Blackberry Storm T-Mobile, Questions, Answers

Awesome news.

In my ongoing quest to find out what’s wrong with my Curve and figure out how to get a Storm, the charming and seductive Tara of T-Mobile helped me find out a few things in our hour plus together:

1) She hunts and has a boyfriend.
2) She’s going to watch the 2GG trailer.
3) There are two T-Mobile towers down in the area, and this happened right around when mine went wonky. This has been diagnosed as the problem.
4) If I went over and helped fix the tower myself, that probably won’t make things happen any faster, even though I can bring my own hammer.

And the most important thing ever…

5) Verizon only has a one-year exclusive on the Storm – T-Mobile will have it next year around this time.

This is actually a good thing – it gives them a year to get the glitches out for me, I don’t have to switch carriers, and by this time next year, we’ll probably be three more generations of phone forward.

All I have to do now is hold out.

Thanks to the new widgets in the sidebar, everything should be a little more orderly around here. I’m toying with the idea of a different template, but I don’t want to get over-excited and make things complicated.

(I’ll be streamlining the YAYsports! set-up and archives sometime soon, so certain things are easier to find for the historically inclined.)

One new thing here is the contact form, which has already yielded some neat questions. (I think I was rediscovered by some lapsed YAY readers when I rec’d a TrueHoop link the other day.)

Let’s roll through them:

Are you gay?

No.

Are you stupid?

Technically, no. Measured by real-life actions, without a doubt.

your old website sucked anyway

I think I agreed with this to some extent, although I caught myself going through the archives of both YAY and Hey, Deer the other day, and I have to say I’m pretty good at this sometimes.

I had another site I was going to put on the network back then called Trollr, where I would email people who wrote letters in magazines, trying to pick fights with them over what they wrote.

I did a couple test cases, and it was hilarious. Imagine being all excited about having your letter to People Weekly published, and some idiot randomly emails to tell you your opinion of Angelina Jolie is dumb and you shouldn’t be allowed to use email ever again.

That was the jist of it. I’m planning a personal, mini-version of this where I’m going to email by brother about the Star Trek trailer, and how much better it is than original Star Trek.

Will you email me the Eastham Way poem that 2WO G2N G2Y is based on? You said you would.

Eastham actually returned one of my emails and said it is in fact online. I couldn’t find it, but if he says it is, it is.

How do you pronounce your last name?

It rhymes with “faith”.

test

I sent this one to myself. It worked!

Anyway, that’s all – the funny thing is my email is like the easiest thing to either figure out and/or find, but I like to seem pretentious by having an important contact form.

Cavs-Nets! Victory!
