Why? Because there are now monkey waiters in Japan. JAPANESE MONKEY WAITERS, everybody. Come on! I haven't been this excited about a clip since I saw the one of the monkey washing a cat.
In other news, I received my Blackberry Storm yesterday and it is spiffy. Of course, I have only figured out like .05% of what it can do, but I did set my ringtone so there you go. In case you were wondering, my ringtone of choice is a gong. "GOOOOONNNNG." Heh.
In other other news, I have a good college friend who does not live near me. He informed me a few weeks ago that he would be coming to L.A. to visit and asked if we could get together for sushi. Of course!, I say, because I haven't seen him in years. Fast forward to yesterday afternoon when I received a post on my Facebook wall from the friend saying that he's scratching our sushi plans so he could go to a TV show taping with a mutual friend. No apologies, nothing. I KNOW.
I was (and as of this writing, still am) pretty pissed, because 1) friends don't do that to friends, 2) he couldn't even call me to tell me this, he had to advise me through FB, 3) it's totally rude and inconsiderate to break plans like that at the last minute because something else better came up, and 4) I made sure my night was free because HE ASKED ME TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. Not only that, I am also friends with the person he chose to spend his evening with, and I wasn't even asked if I wanted to join them. I wouldn't have wanted to go anyway, but the offer should have at least been extended as a courtesy, no? SO RUDE.
that was a shithead move.

good god, what is the matter with people? not even an apology? what a putz.
the monkey-waiter thing was awesome, though. the monkey would never be so rude.

That is amazing! Now I really have to visit Japan....
Oh, and if you ever need a last-minute backup sushi eating friend, call me! Seriously! :)

Cool monkeys!
I can't believe that you knew the person he broke plans with you over and they didn't say hey lets go here instead. That sucks. Hugs!

Ugh! That's awful! Some people...!
We'll have to bond over our Storm learning curves. I'm still feeling my way around it.

That's so rude! I can't believe he did that to you. I think he owes you BIG TIME!
