A Murder of Crows

I would like to take this time to bitch about T-Mobile and how PAINFULLY behind they are with technology. My phone is a couple years old, so I know it won't work in Japan. I already knew that. Knowing only this, I went to a T-Mobile store and asked them what I need to do in order to take my phone to Japan and use it.

The first thing the store guy tells me is that I need a new phone that uses 3G technology. (I knew that I was going to need a new phone, didn't know about the 3G thing.) So I asked what kind of 3G capable phones they carry and he told me one. One? ...As in an index finger? You've got to be fucking kidding me!

The told me that I needed to do two other things, but I stopped listening after the "we only have one" bullshit. I told them that I would think about it and left. After doing a bit of interweb research, I've learned that A) their "one" 3G capable phone is only a 2.5G at best and B) T-Mobile is years behind in 3G phones and networks. YEARS. My mom has a 3G capable phone from Cingular and she got it almost three goddamn years ago. DX

I'm so pissed off about this I can't even see straight.

You never know how much crap you own until you have to put it in boxes. Did I own this much crap last time I moved? I don't remember, but I can't recall this being such a pain in the ass. Technically, I don't have as much stuff as my parents, but I've accumulated a fair amount.

The first things that got packed up was my manga, artbook, DVD, and VHS collections. It took about six medium sized boxes and one large box for all the anime box sets. *_* Actually, there's a seventh medium box with all my yaoi manga, but I'm taking that with me. And no one can stop me - mwahahahahaha! Besides with Cassie as my roommate she might want to read one of them. Who knows.

After the anime collections were moved, I began working on all my cosplay stuff.

( Which is ridiculous... )

This is what I get for owning a lot of stuff. :P

I had a good laugh at the TV earlier when the talked about how "Memoirs of a Geisha" was expected to be a box office hit, but it turned out to be a flop. XD I can tell you why without even seeing the movie! The number one irk for me was how they are presenting the Geisha system and that they choose Chinese actors to do it. No offense meant to the Chinese actors/actresses, but can't we keep the Japanese culture intact for one fucking movie? Is it that hard? A movie about Geisha is appealing to me, but I think it is not appealing to most Americans. "The Last Samurai" was only a hit because it was about war and Tom Cruise was in it. As sad as it is to say that, it's the truth.

I hit the ceiling again on my hard drive this morning. I tried to download a NewS PV, but I only had 245MB left out of 114GB. I moved some stuff onto Mem and deleted some stuff I didn't want. I ended up deleting the first part of the Super Live Music Station only because the first part is useless without the second (which I don't have). I cleared out 4GB and hope the fill in some gaps in the Bleach episodes so I can burn them consecutively.

Le sigh... I should probably go pack some more. What a pain in the ass.

[EDIT]: Oh, I have PPOI! bound and ready to watch if anyone is interested.
