upgrade
i kinda want to renew my cingular contract and get a new motorola razr with the int0rnetz for $5 more a month...
nice to have
it'd be awesome to have a fridge that could display and count the contents of one's crispers; in order to aid in the eating of fruits that get forgotten about.

orange
it's been "my color" for a while now. i think maybe 4 years.. i had my camera at work yesterday for a going-away party, so i thought i'd snapshot my cubeoffice.
also, i got my hairs cut:

possible good ideas
discussion ensued with some friends re the million dollar idea on friday; and we came up with some options: a carpool blog*, an advice column (either w/ you, dear reader, or w/ me helping my buddy aaron), or a sunday brunch review blog. i think i would like the advice column the best.
*the carpool blog stemmed from an idea with my ex-carpoolie to do a morning radio show since we're quite humorous together.
i can't think of a fake question to ask myself advice about; so if you can come up with anything, please leave a comment. i reserve the right to edit for content and length. i am also not a trained psychologist, i just think i know alot about alot.

need a miracle
after reading the article about the plentyoffish.com guy who got a check from google adsense for almost one million dollars, i realized that i need to come up with something. something good. something people will want to use. and something that runs itself; or with a little help from me.

motorin'
i passed a bicycler on jenifer street this morning. and then i passed him again on langdon. it only increased my desire to
- work a bikeable distance from home
- get a motorcyle*
*kurt and i have a deal; if he gets one, i get one. this will stop him from getting one.

*blank* you
every weekend, i find myself in front of the game show network watching match game. it's a hoot. today, i find myself in front of a website with wallpapers to celebrate my committment to charles nelson reilly.
site content
i've removed links to other areas of my site since i haven't gotten around to recoding them in a 2006 fashion; additionally, the content of said pages is outdated and probably not very interesting to anyone anymore.
collector
i was behind an 80-something rusted out bonneville this morning with wisconsin collector's plates. it made me feel a little old. when i was a kid, cars with collectors plates were cool, and shiny, and well-taken-care-of.
your car has to be 20+ years old to qualify as a collector, and you are limited by the months and mileage you may drive said car in a given year. the preservation and quality of an awesome automobile is the reason to call it a collector; not simply because you held on to some jalopy for 20 years.

observation
i presume it's because cubicles don't have actual doors, but little phenomenon that has popped up in officeland is when someone, politely interrupting your current task, says, "knock, knock," before entering the container that is your cubeoffice.

stunts
yesterday, i stumbled upon some guy who planned to eat primate food for one week; then this morning, i saw an old acquaintance pull into mcdonald's and was reminded of super size me, where morgan spurlock eats only mcd's for one month and his body basically starts to break down. so then i thought, what could i do for a week and document so i can get a bunch of stupid commenters and people giving me their opinion? then i thought, if i was so committed to doing "something", i should try a juice fast cuz at least i'd get some health benefit from it.
i've been thinking about juice fasting for over a year... kurt wants to get jack lalanne's power juicer cuz it doesn't waste as much as other juicers.

expecting
there are about 800 people who are pregnant right now at work. i'm obviously exaggerating, but there are really at least 16. so, of course, people joke about "the water". i feel like they're all checking out my tummy to see if i'm showing; which i have NO reason to.
oh, we're not going camping this weekend. both kurt and i forgot that we're watching sam, so it'll be another dog-filled weekend. he's starting to come around to jones' presence. and he doesn't seem as pissed off at us for getting a dog. :)

update: everything worked out well; all is up and running.

the woman in the stall next to me used her foot to activate the flusher. i could tell because of the shoe-shift and shadow-change on the floor. i tried it. it was neat.

planned obsolescence
i thought my ipod was breaking down this morning.. which would mean that i could take it to best buy and get an exchanged 30gig color screen! the only service plan i've ever used was for this ipod; but it started cooperating again, so i'll have to wait for another day.
