Always empty your pockets

Yeah... Apparently I left my cell phone in my shorts pocket without realizing it, and then those shorts proceeded to get washed with my 101 shirt in the laundry. That had a really negative effect on my cell phone, as you can imagine. I picked up a new one today for about $170, so I'm available to be contacted 24/7 once again (unfortunately). The phone itself has some really nice features and it looks pretty snazzy too. I opted for a basic model because I really don't need my phone to have a camera, an mp3 player, a dvd player, or a tazer.

I just bought a ticket to see Converge [wikipedia] at Mac Hall on Sept 28, which will hopefully help to relieve my disappointment about Gigantour that I suffered last week. I can only imagine how good Converge will be live, but if they put as much effort into their live show as as they do in their studio material, then the house should be rocking like crazy. If the Mars Volta or DEP were to play Mac Hall, I'd be first in line for tickets.

Now for some news:

• Girls who eat breakfast have lower body mass indices. If you eat a good breakfast with cereal, you are less likely to be starving at lunch time and can make better choices. I can't stand it when girls don't eat or when they ration their food to lose non-existant weight. Looking like you're anorexic is not attractive and neither is eating plain lettuce for every meal of the day. So girls, please eat and if you just want to be healthy, get some exercise by walking, jogging, biking, playing sports, etc...
• This German guy made a beer with 24.5% alcohol that you should only consume in shot sizes. It's being touted as the world's strongest beer, and he expects the Boston Brewing Company to retaliate. Mmmmmm, beer.
• Bic is doing quite well. Apparently they just sold their 100 billionth pen on Thursday, and have sold 57 pens per second on average since 1950. Wow, that's a lot of pens.

Hmm, that's it for now, but I'll post something intelligent later this weekend.

By the way, happy Birthday Sara! You're now legal everwhere in the world, so make good use of that.
