i was just looking through verizon's ringback tones. to my surprise there were a lot of ministry songs. and since the service doesn't seem too expensive, i actually thought about getting a song or two. (provided it's not 99 cents/song/month.) then i thought, since you can assign ringbacks to specific people, wouldn't it be cool if i got a unique ringback for a couple of entries in my directory? but then it occured to me that no one ever calls me, so it wouldn't be as cool as it first seemed. also, as i went through the songs, i saw some that would be very good to assign people in certain situations. or for people that really liked that song. for instance, i would assign hey mama to dad, since he likes it so much. and if my old boss still called me, i'd have to assign metallica's one to him, since he said that song makes him want to kill people. and, as you can imagine, for certain people, american idiot, hit 'em up style, or no scrubs would be pretty appropriate. i can tell you, if i had this sort of thing in high school - or at any point in my life where i received a lot of phone calls - i would be using the hell out of it. despite only ever getting calls from sohei, as well as the occasional call from my dad or sister, i am mightily tempted to get a ministry song. i'm trying to decide between so what and cannibal song.

oh well. i doubt sohei would be for it. though i do look forward to telling him that there's a wide selection of songs by bands he really likes. :wink:

speaking of getting him to part with money, we parted with quite a bit of it this weekend. we went over to tampa on saturday to buy my books. ouch. because school starts tomorrow. :shocked: of course, while there, we went to the used music store. where i finally found the verve cd i wanted, used, and bought it with some of my birthday money. (a storm in heaven, if you care. and, if you're like sohei, you don't.) on the way home, we managed to drive through the only tail of katrina that hit our area. of course. but we made it back alive. then, today/sunday we went to a store that sells instruments musical and drooled over some stuff. we ended up buying new strings for my bass, and his guitar, some picks, and - finally - a decent mic. i wanted this yamaha synthesizer, and he wanted this sweet black ibanez guitar (he was looking at this one and this one, i think, preferring the former), but since we spent so much on my books, he said we'd have to wait til another day. (i have just discovered that ibanez has an h.r. geiger series of guitars. sweeeet. :ooh: )

okay, i really need to go to bed.
