BB / Tonga Room Updates

BB Update: So my continual fight with my updated Blackberry's alarm system continues. For those that do not remember, I updated the software and this caused my alarm to not go off (well, it actually went off on the screen it just did not go off in terms of sound). So, thinking I could outsmart the thing instead of turning it on quiet like normal I turned it on loud before going to sleep. Of course this caused me to wake up to BBMs at 6:02am (I hate you Sir Zeth), which is what I feared but I figured I would just chalk it up as a battle scar. The 9a hour rolls along and the same thing happend: no alarm sound. I then proceeded to go on some BB blogs during class and OF COURSE the solution, like the solution to all other BB problems (like the previous BBM alphabetical problem) is to take the battery out. I have tested it by setting the alarm for 11:58p, and like magic, the alarm works even when on silent.

My war with technologies continues. Hopefully I will get a good night's sleep now that I can put my BB on silent without worrying whether the alarm will go off at the desired hour.

Tonga Update: Does anyone (Sir Darkness?) know if the Tonga Room is actually closing as was detailed in a February article in some random SF newspaper article? I tried looking for this online but nothing comes up (have big graduation plans for the place in May, the tab should be able to cover for relocation expenses). However, I did find a PETITION to keep the Tonga Room open. There are some great comments on the site so if you're feeling a little down today, just read a few. One of my favorites: "I had one of the best nights of my life here. I traveled from the UK especially to visit this legendary place. Please recognise your history!" Now that is dedication.

Sayounara,

P.S. Great response today from my G-chat status that was an actual Sir Sno-mander quote. For those not on the aforementioned messenger, his quote was: "Dude, i am averaging 400 bucks a weekend spent in nyc."
