Who you callin' cute?



yipee! watched the PPG movie today at Pavilion. i wanted to stay and watch the credits in the end, but we had to sneak out since we were the only "adults" there. well, at least the only adults without kids. my sister said we should have borrowed the neighbor's. i loved the movie! (spoken like a true fan) obviously, i'm not the best person to ask. however, i will concede that i had a feeling the kids wouldn't like it that much, although they all gamely clapped in the end when blossom, bubbles, and buttercup vanquished the evil monkey throng and otherthrew mojo jojo (i don't care, i still think he's adorable). well, you'd have to watch it yourself. take your four-year-old niece along if she's allowed to hear the word jerk.



i didn't know cellular phone companies checked credit. otherwise, i wouldn't have gotten myself all worked up over the prospect of getting unlimited week-end minutes with voicestream's $29.99/month plan. voicestream is one of only two companies offering GSM in new york (that i know of, anyway). at & t is upgrading soon, but they still have TDMA phones. with voicestream, i could get a 3390 free with the plan, 200 minutes, 500 ping-pong messages, unlimited week-ends, and unlimited calls to other voicestream phones within the US. i found out through the vendor, however, that i had a "T-class" credit, which means i would have to pay for the phone, a $75 connection fee, and i could only get the $39.99 plan. so what else is new? i don't have credit history, since i just moved here and i've realized just how true the maxim "bad credit is better than no credit at all" really is. heck, i didn't even get approved for a macy's card (thus i am defiantly not linking them). so, rather than pay an outrageous sum for minutes that i'm going to end up not using, i went for prepaid. which is more expensive in the long run. but i don't really have a choice, do i?



and since i'm on the subject, can i just say that phones here suck eggs? US uses the 1900 frequency, unlike europe, asia and africa which use 900/1800. all the good phones are only available in europe and asia. unless you get a tri-band phone. however, i don't want to get a really expensive phone because i'm broke. sure, you can get cheaper world phones from siemens, motorola and ericsson. i, however, am a nokia loyalist like most asians. so, i'm making do with the 3390 and late-night sungka sessions.



no domain name or host yet. i got the next best thing, however. free hosting from tripod and a more-or-less personalized url! good enough for now..
