Phone: I was looking on YouTube and I saw that there is a new software update for the Voyager. It's like a total makeover and would basically be like having a new phone. And I've been itching for something new until I get a new phone, and this would be the prefect remedy. Well I called our local Annapolis Verizon and asked if they had the update there and they said yes but that they've been having issues with it so until next week instead of updating the phone you bring in, they just give you a new phone with the new software already installed! So I might be doing that today. The problem is, because of the big accident on the Bay Bridge a few weeks ago, they are doing reconstruction of the wall and it is causing a 4 hour backup. So once I cross that bridge, I know I will be in extreme traffic coming home. Is it worth it?
7:45 PM Update- I just got the software update, but not a new phone.
Yesterday: I was gonna go across the bridge and go shopping, eat dinner and get the software update for my phone yesterday, but at the last minute I changed my mind and went to Easton instead. I went to Applebee's, then got my haircut, as you can see in the picture to the left. Likey?
Hurricane Gustav: Well it happened, as I said it would on Tuesday. Hurricane Gustav has become a major hurricane. Today it is a Category 4. At this moment it has sustained winds of 145 MPH. It is gonna hit Cuba
today and tonight enter the Gulf of Mexico. There it will become a Cat. 5 hurricane and move towards the Louisiana/Texas coast. My grandfather, who works for the electric company, has already been told he is leaving Monday morning and being sent to the Gulf Coast to help restore power in the aftermath. He did the same thing when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the same region in 2005. This also means that all the oil rigs are being evacuated and prices are about to skyrocket. They are in the direct path of this monster.Gas Prices: Well, as you can imagine, with a huge hurricane about to pound the Gulf of Mexico, oil prices have shot up.
Fortunately, atleast here, it hasn't been reflected in prices at the pump. Right now we have the lowest prices in that state, which has been the case this year, and the lowest prices in months. Two days ago I took the picture to the right of gas prices at $3.38 a gallon. That won't be the case as these next few days pass. Will Hurricane Gustav finally force our local gas station owners to raise the prices over $4 a gallon for the first time ever? We shall see.Shopping Needs: I need to shop. Badly. I need winter clothes, but I still really need shoes. I'm still using the same pair of shoes and they are not comfy at all. Maybe if I cross the bridge to get the Voyager software update I will go ahead and get some shoes.
7:45 PM Update- I got the software update on phone and while waiting for it to finish, I went to the mall shoe shopping, didn't find any shoes I liked so I got frustrated and left. I did get some worthless socks though.
Blog: So I didn't want to make a separate post just for this so I will include it in this one for obvious reasons. When August 2008 ends, it will be the busiest month ever for my blog. For the first time in the over 2 years I have had this blog, I might actually reach the 30 posts in 1 month threshold! June of this year was the first time I reached 20 posts in a single month, and now just 2 short months later I may make it to 30. Either way, this will still be "most posted" month ever since the previous record is June 2008 with 22 posts, this is already the 28th post of this month. Awesome!
