BoA Kwon Trivia Quiz

October 5, 2007 in Uncategorized with 2 Comments

Apparently BoA Kwon is a big deal in Asia. A hot shot, young pop star, who at age 20, has a slew of albums and record sales under her belt. Who knew? Not me.

Anyways, like any good site that caters to the demo that would be most likely to care about such a girl, we made a nice little Quibblo quiz, to test your BoA Kwon knowledge. You can find the BoA Kwon Quiz here.

Supposedly, this girl is making the move to the US shortly, so keep your eyes and ears open. And if and when she becomes a big deal over here, you can credit me with keeping you informed of useless crap like this…before anyone else.

Blackberry Curve In Hand

October 2, 2007 in Miscellaneous with 0 Comments

After blood, sweat, and tears all shed haggling the price of the Blackberry Curve down to $249 through T-Mobile (as an existing customer…not a new one…thank you very much!), I now have it in hand.

It is one sexy little device.

Much slimmer and sleeker than my 8700, and with camera, video capabilities, wi-fi, and some other fun little bells and whistles. Still getting used to moving to the trackball from the scroll wheel, but so far so good.

What I am exited to have again, is the camera. I never thought when I moved from the Treo 600 (with camera) to the Blackberry 8700 (without camera) that I would miss it, but I did. I also love snapping photos and uploading them to Flickr seconds later, right from my phone. So now you can see things like the turkey sandwich I had from Trescas for lunch. Riveting stuff. The internet is awesome!

Anyways, it’s a great little phone and I look forward to using it for a couple of months until RIM comes out with some other device that renders this one uncool.

And if you like the turkey sandwich photo (’cause I know ya do!), keep track of my cell phone photo activity in this little stream.

F The Noise, Let’s Just Play Some Baseball

October 2, 2007 in Boston with 2 Comments

A friend of mine sent me this link the other day, and it dead on sums up how most old school Sox fans feel about the state of…ugh…”Red Sox Nation”.

I have considered myself a Sox fan since 1986, when at eight years old, I watched Dave Henderson hit a completely improbably home run off of the Angels Donnie Moore in game 5 of the ALCS. When my dad jumped up from his seat and was screaming at the TV, I knew that baseball meant something around here. From then on, I was hooked. I went to games on my birthday every year, collected baseball cards (separating out the Red Sox players for safe keeping), met Mike Boddicker and Jody Reed at a baseball card show, and pretended to be Ellis Burks when playing wiffle ball in the back yard.

Without getting into the whole blog-tired spiel that has been gone over 10,000 times before by other Sox fans, let’s just say that somewhere along the way, things changed. Rallys, Sox Appeal, Pink Hats, Red Sox Nation (the official Red Sox Nation), and furniture store promos have all done something to cheapen the experience of being a fan. It’s getting to the point where I almost want the Red Sox to go 50 and 112 for the next two years, just to purge out all of those dinks that show up to Fenway in the 4th inning, do the wave for 3 innings, and then leave in the 7th to “beat traffic”. Seriously, choke on your Wally dolls and die.

Pink Hats

Smittblog says it perfectly

because I’m a Red Sox fan, I’m thrown in this group of assholes known as “Red Sox Nation” and what comes with that association is a bunch of shit I never bought into or deserve for that matter. I’m a Sox fan and sometimes (most times) I’m a complete asshole about it. But I do it in my own unique way that has NOTHING TO DO with membership cards or worrying about meaningless division leads or buying “Ultimate Fan Packs” OR WATCHING A DEBATE ABOUT A FAKE PRESIDENT OF A FAKE ORGANIZATION THAT WAS CREATED TO EXPLOIT MY LOYALTY TO MY FUCKING TEAM! I don’t want any of that and I never signed up for this shit.

So enough with the rally and the extraneous BS…let’s play some baseball.
