I would have written more last time, but I had been awake for 20 hours at that point. To think, there are some people who can stay awake for days at a time! The longest time I've managed at one stretch was 40 hours, give or take. Irrelevant to the matter at hand, however.
First, I've managed to decide on a new mobile phone. At one point, I'd had it down to three candidates: a Droid, a BlackBerry, or an iPhone. After due consideration, iPhone was removed from the list. Next to go was the Droid line, mostly because of price. BlackBerry is the winner -- specifically the model known as "Curve". The newest model, Torch, is much too expensive for the starving artist... I don't want to be one of those lower middle-class blokes who chooses the newest piece of technology over eating for a month (though I might make an exception when the Nintendo 3DS is released).
Anyway, I figure I'll need its myriad features eventually. Especially as I've sent away two more voice-acting and composing demos for professional consideration -- the Z-list celebrity needs a way of communicating his whereabouts to his fanatic stalkers, after all.
Next, I've managed to secure a booking for the role of piano-player at the College of St. Mary in Lincoln's second annual children's Halloween costume party... mostly because my mother happens to be the school's admissions counsellor. As with last year, I will be dressed as Luigi. It's a closed event, however -- there's a bouncer and everything. However, if you should happen to be driving northbound on Cotner Avenue between Vine and Holdrege streets, look into the window of the strip-mall on the left side of the road and you'll see a man dressed as Luigi, sitting at a desk with a synthesiser on it.
Finally, I dislike it when food companies mislabel their products. This pint of Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch that's sitting opposite me right now clearly contains Half Baked.
