Welcome T-Mobile
I officially made the switch to T-Mobile over the weekend, leaving behind about 6000-7000 minutes worth that have rolled over in the past year on my Cingular account. So far, I am much more impressed with T-mobile's people than Cingular. The guy helping us was knowledgeable and answered most of my questions, which I had a lot of. Also, he gave me a free month of unlimited internet on my phone, and gave me and my sister each a $25 gift certificate for anywhere in Oakbrook (Jokebrook) Mall, which was nice.
Still, being the sentimental person I am, it was hard to say goodbye to the past 2 and a half years of being with Cingular. One thing I always think of is when I used to drive back to Champaign, and watching for my phone's display to change from "Cingular Roam" to "Cingular", so I could call Olivia and talk to her the rest of the way without racking up a lot of charges. Usually, it would change pretty much right at the sign for "Champaign County" on I-57.
The switch also means I have to retire my old Nokia 8260 and replace it with the slightly longer, but lighter and thinner 6610. The 6610 is newer, has a lot more features, including color screen and polyphonic ringtones, but I'll still always fondly remember the bright blue LED's of my 8260 and its simple ghetto monophonic (?) Britney Spears ringtone.
By the way, if anyone has any links to good sites for ringtones, hook a Chinese guy up. My sister showed me one that had "You Drive Me Crazy", and it sounded good on the site. But when I eventually downloaded it to my phone, it sounded choppy and messed up. So I'm still looking for a good one.

Happy Birthday to Dennis, who turns 24 on this day.

Another highlight of the weekend was playing craft with P and Anuj. Even though we sucked, the tradition must continue. Feel free to join us, even better if you want to play with an Illini name (brown11 and smith45 are taken).

Oh yeah, yay for catching Saddam Hussein. Howard Dean has been pissing me off. It's stupid when your political campaign's success hinges on the continuation of American troops getting screwed in Iraq and us not finding Saddam. Anyways, hopefully Bin Laden will be next.
