Word of warning

Don't use pay phones unless you have the change. DO NOT USE A CREDIT CARD!!!!!!!!!

On Tuesday night I had to go back to work around 9pm. I came up w/ a plan w/ rr and jenn to make my trek back to work fun. We decided to go to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner.

Unfortunately for me, I forgot my cell phone. I never realized how much it would cost me.

I went to work and did my thing.

Then I walked to the Cambridgeside Galleria.

Since I didn't have my phone I couldn't tell rr and jenn that I was there. They said they would be in the food court so I went there but I didn't see them. Then I tried Borders and it was closed. Then I tried the food court again but no luck. Then I found pay phones. I didn't have enough change so I charged it to my debit card.

First I called my cell phone to access my voicemail. Jenn had called and said they were at the food court. I went back there again but still they weren't there.

Then I went back to the pay phone and called Jenn. She answered and said they were waiting outside Cheesecake Factory. So then I went there and found them and we had dinner.

Now I just was charged for those calls. Each one was maybe a minute long, not more than 2 minutes.

The first call to my voicemail cost me $22.92! Can you believe this? I can see that it costs more than the 75 cents it would have cost if I had the change, but $22.92, give me a break!

And the second call, that was a measly $19.55. What the fuck?!

I had no idea it would cost so much. So for a few minutes of talk time it cost me $42.47 which is basically my whole monthly cell phone bill.

Fine, you've screwed me. I feel like an ass. Never again I hope will I forget my cell phone.

Unfortunately though, my cell phone died today and I have no phone and no way of calling people. Perfect timing!!!

Don't use pay phones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh crap, I haven't even checked if the Yanks won last night!

It was a west coast game so didn't start here until 10p. I was watching it for a while but wanted to go to bed early because I wanted to get up early because I had a critical case at the end of the day yesterday and had overnight monitoring on this animal and luckily wasn't getting calls about it so that meant things were stable but I wanted to come in sooner than later. But I also had an eBay auction ending so wanted to stay up until it was over in case there were questions, so that kept me up until midnight. Then the Yanks kept me up because they were losing and Boston had already won and I really wanted the Yanks to win. So I went to bed and was watching in bed when they tied the game up!! but then I fell asleep so I don't know what happened. rr said if I fell asleep that meant I wasn't a real fan :0(

So let's all go see if they won or not.

That's just crappy!

Back to 5 games down on Boston, 1.5 to Seattle for the wild card. Bleh!

I bought some music today, wanna see?

Please feel free to recommend stuff too as I'm always looking for new stuff that is worth listening to so I don't keep listening to the same stuff over and over and over...

(I know my posting of iTunes stuff sucks but it's the only way I can do it right now)

First I started out with the latest Dear Leader on a split EP with Taxpayer. I know nothing about Taxpayer but it's Aaron fronting Dear Leader so I buy it all! Battle Scars is yeah, yeah! Cleo gives it 4 woos: woo, woO, wOO, WOO!!!! (insert sound effect here)

Then I saw another DL EP that I didn't have so I got that too.

Then I saw a Sheila Divine demo cut of some New Parade songs that I didn't have, yah know, TSD, Aaron's old band that was the best! So I got this too and it's so weird to hear these versions and know what they evolved into.

Then I moved on to find something new I might like. I was listening more to Shiny Toy Guns to see if it was worth buying and I fell into a goth electro tribute to Depeche Mode that had Shiny Toy Guns on it so that whole album was too good to pass up so got that.

Then I went ahead and got the STG We Are Pilots because I really like the song 'You Are the One' right now but I'm over 'Le Disko' though there's a good remix of it so I picked up the whole album.

Then lastly I just got the single 'The Heinrich Maneuver' by Interpol because it gets stuck in my head.

That's it for now.

C'mon guys you just can't afford to lose like this right now!

What's up Yanks, Rivera????? Now that you've battled back from soooooo low don't screw it up! Don't come back from a 3 run deficit in the 9th and lose.

Gotta keep tabs on this division and wild card race.

Let's give a shout out to Ethan Brown

He just won the U23 National Title in the triathlon. I just came across his name in my NE Runner Express email and I work with his dad so have had several conversations about Ethan's exploding triathlon career. Way to go!

Plus check out Mariana's blog about all her crazy adventures in triathlon, etc.

Man do I feel really fat and lazy now! Good thing I have track tonite.

I guess I can spare a few minutes for an update

Nothing real interesting to report. I had my final exam last night for molecular biology. It sucked but at least it's over. Hope I passed. I didn't do too well on the midterm but I did ok in lab, at least the grades I saw, though the lab report was worth a bunch and I don't know what I got and the grad project was worth a big big portion and I don't know about that. So really I don't know much and will just have to wait and see. But at least I don't have to waste my nights sitting in class from 6-9 and trying to find time to study, do the lab stuff, do the grad project when the past 4 out of 5 weekends I've had clinical duties both Sat and Sun and had to work the majority of the day. Doesn't leave much time for other stuff.

Now the next thing to work on is my presentation for the upcoming conference. I have to have it done by next Friday the 24th to present to my group. Hopefully it won't be too hard to do, it's only a 12 minute presentation w/ 3 min. for questions so I won't need that many slides. I just haven't looked at the stuff in several months so I hope I remember what I'm talking about.

My big vacation is soon approaching, one month away. I'm headed to Paris and the south of France. It'll be my first time out of N. America so can't wait to use my passport! Need to do some planning for that. Want to get a new camera, some clothes good for traveling, somewhat of an itinerary. Got some work to do.

Other than that I've put off lots of things. I've been eating like crap, not running very much, not doing laundry, not cleaning my room, not giving Cleo a bath, on and on. I need to get back on track w/ all this stuff, but I don't feel much of a break at work until maybe November so I'll just have to push on through.

Why does one thing always lead to another?
