No Time For Fun

What a week. It's the middle of a boring Thursday afternoon, and I felt like blogging, but could not come up with anything. Colleen suggested a rant, although I'm not typically a ranter. Instead, random thoughts:

• In response to Colleen's cell-phone/annoyances rant, I will offer my brief two cents: cell phones are a wonderful thing - in essence, the best we can afford with today's technology to establish instant, personal communication gratification (that was harder to write than say, I think...). However, the social impact of this technology is still unexplored completely, and social norms have yet to develop. Such is the case with cell-phone manners: people barking into their phones in a quiet or crowded environment, talking on them while trying to interact with another person... these sort of things don't yet have any expected norms established yet, and if these negative manners become the norm, then cell phones will quickly develope a negative conotation. To some degree, this has happened already... but... whew... I'm done.
  
• Firefox 2.0 rocks. It pwns you. Get it, already.
• School scheduling for next semester starts soon, which means I have to reflect on this semester and make sure I get through all my classes.
• Why can't I get anything done fiction-wise? I've been plugging away on "Event Horizon" every day this week, but it seems like the story is going nowhere... grrrr...
• My plan of "not letting girls stress me" has thus far been... working. Sparing what I think of Colleen and Lacey right now, I'm actually spending less time thinking about what could be and wondering what to do next, such as getting in better shape for next year (girls don't like fatasses, right?).

And with that, I'm off to read for a class. Out.
