Observation Can Be Fun

Another day of interning, another six hours of typing.

Fun fact: When you transcribe interviews, you begin to realize just how much actual human speech differs from dialogue. For one thing, people say "you know" a lot. Like...a whole lot. I eventually copied the phrase "you know" to the clipboard, and now I can just hit cmd+v every time it comes up. Don't you wish you were as smart as me?

That being said, I still don't feel like typing a whole lot more thanks to this. Maybe I'll make a big post tomorrow.

In the meantime, I'd like to share something I found somewhat funny. On the way to campus for dinner, I pass a GNC-type health store (it may actually be a GNC; I don't remember) with windows overlooking a corner of the sidewalk. As I was coming around this corner today, I looked inside and noticed a big bottle of a product called "UP YOUR MASS."

The thing that's funny is that one side of the label was facing slightly away from me, so for a second, it looked like it said "UP YOUR ASS." I should get a picture if it's still there next week.

On a related note, there's also a sign on my way to work advertising "amazing classes," but someone ripped off the C and the L in "classes." I should also get a picture of that. Why not?

Aaaaaand...on a note somewhat related to that, I've noticed lately that the word "amazing" is horribly overused, and I've decided to stop using it entirely for a few weeks, just to see what happens.

Anyway...I might post a Name that iTune later, but I need to rest now.

Sorry to kill a topic by posting wedding dresses about it ad nauseum, but my God(!), I can't believe that wedding dress  there was a time I preferred to use Qwest - that is, until Qwest DSL started giving me some problems. After abandoning Cox for two years because of the crappy  wedding gowns service they gave me wedding gown  in three different locales, the prodigal son returns - and it is great to be back.


Apparently two years makes discount wedding dresses  all the difference. Cox has completely revamped their customer service. Sure, they have some snarky automated bitch cheap wedding dresses  when you call tech support, but - and this is a tip for all of you Googlers out there who can't find simple wedding dresses  this - if you're calling Cox tech support and want to bypass the automated system, just say informal wedding dresses  "Technician". Apparently, that's the secret word and Cox's automated doorman lets you pass through the pearly gates to,bridal gowns  surprisingly, competent tech support and dude's who really don't mind too much when you have  bridal dresses a problem.


I had to call Cox twice yesterday, and unlike the horrible time I had with Qwest, they actually fixed my problems both times. It's almost as if they know what they're doing.


And as for speed; I had bridesmaid dresses to always assumed DSL was comparable stricly because with DSL, you're not sharing your network with anyone. I was wrong. Despite what other sites may tell you, cable broadband is way faster than DSL. Clocking my mother of the bride dresses download times, it's about 400% faster with Cox than it was with my DSL. I'm not exaggerating.


Of course, I also purchased their top tier bandwidth speed; at the basic package, it may be more plus size wedding dresses comparable. However, for a web designer, 400% faster means a lot more work is done in less time. And for a guy who actively loves to stream media, holy shit.


Anyway, I'm done now. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't a guy who only complains, but also compliments. Kudos Cox - ya won me over.
