consumerism

It doesn't seem fair that pregnant women are required to do this without the reward of sitting down for a few drinks afterward. Has anyone ever died in a baby superstore while registering - just laid down on the cement floor and given up their will to live?

timing

i am THISCLOSE to having a new phone in hand. as of 8:42am it was, i am sure, lovingly placed on a fedex truck, headed west on us-50. it was actually supposed to arrive on friday. irritating, yes; but then, what's a few more days?

pulled my current phone out at lunch today. the phone itself seems to make and take calls, but the screen: it is dead. woe is me.

at first glance, this may seem like perfect timing. but how the hell am i supposed to get 150+ phone numbers off of my phone WITHOUT A FREAKING SCREEN.

option #1: buy a stupid data cable for a DYING phone.

option #2: just wait for everyone to call ME.

i'll probably end up going with option #2, since i am both lazy and cheap. besides, if i can't find your number in my excel address book, then i suppose i don't call you much, do i?

i was planning on entering numbers manually and chucking rarely used ones... but this isn't exactly what i had in mind.

meh.

o holy night

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, o night when Christ was born
O night divine, o night, o night divine!

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother,
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim!

Words by Placide Cappeau, 1847. Music by Adolphe Adam, 1847. Translation by John Sullivan Dwight, 1855.

hypothesis

today i have come to the conclusion that the increase in the number of accidents during the midwest winter months is not, in fact, due to conditions of snow and ice; no, i believe that we actually become dumber when the temperature drops below fifty-five degrees fahrenheit, regardless of precipitation. and the last minute shopping factor doesn't help any, i'm sure. on my rainy drive to lunch today, i passed no less than four accident scenes. it's not like i have that far to drive. and seriously, it's just rain, people.

it's december! time to freak out!

i'm beginning to think maybe i should be worried about my four-and-a-half hour drive "home"?
