iDecisions...

Well I've already established with Verizon that I cannot use the new iPhone with their service if I purchase one. I know this is obvious to some, but Im not the most Tech-savvy person. I just know how things work, not why.

So now I am faced with a choice, cause for one, Verizon does have the best coverage you can get these days, and I've certainly never had a problem. Whereas I have horrible memories of Cingular back from my days in college and running up huge phone bills every month, and then having to deal with customer service all the time.

Perhaps that was my own fault, or perhaps Cingular (now Cingular/AT&T) just sucks...who knows.

I called Verizon today, and after shooting me down with the iPhone, they started explaining all the other phones they had that held music. I calmly tried to explain that the iPhone has the same I/O jack as the iPod (atleast I assume it does), and therefore works in all my iPod accessories, including my BOSE stereo system, and my car adapter. So why would I want the Verizon chocolate and an iPod for my car, when I could have an iPhone to serve both purposes?

I guess I am just going to have to make a decision here - So please offer me your input. Here are my two options;

1. Buy an iPhone - I know it only holds up to 8GB, but right now I am living with 4GB, and its not all bad. Sure there is probably a lot I am missing in doing so with my vast music collection, but I just need to spend more time developing a rotation system. Financially this is going to be a burden, cause not only will I have to buy the iPhone, but I will have to pay the Verizon cancellation fees, as well as the new Cingular activation fees and such...so this could easily run me close to $1500, when all is said and done. All that and I'd only have to carry one thing in my pocket at all times...
2. Buy a new iPod - Compared to my other option, buying a new 80GB would be cheap. Then I could load my entire collection on there (barely), just in case someone wanted to hear 'Another Bad Creation'. Then I will still have this gi-normous phone in my pocket, as well as an 80GB iPod, everywhere I go...

I now open the floor to discussion...

A 'Pizza' My Heart...

So yesterday I went to a new pizza place right here in Vacaville called 'Amici's', which claims to be an 'East Coast Pizzeria'. Seeing as how I am from the East Coast I decided to check it out.

I have to say I wasn't dissatisfied.

I have been in California for over a year and a half now and I have never found a slice of pizza that has been to my liking after living in New York my entire life. I am no pizza conneiseur by any means (as a matter of fact I just love food), but even below average New York pizza is better then most California pizzas I have had.

The good news is, this place Amici's was pretty damn good. The prices were a bit steep, but they had a lot more to offer then just New York style pizza. Overall it seemed like a pretty good restaurant for a hot friday night date or something.

Most importantly I urge all of you Native Californians to get over there (or to your nearest Amici's), order a New York style pizza with pepperoni, sprinkle some parmesan on it, and eat it. It may not be exact, but it is definitely the closest you will get around here.

The Dick-Scover-Ey Channel Part IV

Gay, Straight Or Taken: Its like Elimidate with a hilarious twist. Even more hilarious then most of the twists Elimidate has recently been implementing. The premise starts with a girl (or guy but we will use the girl for my example) who is going on a date with three 'eligible' bachelors. After brief introductions with her three dates her phone rings. On the other end is one of her dates girlfriend/wife explaining that if she picks her boyfriend/husband, they get to take the prize vacation that is on the table. Needless to say, this shocks the hell out of the girl and she starts questioning everyone in the group. Just when you think she couldn't get more upset, her phone rings again, only this time it is a man explaining that one of her dates is his gay significant other, and they too want that prize vacation. So the date continues as everyone tries to convince this girl that not only are the other two guys gay, but that they are the right one for her, so they can win a trip at the end. The best part is how they make them do the most homo-erotic dates ever like Gymnastics, Roller-Disco, and Cheerleading, so everyone looks gay. And I know I already said this, but the real best part is when the girl accuses the single/straight guy of being gay at the end and loses. Who wouldn't want to be on this show?

Hot Jolly Ranchers: Those of you that know me, know I have a problem with being too relaxed while driving, which sometimes may lead to driving into farmhouses or something along those lines. I have learned tricks to help prevent this like listening to certain Albums, and having hard candy readily available for long trips. Jolly Ranchers are my favorite as they last the longest since they are super compressed and impossible to bite through. Its as if it originally starts out as a piece of hard candy ten stories high, and then they pressurize it to shrink it all down to its actual size. Its like trying to bite through a diamond with a Watermelon taste. But I digress - Due to the massive heat of the Valley in the summer, my car gets up to 100+ degrees this time of year. And let me tell you, nothing is more disgusting then popping a Sour Apple Jolly Rancher in your mouth at twenty degrees above your body temperature. It makes driving into a house seem like an amusement park ride.

Wearing Shoes: Honestly I don't know how people do it. I have started working again, and I can't wear flip-flops to the office. It is the worst feeling in the world. Maybe I am just not used to it anymore, but the thing I look forward to the most about going home is being able to not have shoes on anymore. I have even been kicking em off when I am in my cubicle and hanging out typing in socks...My feet are claustrophobic. Seriously I HATE it.
