two years too late to the party.

I would just like to first off mention that September 29th is the new August 1st. I almost don't fucking care that the Fray lied to me and the video for "How to Save a Life" is nowhere to be found. The issue is dead to me because the season premiere's of my latest two obsessions "Degrassi: TNG [that's short for The Next Generation]" and "South of Nowhere" are premiering on September 29th. They keep on showing snippet's and I can't even fucking wait.

On Friday I stayed home, because I'm totally pre-aging my liver and I can't bounce back like I used to. I started watching the movie "Friday Night Lights" because I remembered when it first came out and was getting generally positive reviews. Plus Kyle Chandler, who I had a mini-crush on in high school, gets his own show this season on the movie. Or I should say a tv show based on a movie based on a book based on a true story. Mouthful.

While I was watching the movie though I kept on being brought out of the story because I kept on thinking how great the music being played was, and wondering if I knew who it was.

So of course I googled it up and found out I didn't know. Though all the music had been done by a group called Explosions in the Sky.

Of course I had to go to my reliable source to download some songs - including their own website.

They are totally my new crack. And I was a little ashamed that they have become pretty known since the movie came out in 2004. Shame on me. What kind of music snob am I?

Well, I'll be making up for it by listening rather exclusively to them over the next week or so I'm sure.

Something else to get me through the next semester.

Verizon already has my soul. And I have to admit that I'm kind of okay with that considering that once I finally fucking got my phone, and had to immediately go to a Verizon store and get another battery that I have been getting consistent coverage. Everywhere except for my bathroom, and no one wants to talk in there really.

Seriously though. Check out Explosions in the Sky. They're an awesome band.

i sold my soul to verizon.

I have taken a huge leap into adulthood.

Wait for it. Slowly. Quietly. Okay, so the subject title is a dead give-away, but today I sold my soul to Verizon. I'm still not sure if this was the best thing to do, nor am I not sure that I won't be going through buyers remorse.

Until this point my mother has been paying my T-Mobile cell phone bill. Because the phone is in her name, and the bill gets sent to her. I know. Spoiled.

It was definitely one of those things where I was supposed to send her a monthly check - but seeing as I'm incapable of mailing jackshit, it rarely happened.

When I was visiting at the end of August, she got it into her head thinking about switching to Verizon. And earlier this summer when I had, like, a week of reception, I became spoiled. So then I'm of course thinking about how now, I'm going to have to start paying my own bill. So I looked up and found out that I have a staff discount, and then my mom of course started wavering.

I bit the bullet though and switched. In part because I really need reception, and it's time I become an adult, and because with this final, bloody crawl to the finish line of my grad school and job, I'm going to need constant contact and support from CBF. Waiting until 9 can sometimes be a pain in the ass. Especially when one of us passes the fuck out from fatigue sometimes at like 8.

I'm still not sure how I feel about this, or if I can even afford it, but I think it is for the best. Granted I wanted to switch to Cingular, but CBF just renewed his plan, and seriously, other than a few key people in my life, everyone and their fucking mother has Verizon. It's going to be totally weird trying to keep track of minutes!
