Google Voice

I recommend Google Voice for everyone. Not because it's an amazing tool that helps you keep track of all of your voicemails, or because it sends you text messages and emails if you aren't able to pick up the phone, or even because it has an endless archive like Gmail. But use Google Voice because it attempts to transcribe everything, which is pretty funny.

Usually, it's pretty accurate (actual words in red):

Hey Sarah. It's Colin [Helen], I was just wanted to let you know that we decided not to do. Roy is [Roy's] for Dine about town because they have a prefix menu all year round, so anything about doing lose. [Ruth] Chris is [Chris's] steakhouse.[?] Instead, 3 [we] changed, it's a Thursday night at 7:15 so let me know if you could make it or not the best. The reservation that I'm gonna make instead. So don't go to voicemail [Roy's]. Because we're not gonna be there. Okay. Feel free to call me tomorrow or tonight whenever. Okay bye.

Sometimes it can't figure out that someone just simply forgot to hang up the phone after the beep:

Hello hello hello hello hello.

Sometimes it's a bit inaccurate:

Hey at. Intellion. I'm just sitting on the gym, so if you can't Vegas a home that would be. Sorry it to you later to you later. Let me know. Hey. Yeah, call me back or Yeah. Okay bye.

But there are those times my mother leaves a message in Konglish (Korean+English):
Home
1/17/10 11:43 PM
On then I'll Monday 68. All my got people coming out and put something and goodbye.

Best when they are longer:
Mom

"You and I" by Ingrid Michaelson

New Song of the Month! -->

Enough for Now

One of my favorite bands is The Fray. I can (and have) listen to their albums on repeat for hours. Amazing melodies with incredibly beautifully written lyrics. They have this song called "Enough for Now" that I have listened to and "sang" along with at least 78 times since the album was released. By "sing" I mean today I realized every third word was not an actual word. Something like "Vlear to no for now" when it's actually "That's enough for now" (I'm serious, I would actually sing that). So I looked up the lyrics...and then the meaning of those lyrics. Break my heart Fray!

Step 4: Go hug your dad. And grandpa. And grandma. And mom.

Quote Burrito End Quote

Went to grab some grub and of course I'm craving a burrito. No taquerias in this city, but found a Mexican place. Ordered a burrito that cost me $14.07 and ate it with a knife and fork. How dare they call this a "burrito"

Same with this place called Shake Shack, maybe you've heard of it. You wait an hour to pay $20 to eat a burger the size of my palm, fries, and a small shake.

Food here is fabulous, but burritos and burgers cannot compare...

Best of the Bay

So with my recent Yelp craze, all which have been 3+ stars, I discovered you can make lists. This made me remember a draft of a blog post I had made a couple months ago, which is now published on the food blog. Will be transferred to Yelp if I should ever get around to rating all of those on the list. Not likely, but FYI, all will be 5 stars :)
