it's showtime, synergy
I just made a trip to Best Buy to pick up some apartment necessities, and I was really, really tempted to use my powers of credit to purchase a 52" flat screen high definition television.
"How 1999," most of you are probably saying. It's big news for me, though, because I'm never quite up to date with the times. I was even anti-cell phone until just over a year ago, and now I am some sort of cameraphone psycho. So anyhow, I talked myself out of the television and went to pick up some more sensible items, like a microwave and a toaster, and to my surprise I discovered a single combination microwave and toaster! Look up "sliced bread" in the dictionary, and it says "Single greatest invention known to man, followed closely by the combination microwave and toaster."
A few aisles later I saw something that didn't make quite as much sense. Right there on display was a refrigerator with an ice and water dispenser, adjacent to which was a built in plasma tv. Look up "combination microwave and toaster" in the thesaurus, and "refrigerator with built in plasma tv" will be listed as its antonym.

no email and no porn make josh something something
I almost didn't survive yesterday with no internet access. The next two weeks are looking pretty grim, folks. I had to spend my time studying for my final (88%!) and packing up for the big move. Because I wasn't able to jump on Gab, Bounce Out or Kingdom of Loathing at the sound of my alarm this morning, I was fifteen minutes early to work. I look forward to the 15th so I can get back to my life of laziness and irresponsibility.

a dish best served cold
I have a final tomorrow night in a class whose lectures are taped and rebroadcast on the class website. Needless to say, I don't attend the live session and I have four lectures to watch tonight. Also, I'm moving this week. Finals week. By myself. It's a stressful week.
So anyhow, I get home from the gym today to find that my roommate has come to claim the last of his stuff... and return our modem to the cable company!! I need that modem! It's the giver of life!! I had to come to work to watch my lectures (but not before I squeezed in an angry blog post) and I'm thinking I will probably be here until midnight or later.
To make matters worse, it's hard to concentrate on Principles of Management when all I can think about is sweet sweet revenge. I feel like I want to sign him up for the mailing list for the North American Man Boy Love Association or something. I can't really come up with anything to match the severity of what he has done, which is deny me of an internet connection for my next 4 days in the apartment.
I'll probably just "accidentally" run over his dog or something passive aggressive like that.
