How Do You Like Those Apple(s)?

I have the new iPhone 5 being shipped to me currently from T-Mobile! Here’s the odd journey that got me to that statement… [this way you can just stop reading if you don't care how]

Yesterday at the Costco Corporate Deli I wanted to withdraw cash to buy breakfast after my workout; only form of payment accepted is cash. No funds available! WTF? I knew I was close, but really? Figured out that T-Mobile charged me twice for my monthly payment. Called this morning, and spoke with Brian.

He advised a glitch in the system has been generating these types of calls but T-Mobile is all over it. I asked about overdraft fees because I got zinged twice. He asked for how much, to which I replied $10 total. He said we can skip all the procedures, reduce my next month’s bill by $10 but I still receive the refund of $89.73. I was chill with that.

Then he asked, “Can I review your monthly bill, rate plan and phone?”

“Go for it, hoss,” I replied.

Enter in dialogue that T-Mobile is no longer having contracts. That’s right! So when mine expires on 2/2/2014 they won’t re-sign. I explained my data usage decreased and/or isn’t a ton anyways, that I lost my Galaxy S, and mainly use Apple products (desktop, and iPod)

So we agreed on this:

Data plan of 2.5GB (vs. 5GB), new phone, insurance all for the same price as I pay monthly for 1) no new phone 2) extended warranty on a phone I longer have 3) an outdated data plan.

The decision was easy! Get the new iPhone 5. I guess thanks to T-Mobile Accounting Software for the glitch that made me not have breakfast yesterday, and for the phone call this morning about my refund!

This has been your C Note. 'los; out.

Let's Dance

The other week, I was driving to my 2 nd job at Malarky’s Sports Grill. Wednesday to be exact. I noticed a man standing at a bus sign waiting for a bus. I recognized the man right away. It was Kenny, The Dancing Wild Man of Factoria. It’d been a minute since I’ve seen him on the streets of Issaquah, I was growing concerned that something awful happened to him. I was thankful to find him once again, and within the same area I “met” him the first time… hilarious story. I remember distinctively. It was my first summer I spent in Issaquah. The sun was out, so relatively warm. I was bombing around in the Sapphire Sled [an arctic blue, 2004 Acura RSX Type S] with the windows down, the tunes up. I was stopped at the traffic light on the corner of Front Street and NW Gilman Blvd; the busiest intersection. From out-the-cuts, I heard someone screaming! I pull off my shades immediately. I whip my head around trying to seek out the source of the noise. I turn down the radio as I desper

Manic Monday, Terrible Tuesday, Wonderful Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Finally Friday

What a roller coaster week I have had! To start off the week was a manic Monday. After work on Monday , I did a WinCo run with WCP. Always entertaining. Tuesday was terrible. Started off by being tardy for work, so I treated myself to Tully's before posting up. And... in my experience, when you start off a day like that, any attempt to speed up or make up that half-step, half-tick, never happens. For inexplicable reason, you are now out-of-step with the Universe, and like fucking hell you're gonna make it back up. Never. Fails. I was late to meetings, I was late to a gym class I'm regularly early for, and the list goes on. In fact, I decided on that day instead of seeking out my dream girl of a svelte body, superior intelligence, endless energy, and with a litany of characteristics to make any fairy godmother proud I made the wide-sweeping declaration that I wanted this instead. A 2-ton, yoga pants wearing, 45 year old, bitter, divorcee that is one more named cat f

Cinematic Carlos - Seattle International Film Festival 2014

Last night started the 2nd year of my annual tradition (?) of screening several movies during the Seattle International Film Festival. I've known about for years, even a short stint in managing travel during the 2001 SIFF (that's even a longer story!) However, I had zero to little interest in it. I had no good reason either way. Last year, my dear friend, Cindy, invited me to be her movie buddy for SIFF. I accepted because I had no honestly good reason to refuse. We ran around the city tracking down movies that we wanted to watch, others were forgettable but that's the point! Some of these films will hit the mainstream. Most do not. Through the movies, misadventures, and mischief, we had a blast. So, it goes without saying, she invited me to repeat the feat. It continues to teach me: Despite how 'busy' you are - slow down and cherish the time with friends, family, and loved ones That as you grow older - invites should bear more weight than when you were y
