I already had the pager from work, so I just needed the lab coat, stethoscope, and some embroidery. 🙂
Time to start getting stoked about the snow with some films!
Starting with this one: 🙂
The highlight of my summer… hands down! 🙂
So I turned my phone into a paper weight by doing some custom upgrades to it. Everything was running perfectly with the upgrade. It was fast and nice and shiny. Then I decided to restore a backup and it’s non-responsive now.
Lesson learned. I’ve messed around with custom upgrades and got comfortable. Those disclaimers actually mean something.
I’m curious how the next days will go until I fix it or (more likely) get a replacement. I can already feel the slight sting and anxiousness of being “disconnected.” I’m not sure if that’s necessarily a bad thing. Life was fine before mobile phones, but this is also the first time I’m without any sort of phone (landline or mobile).
Until then, I’m only available via e-mail or Skype. 🙂
UPDATE: After letting the battery die completely, the phone ended up booting back up 🙂 Life is good.
Finally, back in a domestic! I loved GMC Terrains when I travelled for my last job. Looking forward to keeping this one for many years to come 🙂
I’ve been wanting to do this for some time, but I’m finally committing to no TV/Netflix during the week, except for my favorite PBS Newshour program 🙂
My nighttime routine for the past few years involved watching a few TV episodes on Netflix before going to bed. My favorite was The Office. I could blow through the full series and then gleefully press the Season 1, Episode 1 button, seemingly, into eternity. But no more!
I’m not quitting because it kept me up or disrupted my sleep.
The reason why I’m quitting is I really want that time back! The thought of how many hours I’ve spent watching and re-watching shows on Netflix is depressing. Sure, it can be a nice disconnection after a long day, but man will it invalidate hours of your life.
So here’s a few things I’m going to put in TVs place:
- Playing my guitar
- Listening to CBC Radio 2
- Reading! Finally, I have such a list to get start on.
- Lugnuts games
- Walking
Help me stay true to this promise! If you can, wait a few months and then text, e-mail, or comment on this post to see if my TV is still dark on weekday nights. 🙂
Every so often I catch myself walking quickly, with a purpose, with a place to be or a thought on my mind.
Then, I slow down and I cut my pace in half. Immediately, I feel myself relax.
I need to figure out how to do that while I’m sitting at work with my mind revving 🙂
