what time we waste with these shiny devices

I got a new phone. I got it 'for free' (replacement New Every 2 thing from Verizon) with as much combadibitily as I could get without having to shell out more money. I have now spent 4+ days figuring out how to make and transfer a ringtone and I'm still not satisfied with how it transfered. The sad thing about all this is one of the "whistles" on this phone is a microS/transFlash card. So if i was not cheap, I could have made this transfer in like 3 minutes. And probably in the end I will end up buying a card and adapter set for my g4. Highly complicated.

For the first time ever I have a camera on my phone. Oh? You'd like to *see* some photos I've taken with my phone? That will be like another 4 days of work for me to figure out how to get them off the stupid camera.

It's been a busy weekend. Ran down to da'Springs yesterday to do pysanky with a couple of friends. We're thinking about doing this once a month or so, since you should never do pysanky alone. It was a good day all things considering. I fortunately didn't have to drive. Originally I was going to, but as I pulled in to pick up a friend, my car started leaking green fluid. It was fortunate because I was 3 blocks from our car-fixing place and Guru was 9 blocks away at a bookstore. We were able to get it in to the Ford place and it was fixed by 3pm. I was already gone at that point, but we'll pick it up monday and no one will ever know. :)

House is still damage from leakage. We had a contractor sighting, but as of yet no work has been done on our place. Which probably means they will be here bright and early on Monday morning without a word from the apt mgt. But in 2 weeks we can start house shopping so they can go take a flying leap.
