The Cell Phone Saga Part 3

I got my new cell phone this morning.
Amazon sent my stuff in 2 shipments, and the first one they sent (the USB Bluetooth adapter) hasn’t gotten here yet. Go figure.

The phone is very cool, and is charging now. The headset is very cool too, and is now done charging.

I have called T-Mobile to transfer my number over to them. It took me 5 minutes on the phone. I was told it can take up to 7 days for the change to take place. I’ll let my readers (all two of you) know when it actually happens.

Next: Time to fill out those horrible rebates.

The Cell Phone Saga Part 2

Well, I finally bough my new cellphone. I got it through Amazon.com. Soon I’ll receive my new t610 (sorry, to t630 yet). Plus I got a bluetooth USB adapter for my mac. And the deal included a Jabra bluetooth headset for free. After rebates and all the involved pain, I should be all set for wireless nirvana… at least for a year, until my new contact with T-Mobile expires and I start hunting for a new cell phone again.

I should receive all this next week, and then we’ll see how the number portability thing goes.

FIFA 2004 Tournament

Yesterday, EA Sports held a FIFA 2004 Tournament in the bar Cain and Abel’s.Of course I went. Being as addicted to this videogame as I am, I did very well. Made it to the final where I played none other than my FIFA nemesis: David Levinson. I’ve been playing him since the game first came out for Sega Genesis and now in Austin I play him in the final of a tournament. Well, we tied 0-0 and the lucky bastard beat me in penalty shootout.On the upside, I got a free t-shirt and a free blowup soccer ball. Also, it should be noted that I did not receive a single goal during the whole tournament.

My rib is not broken!

NI Eagles fell 1-0 against old time rival Cameron Road United. They broke our 8-win streak. For a moment there I thought they also broke one of my ribs but x-rays have now confirmed that nothing is broken – perhaps cracked but not broken for sure.

Well, we’ll see if in a few days I can start laughing or sneezing without pain.

Use the comments section on this post for those “get well soon” wishes. This will also serve as a sick experiment to see if anyone actually reads the articles in this website and not only come here for the pictures.

FIFA 2004… I have it!

I was so happy to see in the back of the box a picture of Monterrey VS America (Arellano and Cuauhtemoc perhaps?).
The off-the-ball gameplay sounds like a fantastic idea although we’ll see how well I can really control two players using both analog sticks… doesn’t sound easy. And the level of detail is fantastic, Monterrey’s uniform has the logo with two stars, the orange stripes, the Carta Blanca on the back, the Atletica brand… everything!

Now let’s wait for others to get it and it will be online kicking but.

Matrix Revolutions

Last night I saw the new Matrix movie.
Reviewers don’t seem to like it too much. What do they know? Go see it, it’s great! (don’t worry… no spoilers here).
In my opinion, it’s much better than Reloaded and even better than the first one.
