Bad, RIMM, bad. My Blackberry Pearl just accidentally called 911 for the second time in a week (and maybe the fifth time overall). All it takes is a double click of the trackball when the phone is locked. What a stupid ass design! I can't believe it doesn't happen more often.

A quick Google reveals that it can't be disabled (some stupid law apparently) and the only workaround is to put it in standby mode instead of locked.

Oh yeah, my phone also randomly stops playing sounds and then randomly fixes itself. So no ringer = missed calls. Luckily, the phone still works though.

I see I haven't posted in a while...

My work project from hell is over for now. It finally went live last Thursday. I managed to survive with minimal emotional damage though I think I gained a few extra pounds due to poor sleeping and dietary habits. Free soda and snacks at the office probably has something to do with that too.

My car got totalled a few weeks ago. Second accident this year after having one in my entire lifetime. Some crazy/lost chicky tourist from Denmark cut across three lanes of West Peachtree to make a left turn onto 12th Street. I was in her blind spot. Then I was airborne and landed in a parking lot.

So now I have a new car. Technically, it's used but it's new to me. I got a 2004 Saab 9-3 Aero. It's a bit nicer than my previous Saab but it also cost $5000 more. I have still have to go get my registration and tags (license plates, for those not in the South) on Friday but that'll be the end of that saga.

With things calming down at work and my car stuff almost done with, I can finally focus on getting a new job now.

What else... let's see... the roller coaster stock market ride continues. I'm sitting on huge gains so I know I won't get wiped out but it's still somewhat stressful. My portfolio is at a high now but I'm sure the story will be different a week from now.

It's July and I've somehow managed to avoid getting sick this summer. That hasn't happened ever.

Am I depressed because I'm watching Lost In Translation or am I watching Lost In Translation because I'm depressed? Hahaha, the high-class Japanese hooker scene just came on. I'm watching it on my fabulous new 42" LCD TV. The old 32" CRT had been sitting in my living room for a couple of months until I finally unloaded it to a friend of a friend last week.

I got a new bed and side tables.

The Rangers got Drury and Gomez. Didn't see that coming.

The Knicks got Zach Randolph. Didn't see that coming either.

Here's to a better second half of the year.
