Watching the Daily ShowLast night, my roommate Dave and I won seven straight games of beer pong. It was a pretty memorable night. I've never played that many games in one night, and of course have never -won- that many in one night. Around midnight, however, the news came in, and we lost for the rest of the night.
Hillary and McCain won New Hampshire.
We lost the next two games horribly. My concentration was gone, and so was my game. You know what else was gone? My hope for America.
At least Jon Stewart is back.

My phone broke again. I'm on a family plan with Cingular (The NEW!!! AT&T), and we just reactivated our plan in April. We also got new phones. I picked the Sony Ericsson Z525.
In September (just five months with my new phone), the display died. All that showed up was a solid white screen. The phone still worked; I could make and receive calls, but I had no idea if I had a missed call or who was calling. And, of course, my address book was completely useless.
It was still under warranty, so ordering a replacement was easy enough. Life carried on.
Well, while in Arizona over break camping out before the IU bowl game, the display died again. Exact same thing as before.
I called Cingular (the NEW!! AT&T), and after waiting on hold for 3 minutes of going through the system, 5 minutes of waiting for an operator, being transferred, going through the system again, 5 minutes of waiting, one minute of dialing which went to a busy tony, redialing the number, through the system again, and 6 minutes of waiting, I finally reached an operator.
I'm still under warranty, so I will be getting a new phone. Actually, it's a refurbished phone of the same model. I asked if I could get a different model, because this is obviously a recurring problem, but they said I have to go through three (3) warranty phones before I can change models. By my calculations, this phone will die in 4 months, just in time for my 1 year warranty to expire, and the phone company will screw me over.
All I can hope for is that my POS phone dies before April.
