I’ve been swamped at work of late, and we’ve been out and about a fair bit when not working to decompress. That’s why the blog and Livejournal had gone dead of late, and it’s taking me ages to get back to anyone on e-mails and Instant messaging (among other things, that are done with…). We just got back from a three day weekend with family out on the Olympic Peninsula, and this week looks to be even more hectic. It’s the Bite of Seattle, Dolores O’Riordan is playing Seattle, and some crappy book is coming out on Friday (pre-delivered from Amazon, w00t!).
And, if all goes well, I may be the owner of one of these bad boys for only $350 this week, rather than the $550 retail price. Long, convoluted story. Suffice it to say, Sprint takes care of customers with accounts dating back over ten years for their cellular service when push comes to shove. For the nerds out there, yes, I know a ‘newer’ model with Windows Mobile 6 is out this very week. I don’t need nearly the firepower that model has, and I specifically need Windows Mobile 5 for my purposes. This model will easily last me 1.5 to 2.5 years, I’d imagine. It’s not the best smartphone for Sprint. That would probably be the IP-830W, but that’s a sexy international model. Which I can’t afford, and again, Windows Mobile 6. Alas.
I do love having a million things to do, though. It’s refreshing. So is the nice tan I got this weekend, and the fact that I spent time in as close the real world is going to get to the Misty Mountains. Just gorgeous, out there.
