Sunday was our 1 year anniversary. (awww). Though i'm in the middle of studying, and my sister was in town, so I think we're going to celebrate after my exam- I'm thinking a couple days in Block Island. We can even do it during the week to avoid weekend rates/crowds.
But after Steve Martin on friday, we saw Louis CK on sunday- who is very funny, but perhaps a little too heavy on the masturbation jokes.
Chris gave me a funny little tote bag that says 'Rhode Island. 3% larger at low tide'
heh
And a little hipster tshirt with a picture of a bridge in providence. Now I feel very local and trendy. ;)
It's so nice to be back home. I love this little state. :)
But, the cell reception is crap-ola... the AT&T guy told me it's because there's some town ordinance (or something) that won't let them put up cell towers, because they might block peoples' view. Grr.
But so having 0-1 bars in my HOUSE sucks. Until yesterday, when I discovered AT&T's "3G Microcell". It's $150 but then there's a $100 rebate... so basically a one time purchase of $50, and you get this box that you plug into your router... and it's like a mini cell tower in your house. Now I have 5 bars in my house. No service contract, no monthly fee, no nothing. LOVE IT!
Also, thinking of having a housewarming party/bbq over labor day weekend, but need to get an idea of if people will actually be available and/or willing to come.
Finally, an awesome little video (it's quick, so watch it!) and the requisite pix of my niece.
And now, back to studying! Have a good week, peeps!
How safe are those microcells?
i love that baby. she's so cute. nieces are the best and cutest. yay for being in love, that's cute too!
People in other room so didn't watch the Video.
Congrats!
Glad you liked Louise CK. Heard he is funny but never seen him live
It boosts a signal, or adds 3G signal where there isn't any. But yes, you have to already be an AT&T customer to buy one, and it will only let AT&T 3G phones to use its signal. Though I believe Verizon and others have similar devices.
You have to register phones online in order for them to be able to use the signal- it's not like anyone walking near your house will suddenly get a signal boost. But still for me, it's perfect. My house was a dead zone, and now it's not! And it works out that Chris and my whole fam are all on ATT.
LOL @ staying positive but unhinged.
So this microcell thing - does it just boost your signal or gives you extra 3G access? Can you get access to AT&T 3G networks when you don't have an At&t contract to begin with?
