Spartans, Brand new Hiptops, Electro nights and other pleasant randomness

Current Mood : Elated & giddy ( unbelivably enough )
Current Music : Pendulum - Toxic Shock

Sun Sept 4 - Wed Sept 7 :
Uneventful work crap under my name schedule which is 11h30am to 7h30pm.
No LOA whatsoever. Shouldn't complain, had a ton the week before. Some
handset problem ( Hiptop rebooted non-stop ALL NIGHT ! )

Thu Sept 8 :
Hiptop rebooted non-stop ALL DAY. Decided I had enough of this shit,
went to Fido store to see a technician. Someone told me Fido techs don't
even bother cracking open Hiptops. Claim confirmed. A brand new (yes,
NEW) unit with a 3 month extended warranty. All the buttons are hard and
the wheel control is tight as hell. Niiiiiiiice, very nice. Me likey.

Fri Sept 9 :
got e-mail from fellow workmate DJ Omni inviting me to Electro-Chic, an
electro event downtown Montreal at chic art showroom SAT (Societé des
Arts et Technolgies. I'm sure you can figure out what it means in
english.) Got there, saw some old friends and familiar faces. Got
invariably drunk with cheap highly alcoholic beverages. A friend
presented me to a very beautiful girl named Ann-Christine and we
proceeded to talk. Very much drunk. Well, I know I was. Next thing you
know, I pulled off something I never could've sober : got her phone
number. In fact she gave it to me. I suspect an elaborate plot to
deceive me. What girl gives her number upfront.

Sat Sept 10 :
this day was too extreme for me to describe it here. It wouldn't be
appropriate anyway but let's just say I did something a guy who never
even had a one-night stand did. I can't add further details. It's THAT
indecent. And no it doesn't involve me running around the Playboy
mansion in a gorilla suit.

Sun Sep 11 :
Went over to my friend Stephane, abused some MJ and finished Halo (the
video game in case you've been living under a rock for the past 5
years).

Mon Sep 12 :
Work, as usual. Took a chance and called Ann-Christine up. Sober this
time. Yes, she remembers me. We decided to hook up the next day. Now I'm
terrified.

Tue Sep 13 :
13 is usually a lucky number for me. Hey, I'm a freak that way. Day at
work was horrendous, hopefully the day will be redeemed with an evening
with Ann-Christine. I'm crossing my fingers on that.

Wed Sep 14 :
Date last night was good. Found out she's quite a bit younger than I
thought ( of course, legal ! Are you nuts ? ) but she's refreshing as
hell in my life right now. Not long term relationship material but we'll
see how far it goes, if it goes anywhere at all. First date so jokes are
told, stories are shared and common interests surface. She's incredibly
cute I must admit. Hopefully she thinks I'm ok as well. God, I'm such a
dork.

-- From that point on, I'll try posting once a day to complete this
lame-o calendar blog. Hehehe. --

Undead attacks weblog !

Current Mood : Nervous
Curent Track : Austin Leeds & Kobbe - Fusion Love (Markus Schulz &
Austin Leeds remix)

Incredible but true ! It attacks without mercy ! Undead man unleashes
terror on unsuspecting victims !

Yes, flee mortals. I'm back and I'm not dead. But who cares, really ?
Heh. I know I don't.

Before I launch off on various subjects, I'd like to know : as a Hiptop
user, I'm wondering why they didn't assign the apostrophy key as ALT+,
(comma) instead of ALT+l ? Commas and apostrophies are related, aren't
they ? What does the letter L care about carrying the apostrophy exactly
? I'm sure it wouldn've minded being the ALT key for the dollar sign
instead. Sheesh.

Anyway, as an update to having a Hiptop, the whole point of this weblog
was to be about stuff I've written on the fly using the unit. Up until
now, every single post you see here was typed on the minuscule Hiptop
keyboard as I was most likely riding the metro, bus or was just being
driven around by some boring friends.

Do I find this to be a hindrance ? Actually no, I love being able to
post stuff online on the fly for all (read : me) to see. The Hiptop is
the single most awesomest cellphone I've ever owned, bar none. Although,
if I had to choose a real phone over this one, I'd go with my old Nokia
5100 or perhaps try the Nokia 6020. As you can tell, Nokia is my
manufacturer of choice for cellphones.

Seeing as how I work for a cellular provider, I'm well versed in the
ones my company provides for clients so I can't pretend to know every
other manufacturer by heart. I must admit, I don't know much about
Samsung phones for instance. I do know enough about Nokia,
Sony-Ericsson, Siemens, Motorola and LG phones to dislike Siemens. Why ?
Very fragile phones and extremely poor design. Hey, I'm a web and
graphics designer, I would know about ugly design or not. :)

UPDATE : well, I suppose I had to talk about the darn thing to jinx it.
As it is right now, it keeps booting up but won't stay still. It just
randomly keeps rebooting and doesn't stop. I will have to go see a
technician tonight to have it looked at...which is the last thing I want
to do. More on that soon.
