Density

I just had the densest girl wait on me here at the pizza shop. The kind who stares emotionless at you awaiting your next cue. Me: "Honey, if you were taking this longer-than-necessary pause to translate what I'm saying into your mother tongue, I might sympathize. Even slow down and smile. But I hear no trace of anything more than west coast stupid coming out of your mouth, so get on with it.

Paris Hilton in "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset" on South Park

I recall my own stupid transition from thinking these sorts of pauses and blank stares were somehow my fault. Like I was stupid, ugly, uncool, or perhaps missing some cosmic joke reserved for people smarter than I.

Alas, as I've learned this far in life: as with most things, it's not about me at all. That's why she's here working here at this pizza shop and I'm just dropping by.

AT&T Wireless - How to turn off automated outgoing message

Do you use AT&T for your cell service?

I do now since I got my iPhone, and I've been annoyed at that damned outgoing message yada yada that comes on after my own personal greeting. "If you'd like to page this person, press blah; if you'd like to send a fax, press blah, if you'd like to fry eggs on John Doe's washboard abs, press ... your mom."

I mean, it gets RIDICULOUS all the yada yada callers have to go through just to leave a message.

Anyway, I just figure out how:

Press and hold 1
Press 4 (personal options)
Press 2 (administrative options)
Press 6 (to "turn auto play on or off" -- auto play is apparently all of that yada yada)

Voila. Peace and swiftly left messages at last!

WTF? How is this possible? Eight Minutes You Won't Soon Forget

My Beautiful Life

I know I go on and on about how great my life is right now. But it was so dreadfully bleak at the end of 2007, that I am crystal clear about how good I have it today.

Speaking of today, here's an iPhone photo I took for my friend Kandace. I sat from that vantage point sipping a beverage and working on a client's resume while enjoying the beauty of SF's Union Square, just 1.5 blocks from our apartment.

Yes, life is great right now.
