Blogging again.

Ok, I figure I'm long overdue for a blog...
2008 is here and there have been a few changes. I am now a permanent employee at ECU; I'm off probation now! The Mustang is GONE. I sold it. It was getting tiresome. I like the car, it wasn't quite "modern" enough for me... most notably no keyless entry and no cup holders. I shoulda got a '94 or '95 - last of the 5.0's or better yet, I probably could of found an older Mustang Cobra. Oh well, can't have it all. But literally, I sold my car in ONE DAY. I listed it on craigslist at lunch on a Friday and a guy came with cash money Friday night. I made him wait a couple days before I handed the keys over to him since I hadn't gotten a new car yet. I got a 2008 Honda Civic LX four door. I'd post a picture, but well, its a Civic. I see new ones around town all the time. I really wanted a Civic Si sedan, but they a bit out of budget. I keep joking with Becky that the civic needs about 400 horsepower and then I would be happy with it. But at least I got the 5 speed, so that makes the car a little less boring. But now I have a car that get about 24 mpg in town instead of 13. Big improvement.

Changing the subject, I installed Vista on my computer at the beginning of the year. I was able to get a legit copy of Vista Business last semester for 25 bucks, so I figured I'd take the plunge. So far, its worked pretty good. I have found some stuff that doesn't work with Vista.

Then, this week, Becky and I each got a new toy... new cell phones. We bought them straight out from Motorola. It wasn't as cheap as getting them from US Cellular, but then we aren't locked in another 2 year contract...like thats a big deal. They are nifty little mp3 phone that came with a 512 meg AND a 1 gig micro sd card. It even has a real headphone jack for whatever headphones you like. My only complaint is that all these phones nowadays are "pocket phones"... no clip/hoster/case is included. I bought a cheap holder from the store where got them activated at, but I hate it. We both had Razr's previously and I had found a nice leather case from Best Buy that worked really good. I found something on Amazon similar to my old holder that maybe I won't hate. I hope it comes soon...
