My Random Blog

It’s Wednesday and I don’t have a hangover. I thought I’d take a Tuesday off from Sex with Sly (it’s a shooter) and see what it’s like to not feel like ass in the middle of my week. I like it, but not enough to not do the usual next week. Or Saturday night, after work.

I’ve successfully been avoiding Hot Future Doctor. I don’t know how to tell him that I’m just not that into him. Honestly, I don’t feel like having “that talk”. I’m not really good with those. Luckily, he’s been keeping busy with other friends, and family. He’s leaving Sunday and I look forward to having our long-distance friendship back. It was awesome to see him but I’m over it now.

I think I’ll be getting a new roommate in a couple of months. A close girlfriend is looking to move out of where she is now and has asked me if I’d like to get a place with her. I think I would like to. She’s a very cool chick and we get along wonderfully, so if I was gonna live with a friend- it would be her. Looks like it’s gonna be. Think of all the money I’ll save by drinking at home!

In addition to life away from my computer, I’ve been hanging out at Crackberry.com more than I’d like to admit. It started with me and a friend not being able to add each other to our BB Messenger contacts, and sort of took on a life of it’s own. There are some very nice, helpful people there. If you have a Berry- I’m highly recommending checking it out. Just be warned it can become as addictive as a BlackBerry. But only if you’re a big fucking nerd like me.

I’m off to clean my room and do some laundry. I’m a pimp, I know.

Peace and life.

I have been so all-consumed with BlackBerry software, applications, graphic design and themes these days that I seem to have forgotten I even have a blog. I’ve joined a couple of online forums, and have been busy helping other forum users. Mostly with links to new operating systems, since posting them is a big no-no. I’ve always been a modder of Motorola and Nokia phones, so I’m quite new to this BlackBerry world. So far, me likey.

In addition the technical stuff, I have discovered ColorWare. While cruising around BB theme sites, I ran across NancyDrew BlackBerry Themes. (If you’re looking for themes for your BlackBerry, she’s a fucking genius.) She has a photo of her “PinkBerry” there, done by ColorWare, and I almost peed myself. She was even kind enough to answer some of my questions about it. I just don’t know how I’m going to live without my phone for the amount of time it will take them to paint it. I have discovered the crack of cell phones and I am addicted.

Moving on…

Saturday night at work was Saturday night at work. I was SO tired from having been there once already, early in the a.m., but I was actually let off about an hour early. Something that never happens on a weekend night. So, naturally, I had to take advantage.

I don’t know where I got the strength, but I met up with BFF and a few other girlfriends after work. I was still very tired, so I decided to mix my Tuaca with Red Bull. THAT handled my tired problem pretty efficiently. I remained awake and able to drink beer the rest of the night. A good idea at the time, but a bad idea on Sunday. Needless to say, I didn’t go anywhere yesterday. (I had the day off, thank God.)

I spent today (my usual day off) not doing all the shit I meant to do. Like laundry. Between my BlackBerry and my laptop, I’m shocked I managed to even feed myself.

I’m off to do more nerdy shit, then I’ll try to turn my brain down enough to sleep.

Peace, addiction and fun.

So it’s Monday and I’m on the phone with AT&T tech support. Correction: I’m on hold waiting for AT&T tech support. Since my multimedia messaging isn’t working, this is what I have to do today. Joy.

I thought I’d give their online chat support a try but that was completely pointless. She just sent me a link to BlackBerry settings online. Lame.

Now I am on the phone with “Rhonda”, and although she is fabulously nice, she doesn’t seem to have a clue as to what she is dealing with here. Thankfully, Fashion is keeping me from pulling my hair out by Twittering with me while I sit here and hate AT&T.

I’ll update when I have a solution to this issue… Which should take about a week at this rate.

Peace and fuck shit fuck.

EDIT: The person I ended up with at AT&T wasn’t able to fix my problem. So I now have an open “case” and will be getting a call back on the 12th. Now I want that 2 hours of my life back. To see a play-by-play of my super fun experience, check out my Twitter feed.

I’m not too crazy about the itty bitty keys, but my partner in CrackBerry crime says I’ll get used to them. Other than that, and the fact I have to call Tech Support Monday, because AT&T can’t get their multimedia shit together, I am quite pleased with it. It beats the shit out of the Pearl, that’s for sure.

Peace and CrackBerrys.

What a weekend.

Friday night with the girls was super fun. Sex and the City was fabulous, but the way some chicks dressed themselves to see it was a little ridiculous. It was worth it just to see the fashion nightmares that came out to play. Note to those women: While this IS California, it isn’t Hollywood. And Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte could not see you through the movie screen. I’m really not sure what was worse- the fashion show, or the “I [heart] Sex and the City” t-shirts. My girls and I were super excited to see the movie, and loved it- but we dressed like ourselves.

After the movie we commenced to drankin’, hit several local hot spots and celebrated Michelle’s birthday the right way. Saturday night at work I was wishing my head would just explode already.

Last night, after work, drinks sounded like a good idea again. I met up with Sly and we decided to see how much beer our bodies could hold. Turns out they hold a lot. Today I am not feeling that spunky. Thank GOD I don’t have to go anywhere.

On another note, I got a new phone. Again.  I thought I’d try out the BlackBerry since it’s the only kind of phone that I haven’t had yet. That, and Fashion Paramedic adores hers so much that I had nasty phone envy. So I got myself a white Pearl. It’s cute and I like it, but I am considering it my BlackBerry “training” phone. The QWERTY keypad is foreign to me and I’ve gone from texting like I invented it to texting like a 2 year old. I am getting better though. So once I master this one, I’ll upgrade.

Ya know how women are with shoes? I’m like that with phones. It’s a sickness and I need help. But until someone comes up with electronics rehab, I’ll keep getting new ones.

Peace and smartphones.

I had such high hopes when I called AT&T customer service today to get my plan changed. The lady I spoke with was “I got a little drunk at lunch” nice, we confirmed repeatedly what I was getting, and I hung up with a sense of peace and happiness. I found myself mentally high-fiving Kathy (or was it Karen?) all the way to work.

Once home from work, I had more time to play with my new phone and it’s new features. It was then that I realized that I still could not send or receive multimedia and the Internet only worked via Wi-Fi. FACK!

I looked up the settings for both (on AT&T’s Web site) and put them in my phone. Internet: Check. Multimedia: Still no. FACK! The MAIN reason I kicked my iPhone to the curb was because it painfully lacked that feature. To most cell phone users, I’m sure this isn’t a big deal. To cell phone junkies like myself, however, it causes headaches and gas pains.

Soooo… I get to call back tomorrow and find out what the problem is. There are a million things I’d rather do than that, and they are all painful.

Oh yeah, and my voice mail doesn’t work either.

Peace, Brazilian waxes and bee stings.

Oh happy day! Today was the day I was supposed to get my new phone, but I couldn’t wait until today so I actually got it last night, after work. The transaction went very well and the guy was very nice. I got exactly what I wanted and so did he. High five. Oh and he didn’t try to kill me or molest me or anything- so that was nice.

So now, I present to you, fine blog readers… My new (and fabulous) phone: The Nokia N95.

Isn’t it beautiful? *sniff* I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. I love the texting, the multimedia messaging and the camera kicks ASS. It’s a 5 Megapixel digital camera with Carl Zeiss optics, flash and auto focus. It shoots video too. And since I have a 1GB memory card installed as well, I can make long movies and take hundreds of pictures. I think I might faint.

It does a million other cool things, but I want to keep this short so that I can continue playing with it. If you really wanna know, here are the technical specs.

I’m off to continue playing with my new toy.

Peace and cell phone addiction.
