Blogging would be so much easier if I could just create a brain dump and post it. No need to form coherent sentences and typing it all using a silly keyboard. Man, that would rock.

 

Which, coincidentally, is also the reason I haven't been updating my blog. I have plenty of interesting things I would like to discuss, talk about, blog about, or something like that.. I also have plenty of time in the evenings to write up elaborate stories (hey, what can I say, no other obligations). Yet I can't be bothered to type it all. I'm sure some brilliant and self-proclaimed Web 2.0 expert has come up for a term for this "syndrome", but I can't be arsed to go look for it.

 

In other news, I think having breakfast is finally starting to pay off. A couple of weeks ago I finally found something I like to eat in the morning. I'm not a big toast and/or bread and/or bagle and/or anything-else-in-the-morning-fan. But I do admit I feel less foggy during the day, especially in the afternoon. Now if only I could improve my cooking skills for dinner, I'm sure I could achieve world peace.

 

Also, I have a weird fascination with Twitter. On the one hand I find it interesting to read what people are doing, yet on the other hand I get annoyed like hell by all the people who post mindless retweets, tweet when they're stuck in traffic, or post ten times a week that they're at some airport somewhere around the world (we get it, you travel a lot, now go do something useful). That's the one thing I think Twitter is really missing: A way to cleanly sort this big pile of information (and incoming tweets) into categories and groups that actually matter to me, sparing me all the boring messages. I also forgot I had my phone set up for Twitter, so I was slightly surprised to see I got a bunch of SMS messages when someone sent me a direct message. I have to check my bill, see how much that joke cost me.

 

I was watching TV the other night, and I happen to see the latest Coke advertisement. I know it's been out for a while, so I'm sure you've seen it: the sweaty, hot (as in warm, not good looking) guy, who is thirsty beyond believe and recognizes the Coca Cola bottle in every sound, shape and other sensation you can think of on his way to some shoddy store where he buys a bottle to relieve his thirst. Coca Cola really messed this one up. They're previous ads were spot on, giving most people a real sensation of I got to drink this stuff, It's awesome. But this ad is just... Weird. I can't see how it possibly can have any effect (heck, it made me want to not drink cola).

 

The other day I got a TomTom, a neat little device. I know the educated readers know that I don't drive, so let me explain. My parents are coming over in two weeks (two weeks?! holy sheeze, time flies!) and they want to go places. So naturally they'll be getting a rental car. Of course, you could rent a GPS device, but it's super expensive, and I'll need one eventually anyway. So in the end it's cheaper to just buy one. I like how you can just download other language voices and so on for free.

 

Anyway, I better stop rambling now. Laters.
