sorry about not updating last nite. i hope this mid-afternoon update will still be welcomed. for those who didn't see my away message last nite, i've been doing a lot of reading for my german class. had a week of reading to catch up to and finally finished @ 4am which then i collapsed onto my bed, skipping my daily news update and even changing my away msg. as alphabons notes:

the worse part of this all, the teacher tells me today that nobody seems to be dropping this course and i probably won't need to come back next week. sigh...

i'm very happy to announce that there's currently a GREAT deal for ATNT Broadband service. On a TV commercial last night, ATNT was advertising a $19.95/month for the first 6 months if you sign up now. The problem was this offer was for new customers only and the definition of new customers was that you didn't have AT&T Cable services within 60 days prior new installation. I got mines installed last friday on a different deal: $29.95/month for first 3 months. You can tell it isn't AS HOT immediately as the current promotion. So I gave them a called and asked if I could switch over to the new plan, but the CSR (customer service rep) said i had to be a new customer to get this plan. I said i've only been a customer for a week and since i'm on no contract, i could easily cancel this service and reapply. (@ this time, i didn't know about the 60 day rule). welp, there ya go, she brought up the 60 day rule alright. I then suggested that my roommate could always sign up for this service while I canceled mines since he is a 'new' customer. She put me on hold for 2minutes call back and said she'll do it for me. tada! nice eh?

here's the instructions if you want to try the same thing (you can't have a contract for this to work. but you can still try):

1. Call 1-888-262-6300 (ATNT Broadband Customer Service)
2. Press 1 on your phone for sales.
3. Mention you saw their TV commercial advertising $19.95/mo for the first 6 months.
4. Ask politely if you can switch over to this plan.
5. They probably respond that this promotion is only for new customers.
6. Tell them that you don't have a contract and can easily cancel this service and then reactivate it with the new promotion.
7. They'll probably respond that new customers are people that didn't have ATNT cable service for at least 60 days.
8. Tell them that if that's the case, you can cancel the service and tell your roommate to create a new account with their new promotion.
9. (this implies that you'll still get the promotion, but it'll be more work for them to cancel/setup your service)
10. If they still deny you, hang up and try again in 30minutes and hope you'll get a nicer customer rep.
11. REMEMBER: THERE'S NO HARM IN TRYING MULTIPLE TIMES. ALL THEY CAN DO IS DENY YOU.

welp, this mid-afternoon report will be short since i'm doing one tonite. ^_^x

sigh, i'm #1 on the wait list for my german class. hope i get in. hope i get in. *crosses fingers* but then i'm @ a dilenma where I need to catch up on 200pgs of reading. sigh... to attack or not to attack. if attack, you're @ a disadvantage. if not attack, it's giving up before even trying. sigh...

my friend crimsonangel posted up this link. warning: content may not be suitable for children under 17. in some way it's disgustingly gross. in other ways, it's hilarious what other parents post up on the reviews. oh yeah, i forgot to mention that the reviews are what you're suppose to be checking out.

today will also be the last day I'll be posting on OCF. from tomorrow, only the new site will be getting updates and OCF will have a forwarder to the new URL. thanks to PuchikoChan who directed me to .hack //Sign OST1. now you can feast your ear on the 2 pieces which people have been raving about.

*drum rolls* @ 9/3 12:09am, both sueon and crabyaple im me and tell me about this earthquake that just ran through monterey park. they said it wasn't too bad but these always come so unexpected, they're so scary. i mean this one wasn't so bad, but who knows how strong the next one will be when it strikes. *shivers*

well, our 3 day weekend is over. lorie and dan invited us cunndogg and i over for a bbq tonite. it was fun and sure brought back a lotta memories chatting about old times. the funniest part was we were lost for an hour trying to find their place. silly us thought we would remember how to get there. all we needed to do was walk up euclid and turn right on eunice. hehe.

if you haven't noticed, i added my class schedule to the menu. before u come asking me why i'm taking german, it's an comp/lit class to fulfill one of my humanities. it was the only thing still open that fitted my schedule. stupid english classes are so FILLED this semester. i also redid the menu pix to shrink their size. i hope you guys liked the doodles i put up yesterday. ^_^x

just an update on ninjai. the 7th episode has come out so if you haven't seen it yet. it's pretty cool. ^_^x

it's the beginning of a new month and guess what! NO SCHOOL TOMORROW! hehe. anyway, slicktran came up to North Cal today and ohfuee sorta gave him a tour of berkeley. slicktran's appearance was quite unexpected for no one knew he was coming till he popped up yesterday.
christine: so you slept with sam last nite
slictran: yah
bobybear: you know, that's politically incorrect

i've been mass downloading anime for the past 2 days since i got my cable connection. the atnt connection here is a lot better than what i had to go through last year. well, that was before i made my network of intranet friends where speeds went up to 5megs/sec. musta put a lotta stress on my harddrive. it's worse this year for incoming freshmans because the new limit is only 5gb. YUCK YUCK YUCK!

the current dreambook links dont seem to be working on this new server. i'll try to resolve that asap, but no one usually talks in there anyway. my new service comes with a forum utility which i might be checking out later. hehe.

and as promised, my sketches are up. so check out the doodle section. ^_^x (after a bit tweaking, i also implemented cunndogg's special ps7 trick and made the file even SMALLER! wow!
