School and work have both been stressing me out lately. So much so that I’ve neglected this blog. At least, I’m pretty fanatical about sending pictures from my camera phone right? So even though there’s hardly any updates anymore these days, you can at least expect that there will be new pictures each time you visit. Anyway, it seems that the storm has subsided – or so I hope. Knock on wood. I pray I haven’t jinxed myself and things will continue in this path. I guess that mostly applies to my work woes. School will continue to be relentless as always. The main source of misery for me has been Accounting. That class makes me want to jump off a bridge! The professor is great and all that. He is very knowledgeable about the subject. My problem is that the guy has no concept of the struggles of non-traditional students. He assigns homework like his class is the only class you’re taking and you don’t have a job. Hello?! I have a full load of 12 credit hours and with my fulltime work schedule, keeping up with the homework is almost impossible. I was going to say “challenging” but that would be a terrible understatement. So if I’m grumpy and crabby most of the time, you have my work and school stresses to blame. I feel so sorry for Brian for having to put up with me when I’m in one of my moods. I wish I could control my temperament but I can’t. You really wouldn’t want to be my husband. But hey, at least I have an excuse. So when school isn’t in session, I’m pretty tolerable. Or so I’d like to believe. Speaking of school, over the last week I’d been stressing over not becoming part of this one girl’s group for a project in one of my classes. We were part of the same group several semesters ago and she didn’t do anything! I didn’t want a repeat of that so, over the last week, I had been devising ways of avoiding being in her group. Believe it or not, I actually emailed a couple of people in my desperation. Much to my relief when groups started forming today, people just naturally migrated to grouping within their vicinity. I think I ended up with two good people. What a relief! I didn’t have to do any scheming after all.

Is it me or do my parents look goofy in this picture? I guess I should be glad they look fun rather than stiff. Imagine these two, drunk on sangria and playing karaoke challenge in the living room. It’s hilarious! Anyway, my parents are the only people I can karaoke with because they’re the only people who can endure my awful singing voice. Don’t worry. You will never have to witness any of my performances in local karaoke joints. My vocal stylings are strictly confined to my parents’ living room.

Jen came over today to check out my new phone. Of course, she tells me about the Samsung e635 which has almost identical features and maybe could have made my life a lot easier. I just signed up for the $5.99 T-MobileWeb thing so that I can get my email to work. I’m supposed to wait 24-48 hours. I’m hoping that it works when I wake up tomorrow. Cross your fingers.

Here’s a review of my new phone from Engadget. I sold my old phone, the D415, to mom and dad for $60. I think I could’ve gotten more for it on eBay, considering that it’s still selling for around $345 new ($199 with a service plan/contract through T-Mobile), but hey it’s family so you can only ask for so much. The price on the old phone has dropped some, though, because I remember last year it was $299 with a plan/contract. I wasn’t dumb enough to pay that much, though. Although, I did fall prey to the fancy phone seduction because my new phone cost me quite a bit. However, since I didn’t pay the Expansys price (which incidentally has dropped to less than $500 since I first started shopping around for this phone), I still think I got a pretty good deal. Not as good of a deal as when I thought it was $700, though. Based on the price it is now, I only saved $150 or so. I need to work on my bargain-hunting skills. So anyway, this is supposed to be my birthday gift this year so I guess I need to make the most of out it and learn to love it. And I need to take care of it better than the last one because I may not be getting another phone for a few years. Unless, of course, T-Mobile releases an irressistible new camera phone.

Brian and I caught Rome today. Have you all seen it? It’s really good. On one scene Pullo gives a whore a fierce shagging from behind. A few scenes later, a doctor is operating on his skull. Totally gruesome. “I love HBO!” I couldn’t help exclaiming. To which Brian just responds with a chuckle. The show suits my morbid taste. LOL. Seriously though, the writing and acting are equally great. I think we are going to have to watch this show regularly. Thank God for DVR.
