This week's recap: OMG iPhone OMG iPhone OMG iPhone
First off, bitches: I did buy a fine new pair of sandals at REI this year, but I choose not to wear them because my beloved and gawdawfully old Teva sandals still feel oooh soo much better.
I don't even want to get into the whole Bush pardoning Libby thing...it's just too depressing to think about how arrogantly disdainful this administration is of any recognition of law. In 1997, I moved from Kazakstan, a former Soviet Republic, to the Royal Monarchy of Bushtexistan.
OMG everyone STFU about those fucking iPhones. Whatever, Borg Queens. Like we need more people walking erratically on the sidewalk and checking their e-mail during movies anyway. Nearly 90% of my near-collisions while on the bike are with people fondling electronic gadgetry and not paying attention to where they're going as they walk in random directions down the sidewalk. And if I see some obnoxious queen checking Manhunt on the dance floor I'm gonna hurl that thing against the wall. You know it's going to happen.
Anyway...I finally have Internets access at home, and have buckled to society and Tha Man and have ordered a cell phone. No one makes plans anymore, and I'm tired of fighting to try to get people to meet at a fixed time and location - it's always "OMG I'll call you when I get there..." I also no longer have a land line, and no longer need one, so it is time.
With all these technological advancements, now I can text message on the dance floor in my Tevas and annoy as many people around me as possible. I can't wait.
Oh, Kylie on Dr. Who is confirmed - for a Christmas special no less! It's been a good summer for Divas and assorted Girl Power issues and events.

You get two too cute points from CT. One for the cell-phone and one for the tevas. Independence is Hawt!

All of this Iphone crap in the media reduced the amount of attention Paris Hilton was getting. Shameful!

"...And if I see some obnoxious queen checking Manhunt on the dance floor I'm gonna hurl that thing against the wall." Are you gonna hurl the phone or the queen? I vote for both..... I handle the phones for my company and my boss is such a techo-baby I am usually ready to rip the balls off anyone who shows him a shiny new toy, because he usually will want it. Right. Now. However, so far nothing on the iPhone - I think he is Apple-phobic enough to stay away. At least I hope.

So does this mean your going to start watching Doctor Who?
Season 3 ended on such a weird note. and Martha Jones is way way better than Rose TYler.
Have you seen TORCHWOOD? or "The Sarah Jane Adventures"? good spin offs

Now that was timely. I was JUST talking to Glenn earlier today about your apparently disdain for all things cellular. And here you go, bucking your own trend.
Frankly, good for you. You seem to be the type of person that will treat a cell phone as the tool it is and not as a bodily appendage.

I'll alert civilization that you're allowed to travel outside the US now, to the lands where cell phones are so prevalent that only ants eschew their use
