I’m going on vacation with my dad for a week. We’re heading to Tennessee to crappie fish. (Not “crappily fish”…smartass.) Maybe get some bass fishing in there too if they’re biting.
So, with me out in the middle of bumblefart, I won’t be updating the redneck quotes. I will, however, be adding a Twitter sidebar widget to this site. I might actually post stuff to twitter, too. I can do this from my phone via a text message, so there should be multiple updates per day. By “should”, I mean “don’t expect it, but it may happen after pigs fly”. Later!

Sorry, Greg, the slvr just wasn’t cuttin it. Plus, I figured I could drop around a benjamin on a smartphone and see if I like it. If so, I’d buy an iPhone. If not, I wouldn’t have to regret spending five of them. I picked up an unlocked Blackberry 7105t on Ebay. Used, of course, a bit scratched up, but fully functional. I really didn’t think it would be that much better at getting service at home than the slvr because it (the BB) showed the same number of signal bars as the slvr. Later Sunday evening, I was sitting in the basement playing Oblivion when it rang. I picked up, and an 8-minute long conversation with my dad ensued. While I was in the basement. I didn’t even have to get up. With my slvr, I had to go to the upstairs bedroom and stand by the windows to get any sort of signal, and even then it was flaky. I loved the slvr – sleek, played mp3s, worked great everywhere else – but it just couldn’t cut it at the new house.
In other news, Melinda’s bird may be egg-bound. That means there’s an egg that needs to come out, but it’s stuck. It’s pretty much fatal if not operated on. Anyone have any coupons for kleenex?
edit: Kevin: hush.
edit 2: it was fatal.

I added a sidebar widget with the title “Yummy”. It’s my del.icio.us feed. (Get it? It’s word association! I’m so clever!) I’ve been using Jeteye to share links with myself between computers because I found their Firefox plugin a while back. I didn’t go with the del.icio.us Firefox plugin because at the time, it had some pretty bad reviews. Or some other reason. Whatever. Anywho, I was minding my own business checking what’s new on my Google Reader when I happened upon about 8 articles (each from a different site all pointing back to the same original…I love the internets) talking about this great new del.icio.us Firefox plugin. After del.icio.us finished dumping on my brand new account, I started moving all the links in my Jeteye account over. The del.icio.us plugin is easy to use, and (comparing to the Jeteye plugin) is light-years easier. Cmd (or ctrl) + D, tab, tab, type some tags, hit enter. With Jeteye, I don’t think there was any way to add a link via the keyboard. When the service worked. It’d randomly be down for upwards of a day once every couple of weeks. Good riddance.
In other news, I am, for some reason, interested in baseball this season. The Brewers (my home team) are 2-2 so far, but with last night’s showing, I doubt that first number will climb much. They lost
I just looked outside. It’s snowing. Hard. Like, dime- and penny-sized flakes. IT’S APRIL SEVENTH. *grumble grumble*
Right, the Brewers lost 9-3. The ‘crew got one in the 6th and the latter two in the 9th. Today’s game starts at noon, but I’m gonna hafta catch it on MLB’s Gameday online. Ah well. I could have gone to the game today for $5, but Melinda woulda been pissed. *sigh*. Some other day.
Gonna go downstairs and waste a couple hours in Oblivion. Weeeee
