Help a fella out? [Jul. 9th, 2009|09:23 pm]
[Tags|]

Does anybody know how to get ringtones OFF of a Motorola Razor? Bluetooth doesn't see them in the audio folder, and they are not on the SIM card.

-----

EDIT:

Situation:

Lap and I both have RAZRs. Lap got an iphone. My razr broke - I can't hear people when they call.

So I want to throw out mine, and use Laps old razr. Transferring simcard? Easy. Transferring address book? Easy. But my razr has ringtones I want to keep. So I want to take them OFF of the old razr, and then put them ON the new one.

Bluetooth doesn't see them.
I plugged the USB cord into it - the razr starts charging off my computer, so it IS connected. But the mac doesn't "just work" - finder doesn't see it. I've spent a very frustrating hour online, looking through various help fora.

The Aristocats was my all time favorite movie when I was little. My god has it aged badly. So many animation shortcuts, such awful pacing.

Yeah, some of the scenes are awesome. But only some.

EDIT: Okay, the awesome scenes are REALLY awesome, and it IS Phil in cat form.

Assigning problems from the book? Instead of starting from the beginning, and thinking "yes... yes... no.. yes.." or checking them off, or whatever you do...

Start at the END and otherwise do your identical process. Let me know what you think!

Is there a single human being who just LOVES one Steely Dan song, and HATES a different Steely Dan song?

I guess using the word "different" above made it kind of a silly question.

Before this evening, I thought I was the only person who noticed the parallels between the Jack Benny radio show and Seinfeld.

So I found a Jack Benny fan club page, and looked through the postings on the bulletin board. It was very weird seeing people respond to posts with in-jokes and tag-lines that I know, but I'm not used to other people knowing. It's like I grew up the only person who spoke a certain language, and was suddenly reunited with my People.

Occasionally I'd be motivated to respond to a post in a thread, but then I'd notice that the last response in the thread was in, like, 2004. For those of you keeping score, 2004 is now A Long Time Ago.

So there's the world in my car, Earth 1,now in the late 1940s, listening to the shows and being part of it. Earth 2, in about the 1970s, on you tube, watching them all old, reminiscing about the show. And Earth Prime, now, where Kay, Joe, and I still love them. But this new earth, Earth Whateverm where it is the early 2000s and all these people had this big conversation on the internet, finding each other, planning conventions, talking about what happened at the conventions, and I sit there, alone, reading.

Phil Harris died in 1995 - about when I got my Ph.D. I was going to say, "Wow, that wasn't that long ago" and then I realized it kinda was.

Dear world,

If you must write articles about Michael Jackson, please stop using lyrics from his songs as titles and headlines. Thank you.

I know it is superstition, and can tell you the scientific principle that makes it seem true even though it isn't.

But still - David, Farrah, and now Michael?

None of the news is making me miserable, but quick - which one has affected you most?


EDIT: It's been pointed out in the comments that I forgot Ed McMahon, and Walter Cronkite is not at all well.

So, of the five, whose death has affected you most?

It's so bad in Iran its almost St. Paul

I rarely (I.E. Never so far) have posted a blog link in my LJ. It is by a former member of my troupe. I think those of you who are liberally minded will get a kick out of it.

We keep a shopping list on the refrigerator, so if either of us notices we need to buy something, we can just write it on the running list. The system broke down because we ran out of pens and keep forgetting to buy more.

I think I'm on a list [Jun. 20th, 2009|08:20 am]
My email today:

"I am shocked that your company removed David Letterman's ads over the "Palin" joke. This is an over-reaction to a joke. Yes, it was in bad taste. What comedian doesn't???? The whole joke was taken out of context and his intent was not on a minor!! He did give a formal apology. Here the issue should be dropped. But, oh my, Palin's feelings were hurt. LET US NEVER DO THAT!!!!

I certainly did not like the joke, nor am I a fan of David Letterman, but your reason to pull the ads were certainly unwarrented and a typical knee-jerk reaction. So much for dining at Olive Garden!!!! I frequent Olive Garden often and so do my family and friends but never again!!! I wonder if you ever made a mistake or told a joke in bad taste?? Maybe you should be fired! Heaven forbid if anyone gives an apology!! "
-------------------------
My response:
Why on Earth are you writing to me?

You never should have gone to the Olive Garden in the first place, because you are not smart enough to go there.
