song about 100x in the last day.

Maybe some day, I'll think of what to say,
Maybe next time I'll remember what to do! (do, do, do)
She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell,
Said she'd do it all again
She promised not to tell!

If I get drunk well,
I'll pass out on the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
(and she said) It's OK boy cause
You know we'll be good friends and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer

The City of Harrisburg
The City of Trenton
The City of Wilmington
The City of Albany
