dragonlady7I got off my ass today (hey. actually I've been pretty productive, these last two days, all told) and went out and scratched around in the garden a bit. Yup, it's dirt. Actually last week I emptied everything out of the compost pile that could be more or less described as "dirt" and put that into the garden beds, and then I dumped out the pots of potting soil I've had sitting around sprouting weeds in the basement (! I know, I was surprised too) onto the garden beds. So today I turned over some soil, broke up some bits that were trying to revert to being sod, and actually planted peas, lettuce, and a few beets. I also tried planting some sweetpeas-- those sort of never grow very well, for me, but I always feel obligated to try.
I exchanged the Samsung cellphone I got kind of in error for a Motorola Razr V3 that would work with iSync. I got it home and iSync informs me it "can not connect" to this phone. It doesn't explain why. The Apple website assures me that a Motorola RAZR V3 (with various version numbers and letters appended) is compatible with iSync. iSync stubbornly repeats that it "can not connect" to this phone. So yeah. Was kind of the whole point of that extended charade, but, you know, whatev.
The exchange process was hastened by the fact that my brother-in-law had said he'd call me around 11 or 11:30 to finalize the details of the IRA I'm setting up with him. (He's a financial consultant for AG Edwards, which I think I've mentioned. I figure since I'm making more than I spend just now, I should set this kind of thing up now, because God knows my career plans won't be conducive to it in the long term.) I felt extremely pretentious at the thought that I had to rush through the proceedings with the sales clerk in the knowledge that I was expecting, on my overpriced and wankery new cellular telephone, a call from My Financial Consultant. It was almost on par with saying I had to meet up with My Attorney for the whole traffic ticket thing. Yow. I feel old and yuppieish.
That said, I am going, in a miniskirt and babydoll t-shirt, to a sorta punk-rock show tonight, so I feel a little better. I gotta figure out how to take videos on my phone before I go, so I can do something ill-advised and video it for the Internet. Because that is what Yuppies Like Me do to unwind. Wooo!
What's funniest is that I know I originally opened this window to blog something else entirely. Hm.
