Thursdays- am I right? Maybe. I’m really not sure. Anyway, yesterday I joined modern times and got myself an iPhone. I had purposefully been avoiding an iPhone or Blackberry-type thing for a while now to avoid constantly fiddling with my phone all day instead of, you know, living my life on earth and other things. But I’ve noticed in the last year or so (though it probably happened sooner and I just failed to notice), that it’s kinda, sorta not acceptable anymore to be completely unreachable via e-mail and stuff all day, you know, when doing “business” (not that I really do business of any sort. But I do pretend a whole lot). I feel kind of defeated by the whole thing. I might as well start wearing Dockers and golf shirts every weekday and belted khaki shorts (shirt tucked in) in the summertime. Then again, this thing seems pretty cool. And I needed a new iPod anyway, so now I guess I have one of those too. I am really loving life in the future. Now where are those thick steaks in pill form? I really thought they’d have that sorted out by now. The tight silver onesies I can make happen on my own. Seriously though, science community- get going on those meals in pill form. You promised.
I am listening to “The Kink Kontroversy” by the Kinks (as hinted at in the name) as I type this. It’s kind of distracting (I can’t write and listen to music very well. It’s a left brain/right brain thing. Also, I am mildly retarded), but mostly worth it as it’s such a great album. I wish I had a time machine and could go back and see the Kinks in London in about 1966 or so. After the show, I’d get really hammered and try to make some time with those birds down on Carnaby Street. It would happen just like that. And I’m pretty sure my hair and clothes would look awesome. When I finished with the birds, I’d jump back in the time machine and set it for Dickens-era London and get chased down the street by soot-faced hoodlums. I could use the workout.
In other news, just a few more days to go before I head to Japan. I’m getting excited and nervous. I’m also realizing I should probably clean my apartment really well so I have that good feeling of walking into a clean apartment when I get back. I remember my parents used to do that when we would go on trips when I was a kid. When we’d get home, the house would be all clean and smell nice and I would wonder who lived there now. Oh, and I just found out we’re going to see Hanoi Rocks in Tokyo while we’re there. They are Scandinavian but something tells me it will still be an awesomely Japanese experience. I wish I had a time machine for that show too though, set to about 1983. I’d stick to my hair and clothes from now for that show though.
