I'm a consumer of things like that, not a provider, but I totally agree with you. I understand why everyone thinks things like cell phones are overpriced (I'm one of them), but I don't consider myself being cheated for things like you mentioned. Maybe people should learn to read the fine print and avoid the stupid situations they get themselves into - better yet, they should just learn how to read.

and yes, Oldboy rocks my socks.

i hate doing stuff like that, but today i had to call and haggle with my provider because they were trying to charge me late fees for not paying when they were supposed to be taking the payments directly out of my account. of course i was polite and all that (i know what it's like to be on the other end of those calls), but it's a pain. i did enjoy your fine print story. "yes it IS ridiculous." we were just discussing last night with the guys who work at our favorite coffeeshop that a good way to reduce the population would be to include in the fine print in some big contest: after this contest, you will be eaten. no one would read it! it'd be perfect!

i've heard a lot about Spring, Summer, etc. and i guess somehow it eluded our netflix list. it's on there now though. i must recommend Tsotsi which is in arthouse theatres now - south african, very good film.

okay, I won't mention it. the neverending sto-ory ah-ah-ah-ah-ah... the neverending sto-ory.... can you hear it? he he, singing the theme song for you. anyway, can you recall which film is based on Hamlet but set in modern times?

look at this - i look like i'm having a conversation with myself. update for goodness sake!

if you end up homeless and jobless in europe, something tells me you'll be the happier for it. besides, you can be homeless and jobless and not speak the language, too! he he.

oh, i guess i'm out of my league since i've only seen the Neverending Story movies. grew up with them and, for some reason, always like the second one better. i think it's because i liked the boy better. i'll really have to watch them again. both on VHS of course.

did i ever ask you if you've seen Oldboy? korean, but still...

gross! you sick freak - who likes the flu!?! just ride some rollercoasters if you want to feel lightheaded, or hop on a swingset and swing too high. don't get the bloody flu!

goodness. well, pamper yourself while you have it, i suppose. eat lots of ice cream, i hear that's good for you.

ARE YOU WELL YET?

stupid over a girl. that's really not a bad place to be, you know? it's been awhile since i've felt honest angst and i kind of miss it.

pardon my presumptions. define stupid.

oh me! that sounds awful. at least you can make ligh of it with amusing inner conversations... at least those of us reading this appreciate them.

for christmas, i got food poisoning. lost 8lbs. overnight, no joke. and i must have lost all my stomach lining or something because i still couldn't eat the rest of the week... nothing sat right. what a miserable diet!

hope you feel better soon because that's no way to celebrate a move. or hey, maybe it's your body telling you to take a freaking break, man!

how'd the paper go?

i know, i miss snow, too. we've had a lousy winter here. i had to go south to get any snow - go figure!

glad your paper went well and that you get to continue your studies. i think i'd probably need a breather after a paper like that, but hey, whatever floats your boat!

and it can be fun to move. too bad you have to use your WHOLE vacation to do it, but that means you're getting a new place, right? that's fun! i like to decorate and arrange stuff, so maybe it's just me who finds it fun. i know the grunting/moving/dropping/shoving part isn't nearly as fun as the last minute touches. but hopefully you can celebrate heartily since you won't have class the next day.

hi there. just curious as to why you'd like to be my friend when we've never even conversed! let me get to know you first.
