Life's rules

I've been making a list of the rules of life...the ones I think are important. I searched for other people's thoughts on the rules of life and they were all crap like "be the change you want to see". Ugh. So here is a short version of the list:

1. If your friend is really wasted and passing out, lay the friend on their side on the bed, with something propped behind them. If they vomit, they won't choke and die.

2. Fake it til you make it. Looking successful will lead to success.

3. Never bet on a horse that descended from A.P. Indy.

4. If two girls are fighting and you want them to stop, yell "Dyke it out!". Either they will stop, and act embarrassed, or they'll start eating each other out. Both are good.

5. If your entire head can fit in your handbag, it's probably too big. If the majority of your body can fit in your handbag, you look ridiculous- unless you are Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen.

6. Don't trust anyone who doesn't have a checking account.

7. Never move closer to Detroit.

Phone cursed

I don't have a technology problem, that I know of. I'm not one of those retards who can't figure out how to check their voicemail or talk to an automated machine. So why do I have such bad luck with cell phones? Through no fault of my own (of course, because I'm perfect) I've been without my sidekick for almost a month now. Without my Sidekick I am alone and lost in the world, wondering why I don't just bitch Tmobile out and stand in line for an Iphone 2.0.

I wrote them this letter just now. Hopefully it wasn't mean enough to discourage the customer service person from being nice to me.

Hello,

My name is Charlene Appleby and my phone number is 1-800-YOUR-MOM. On May 22nd I received a software update from Tmobile which was designed for a sidekick 4 (I have a sidekick 3) which rendered my phone inoperable. I called customer service and after many attempts, the customer service person instructed me to go to a tmobile store. I went on the 23rd, and ended up having to send my phone to tmobile.
The woman whom I spoke to on the phone that day from the store, told me that when my new phone arrived I should use the packaging to send my phone to them. Two weeks later my phone had still not arrived, so I called and was informed that I was supposed to have sent my phone first, contrary to what I was initially told. I sent my phone in that Saturday, the 7th of June. On the 13th of June I called Tmobile to see if my phone had arrived/was being sent to me, and I was informed that the phone hadn't arrived or that customer service was unable to determine if it had arrived or not. I gave my email address and was told that someone from the repairs department would be contacting me. That was Friday, and it is now Wednesday. No one has contacted me, and I don't feel like calling and wasting more of my time on hold to find out when, if ever, I will have my phone.

I would like to know when I will be receiving my replacement phone.

Thank you,
Char

I hate them so much. I can't wait til I have a cell phone that is on some corporate plan and when I have a problem with my phone I just get a new one and I never have to talk to any 4th grade education customer service person ever again.

ballin

I bought Mike a basketball yesterday and then we christened our basketball court (in a non-sexual way). Who wants to come over and play? I also did a quick inventory of our yard which I never go out in, and decided that I want to plant some flowers. While I'm at it, I'm going to plant some spinach too. Then I'll have to hire a Mexican to come pick it for me. Preferably one that doesn't have Hepatitis.

I watched the Disney/Anime movie "Spirited Away" recently. It was pretty good. Not as weird as a lot of Anime I've tried to watch. The crazy part was that the music they used in part of the movie was the same as the background music in Pokemon Snap. Now I've been really craving a good couple of hours of taking pictures of Jigglypuff on stage.

I caught a replay of the MTV movie awards and was amazed at Johnny Depp's fashion-forward move.




He brought back the butt cut, or as I like to call it, Rally's guy haircut. Apparently Seth Green was already annoying when he came out of his mom's vag.

I didn't even realize it until he came out, but it is totally OK to bring back that lame hairstyle. It might even be possible for it to be cool now. If David Beckham gets that haircut then it's official.
