Best Phone Ever

I'm on my phone now. I'm loving this phone.

HTC EVO 4G

I'm obsessed.  It always happens in August, but I want an HTC EVO 4G.  I thought I would wait until next year to get a new phone, but why.  I'm already eligible for an yearly upgrade since I'm Sprint Premiere customer.  So, why not get a new phone.  I'm not leaving Sprint for another carrier.  


Do I need a new phone? No.
Is my phone still working? Yes.


***As of this writing a Radio Shack has one in stock and I'm going after work***


EVO 4G Here I come!!!!

Walk to work

I take the same route (subway and walk) to work and run across the some same people.   


I find it fascinating that we run into these people for months maybe years and don't know them, but are friendly and cordial.


Ahhhhh New York City.

When are we going to learn

Killed for "acting like a girl".  Sick.Sad.What an idiot.  I hope he rots in jail.  Where did he learn that it was okay to punch a baby and hold it by it's throat?





 

Next Book - The Big One

I'm reading the 800 plus page "The Passage".  It is another book with vampires in it.  I was looking for a good summer book after reading "Breaking Dawn".  Steven King gave it a great review in Entertainment Weekly so I thought I'd give this $9.99 book a try.  That's another reason ereaders are convenient .  You can buy a book for $9.99 instead of the thick hardcover that costs $27.00.  So you cut the money and weight.


As of now, there are three main characters:

Amy (little girl abandoned by mother)

Wolgast (FBI)

Anthony Carter - death row inmate

110 pages in I can tell this is going to be one of those books with many characters weaving in and out of each other. These vampires are more monster than Edward Cullen and definitely don't sparkle.  


I will remind you that the book is 800 pages long (more or less).  I was intimated by that because it takes me a while to finish a book with working as much as I do, but I can tell this book is weaving a great story and that something is going to happen  (that was before I saw the subtitle in the picture to the right.  The book is so good, I'm already picturing actors in certain roles. 


I'm hoping to be done by September!

Janet's Blackglama Video

I'm happy to see Janet happy and doing things in the media, but I'm not so behind her peddling fur.  Times have changed and for someone who loves animals this comes at a surprise to me.  


Love you Janet.  I'm imagining fake fur as I check out this promotional video.

"I Knew Them Before"

Technology can be like your favorite undiscovered, underground artist that played in cheap venues with well vodka and tight unisex bathrooms 10 years ago.  Today that same artist is one of the hottest around living in a loft Williamsburg and shopping at Farmers market in Union Square.


"I knew about them before..."
"If you don't understand them, listen to someone else."
"I don't have to explain anything!"
"They got too big."
"They sold out"
"You didn't have to go through what I did"


Someone is always going to think they've earned being a fan more than someone else.  Those arguments never go anywhere.  It's all about options.


I  root for the underdog and the people that are working hard to beat the establishment.  Call me a fanboy and/or elitist and you're probably right.  I made a conscious decision to "switch".  I went against the grain to whole new world.  I was happy when not many people "knew" about the "other side" and took pleasure in seeing them struggle with what technology they thought was best.  Now, as things are shifting and my choice years ago is now fashionable, these noobs have all these complaints and issues.  I have this to say...


"If you don't like it, switch back and never look back".  That goes for phones, computers, tablets, machine guns or whatever.  You have a choice in is this great retail landscape.  If you don't like it, RETURN IT (within 30 days, 14 in some cases).

RIP Grandma

I love you and thank you.

Brendon

My current obsession. Looks, brains and laid back.  He's my Jeff of this season and it would be a shame to go home early.  He's got to get the power of veto!

SPOILER ALERT!  He did win!! Yeah!!!!!!

Big Brother 12

Big Brother has begun.


Every year I wonder if I'll want to watch, but I'm already hooked.The boys, the attitudes all mixed together with a big side of drama!  It's awesome. How will this season stack up.


I want to give my first impressions of the contestants before it gets too far in the the season.  


I wonder if my "thin slicing" worked.

• Andrew - needs a lower profile.  If he's thought of as the saboteur he will be sent home
• Annie - playing well
• Brendon - paired up to early. Now a target. Genuine
• Britney - like her. Seems authentic
• Enzo - strategizing too hard.  He will crash and burn
• Hayden - follower and in over his head
• Kathy - weak physically, which is surprising given that she's a cop
• Kristen - don't know her yet.  Under the radar
• Lane - looks overwhelmed.  Too much in his head
• Matt - sexy appeal, laying low, aligning well
• Monet - very competitive. needs to watch her fire
• Rachel - I like, genuine
• Ragan - Sweet, I like, genuine 

My favorites:

Brendon, Rachel, Ragan, Annie, Andrew and Matt.
