11/01/2005: "Columbia House"
Imagine that you belong to Columbia House and you call them up because you want to cancel your membership. You pay your balance and get the hell out. Then you get your credit card bill on a card that you don't even use anymore and find that Columbia House charged your CC for a movie. Then you get the movie in the mail and really hope that the movie they sent you is worth the $25. It's "Hitch", which isn't worth the $25 and you are totally pissed because you have to either send the movie back and pay for it, or you have to pay for the damn thing. Oh yeah, and the kicker is that the Columbia House website is "experiencing problems" because they are doing some maintenance. That is complete bull***+. I think they just took my money and ran at the same time that they took my money and I ran. I still have Lemony Snicket because they sent me the damn movie without my consent. Actually, they send it regardless, and your "consent" is actually declining the movie. They get money out of it. I could have bought another movie with all the late fees I got on the Snicket.
My phone is still kick ass. I can take pictures of people and put them in my phone so that their picture comes up when they call me or I call them. Not big news in the world of cell phones, but it's my first one so it's cool. At this point in our techno-future, each time we get a new phone it should have all kinds of new features. My last phone had a QWERTY keypad, played MP3's, and had a radio on it. This phone has 2 displays, a radio, and a camera. Who knows what my next phone will have on it. A year from now I plan to be so rich that I can afford one of those PDA phones. Oh yeah, and you can't have a PDA phone without paying for internet access or what's the point of a PDA? To take your work with you on the road? Yeah right, for those of you out there that need to work on the run...either run and save the work for later, or do the work now and run when you don't have work to do.
