bone in sub

MAN i got a lot done today even though i woke up at 11. laundry, trip to shopper’s, grocery shopping, huge cleanup of my place, and new phone/plan!

i hadn’t bought a big load of groceries in like 3 weeks…the occasional milk or eggs since then but not a real 3-bags-full. it was actually great to just hang out and cook in my underwear with loud music instead of going out or getting takeout like i’ve been doing for the past 2 weeks. part of the grocery issue was that i had a big mess piling up from when i was really busy last week, it’s another feedback loop: the more mess and dishes pile up in addition to Life Things, the less i want to clean them, the less i want to go do errands like get groceries, which contributes to a general lack of energy. this happens to me once every couple months and i don’t like it, but it is especially satisfying to have a day like today where i get going again.

i spent a good 3 hours cleaning tonight and it feels AWESOME. i want to have a party or something.

how’s this for efficiency: while my laundry was in the dryer, i stopped by a phone place on the way to getting groceries. cellphones.ca has a pretty cool comparison feature and i ended up picking solo mobile. koodo kind of looked better but it’s brand new, and never buy version 1.0 of anything. got a better/more sensible plan than what i had on primus (blegh) plus a new phone. so much nicer than my old garbage motorola. well my old phone actually survived some insane situations (big drops, lots of water) and we went through tough times and good times together. it also had the most insane unshielded interference, which i guess was why i always had better reception than anybody else. goodbye motorola v190.

it’s way, way thinner than the old one which will be nice when i’m wearing tight pants, my old phone looked kind of silly in my pocket. i don’t mean to get all hardocp but i don’t really get new tech stuff very often anymore and it’s exciting! the new phone came with a 64mb microsd card, charger, AND usb->proprietary cable. generous! i’ve already thrown music and stuff on it, which i did not expect to be able to do without some hacking. it also has a camera, something i’ve never had in a phone before. it’s not horrible (for a phone camera), check it:
