Nov. 6th, 2008 07:50 pmSo, what to talk about ... how about random shit? I'm good at that. :D
** Well, about five minutes ago, I checked my userinfo and found that it's different; kind of a lot. Interesting. I'm not altogether sure I like it, but I'm sure it's just a matter of getting used to it. What do you all think? It's a bit smoother-looking, which isn't bad.
** I did read something in news about LJ possibly introducing some kind of a la carte option for buying userpic space. Does this mean I can get a whole hell of a lot of icons? We'll see. I'll keep you posted, because when and if there is more icon space, that is definitely reason for me to squee about it here.
** I'm kind of obsessed with Bloc Party's latest album, Intimacy. Can't stop listening to it. Not as good as their first album, and I don't love every song, but I still like how romantic and sort of vulnerable they sound even when they're uptempo and frenetic.
** So my company just renewed their contract with the NIH and did this big celebration staff party thing today off campus. Free food = good. There was also free alcohol, and for some reason it felt weird drinking in front of my boss. :P I only had a few sips. I think it's an age thing; my last boss was closer to my age (he was 27; I was 22), and he'd take us for happy hour sometimes, and I never felt odd.
** My coworker just got himself a brand-new iPhone, and let me tell you, that shit is shiny. *whines* I really, really want one. But even if I had an extra $200 lying around for the phone itself, the plan is just too expensive for me and I don't like that I'd have to switch to AT&T. On top of the voice plan, you have to shell out an extra $30 a month for the data transfer plan if you want to get online at all. At least according to him. It's kind of ridiculous, and I have a new car payment. So that's that. :P
** That'll do it for now, I guess. Hope everyone's good!
