Familiar WeatherCategory: weather
Recently, the weather has been kinda like the winters back home. Cold, unbearably rainy and wet (not like a good dry snow) and punctuated by ice storms.
If the trend has to continue, I'd certainly hope that a Bojangles would fall down from the sky and relieve my sweet tea withdrawal.

Latinas on Elmwood sells Luizianne tea bags. Best way to make a good southern brew of ice tea up in this here north, bless its heart.

Pure As The Driven SnowCategory: music
I need to cut back on the caffeinated beverages.
The entire day, I've Grandmaster Flash's song "White Lines" running through my head. While I probably could never get tired of hearing that thumpin' bass line intermixed with people screaming "Freeze! Rock!", this is getting a little sick.

I used to love this song when I was younger. At the time I had no idea what it was about. Start the song at around 0:45 and the line "Something like a phenomena" occurs. I had no idea that it's origin was in this song.

ChecklistCategory: goals
Goals for this weekend:
1. Make a dish from this book.
So far, it looks like a pretty decent cookbook with fairly hassle-free recipes for simple stuff.
2. Read more Hitcherhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, so I will be even less oblivious to the cultural references on Slashdot than I currently am, and will thus know where my towel is.
3. Drag my lazy butt to see Perfume before it goes out of theaters.
4. Try to do something social with another human being.

Apple phoneCategory: tech
I am salivating. Severely.
I've wanted to write programs for cellphones for years, but most mobile manufacturers make the process needlessly difficult. I've looked at Windows mobile, but I can't find a single, bare bones "Hello World" visual basic/c# tutorial anywhere on Microsoft's site (lots of pretty promotional crap, though). And the mobile java community has had it's head shoved up its ass for years (how many acroynyms and layers of abstraction does one need, anyways?). And palm? Don't even get me started. Nokia python? Was easy, but couldn't do much with it. The closest thing I ever found to a usable mobile API was Trolltech's Qtopia+python, and that had way too many user interaction issues.
If this phone comes with some sort of Cocoa programming library like the kind I use for the macs as work, this phone will kick some serious ass.

That is such a scam that my web filter at work blocks it as unsafe because of hacking.
