→ I got rid of my new LG Cosmos Touch (returned it, and they even waived that stinkin' restocking fee, woo hoo) It sucked so badly that I would rather just go back to my LG enV2 even thought the front screen doesn't work any more at all -- so I did. I would get a smart phone but I am stuck because I'm under my father's plan and he refuses to allow me to have a data package. Even with me paying for it myself. If I could afford it, I'd just get my own plan but I really can't. I may get an Octane instead. Anybody have any experience with that one?

→ Even though I've had it on my PC for over a month (estimating) I'm going to the theater to see 127 Hours today with a friend. I've been putting it off for some reason. I think I'm afraid I won't like it as much as I want to like it. I don't even think that makes any sense, logically. My brain works in mysterious ways.

→ The Vampire Diaries -- how is it possible that this show is that good? There's no way. I've been compelled. I'm sure of it.

→ Friday Night Lights is really over. This depresses me in ways that don't make sense to me.

[random] false advertising; you should be ashamed.

NEW RULE:
Movies and TV Shows are no longer allowed to make posters/promos/trailers that are cooler than the actual product. That's just false advertising.

This is in no relation to me seeing 127 Hours tonight. I liked it.



ETA: Here is an unrelated example. The "right" version is actually the real DVD cover. I made the "wrong" version. With the "right" version, you have no misconceptions about what you should expect. (Go Disney!) With the "wrong" version, you're just blindsided:

RIGHT	WRONG
