Somethings in the oven...

There is talk that there might be a new arrival to a new family. I will keep people posted.

So... It rained? When?

Last night, El Paso had one of the worst rain storms in a while. Lightning, thunder, winds, torrential rain... I didn't hear ONE BIT of it. Im kinda glad I didn't leave the top down last night.

STRANGE FINDINGS FROM THE INTERNET XXXXV

It's back to school time across the country, and locally. You might have already seen advertisements flooding the air waves about all the back to school sales and special promotions, which has become somewhat of a quasi-holiday-reason to spend more money than you should. That, coupled with this guy has me reliving my high school days and HATING math and all associated word problems with a passion. I liked my puzzles a little on the dumber shade of difficult.

Now if that didn't get to you enough, there is a new study out saying coffee is linked to... Um... What is that word.... Hold on, it'll come to me...

Maybe this is the reason the jocks from my old school always drank, they figured they'd get better grades... Where's my flask...

The question has always been "Would a rose, under any different name still smell as sweet?" and for the longest time, the same could be said about women's faces. Could a person's name dictate how the brain associates beauty? Well, simple test: Imagine in your mind a woman by the name of Sarah. Now imagine a woman with the name of Hortence. Ok, lets throw a monkey wrench into the equation. What if they were bald?

Some guys are born lucky. Some are born rich. Some... Well... What do you bill this guy to be? Horny? Stupid? Unlucky? Dumbass?

GET BACK TO WORK, SLACKERS!

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
searching for my lost shaker of salt...

Don't you hate when a song gets embedded into your brain and you can't shake it? I was sitting in my cubicle here at the station reading up on my new cell phone when I came across kinda stupid warnings in the instruction manual...

• Don't charge the battery in direct sunlight or high humidity environments, especially bathrooms
• Speak directly into the mouthpiece
• Do not touch the antenna on the phone unnecessarily when the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

Who the fuck charges their cell phone in the bathroom? Another thing, what the hell is it with people speaking into the earpiece and not the mouthpiece? Are you that fucking stupid you can't distinguish up from down? If the concept of up and down blows your mind, cell phone ownership is not for you; Non-toxic paint, a bib and your blankie will suit you more.

The scary thing is if you think those warnings are bad, go to the glove box in your car and pull out the owners manual and read some of the "Basic Instructions and Precautions" and see how daft some people are. There is essentially a drivers ed course book in it to remind people what to do at stop signs...

Oh, and one last thing, I got that stupid Margaritaville song in your head, didn't I?

New phone, new plan - revised -

Well, I didn't end up with Cingular, too many conflicting reports of when service would reach El Paso swayed me away for now. Doesn't mean I don't want the service, I just have to wait the two years for my new provider's contract to run out. Sprint has been good for me so far.

I have also found some interesting features on my phone that are completely worth me going to a new service, including voice dial.
