elfsSo, I went and read the Portal of Evil thread, and most of it was amusing. The one thing that annoyed me most was the comment about Omaha; there was no reason for some braindead moron to question her taste or motives in marrying me. Sweet Osiris, it's just a story. It's not like I spent more than a few hours amusing myself on it, and now it generates endless hours of controversy and entertainment.
Ah, well.
Great gifts cost negative dollars. Omaha and I upgraded our cell phones over Christmas; we went from our free Nokia 6002's to "free" (with 2-year service agreements, of course) 6010's, which are smaller and have prettier screens. We switched from the AT&T network to the original Cingular, and are getting much better performance and coverage for our effort. But they're still cheap phones, with minescule displays, little data handling capacity, and they're the "candybar" rather than "flip" configurations. And they don't have cameras. Ah, well.
We're still getting used to the phones, and they don't have all of our old contact information in them, so we're waiting for people to call us so we can put their data in. And we saved money by doing the switch; about six bucks a months on our service agreement and forty bucks with the first month free deal.
Ann Coulter would like to remind her muslim readers that "If we'd invaded your countries, killed your leaders and converted you to Christianity YOU'D ALL BE OPENING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS RIGHT ABOUT NOW!"
No, really. She said that. She repeated her line. When is the right going to distance itself from this fruitcake?
The President of Uzbekistan is apparently unhappy with what's going on in neighboring Ukraine. My favorite quote: "It is unnacceptable to use democracy to take over power."
Ah, well.
