US Men's soccer eliminated from Bejing.

I really hope that the title of this blog doesn't ruin the outcome of the game for anyone interested in it. I was a person interested in the US men's soccer game of Day 5, so I went online to view the game. NBC tells us that if we miss anything on TV, or are interested in any event the videos are online. I go online. Not knowing the outcome of the soccer game, but when I get to the video that I MUST click to view the title of the game is the same as my blog title. Now, I don't know if I am being clear enough about this. I went online to view a game which I requires that I click a link to see, and the link itself gives away the end of the match. Isn't that a bit like Netflix listing The Sixth Sense as "Bruce Willis is dead the whole movie?"

Stuff Day

Stuff is awesome. This morning I awoke with my Mom hand delivering my new phone. It's a Samsung A737. When I first tried it, I thought that there was a problem with the phone. It turned out, embarrassingly, that I just put the SIM card in backwards. Oops. Anyway, it does in fact work fine, and I like it so far. It's a slider with a 1.3MP camera (not that I use the camera very often). It has pretty good call quality and since it was a free upgrade from AT&T I can't complain about the price. Well, I suppose it did cost be $18 for the "upgrade fee," but since everyone gets ripped off by the upgrade fee I feel like it's a deal to get a free phone.

Later in the day I received my monstrous 24" monitor. Yeah. I practically stole it for $225. I had a 21" CRT monitor before this and because I didn't want to get a screen that was smaller I was holding out for a 24" LCD. It's not smaller, I can tell you that. It's about a 3/4" bigger vertically and 5" wider. I set my screen resolution to 1900x1200 and it looks great. I haven't completely decided whether I will leave this resolution or step it down to something a little more moderate. Most web pages don't even fit across it, and I leave my list of bookmarks open on the left in Firefox. Wikipedia, however, never looked so good. At first I wasn't sure if I would like having a widescreen display, but now that I have it I like it a lot. I like that I don't need to worry about having enough room to display information within columns on web pages or in my Zune software, for instance. The only thing that don't really like is that it gives off a lot of heat from the screen itself.

All in all, I'm pretty pleased with both new gadgets I got today. Let's just hope I win this Y The Last Man bid on ebay. Fingers crossed.

I've got competition.

My very own sister thinks that she can just create a blog on the free internet.
She did.
It's pretty good so far.

Fire Yard Sale

It's just a yard sale.

Can you guess where I'm going?

Raaaaa-ra-roller, roller coaster, roller coasting minutes awa-ay.

Roller CoastER! Roller CoastER! Have some fun!

Click,click,click,click,click,click,aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!

I can tell you this:
It's not Wachusett or Water Country, and it's not Five Flags.

It's one better.
But not better than this:

I still haven't written about my trip to China, and it may not happen unless I feel particularly motivated. I've been thinking about this for some time, and I think that my blog needs a re-imagining. I have been pressuring myself to write these long well thought out blogs, but I think my blog needs more variety and less thinking. So I've decided to try to write in more frequent snack-sized sections.

For today, though I'm just going to leave with this link:
Worst Contestant
To save time, just fast forward to when she starts to write, but be sure to finish it. Bob is pretty funny at the end. "You've used the 1 twice Joy!!"

I found this a few days ago by typing "worst" into youtube, inspired by this:

Worst Hunter

I love the sigh at the end. That's my favorite part.
