Coldplay + Twitter +Roll up the rim +Vegas = Happy St. Patty's Day Post

Happy St. Patty's Day! Top o' the mornin' to ya!

Let's begin with good news items, shall we?

#1.) I would like to inform everyone that the Coldplay situation has been resolved and I will be at the show, sitting in the 22nd row on the floor, tapping a foot or two and whistling along as Christopher (yes, I like to believe we're not only on a first-name basis, but a first-name-lengthening basis) rocks out to "Lovers in Japan." Allow me a moment to bask in the gloriousness of my victory.

............................

Okay, moment's over. Next.

2.) I'm going to Vegas in 3 days. Speaks for itself- really!

3.) For all you Canadians out there, this next point will be especially poignant: I won a doughnut from rolling up my rim! Seriously, after all the cafe mochas I had to drink to get to that freaking doughnut, this one should probably be at the top of the list.

4.) I have my own domain now: www.lrlpalmer.com - I have a habit of skipping out on the www. part, but it doesn't work in some instances, this one being no exception. I tried. It said something about a naked domain. I was thinking: UMMM, excuse me but there is no nudity on my domain- thank you, very much! Either way, apparently my website really needs to know that the address you're looking for is on the world wide web. Otherwise it might go look in the forest somewhere, I suppose.

4.) Lastly, I deem it necessary right now to talk about my growing love affair with Twitter. I know, I know, the last thing the world needs right now is yet another social networking site. But because of my obvious adoration for all things internet, please trust me when I say that it's worth checking out! I've actually had Twitter for awhile and didn't use it because I was such an exclusive F-book user and didn't really care to figure out what it was all about. Even when I went back for my second take I was less than enthralled by it. After awhile, it grows on you and you finally begin to see what the commotion is all about. To say it's like the status update feature on F-book, while true to an extent, is a little bit of an understatement. But oddly enough, the status updates were what I used to check most often on the book anyway.

Do you remember the days when F-book was only for university students? I have a feeling that's part of what made it so insanely popular. The fact that it was made to be this elite network. When it was opened up to the "general public," people jumped on it like a water fountain in the desert. Smart going, Zuckerberg. 

I can distinctly remember being one of the first MUN students on there, and certainly the first of my friends (except for the American ones, who caught on long before my Canadian comrades). Anyway, point is, I'm just waiting for Twitter to explode like that. It's going to happen!

I'm a little off topic here. Let's get to the bad news.

You know, on second thought, let's not. There are so many bad things going on right now. So many bad things going on always. While it's good to know about that stuff, we don't need to hear about it constantly. The world is crappy enough without the news acting like a broken record that consistently reminds us of that fact. 

So back to my happy place. Coldplay. Vegas. Plus-side temperatures. Roll up the rim. Twitter........ etcetera, etcetera, so on and so forth.
