Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Also, as far as I can tell, there's no way to call an international number using a US cellphone.

I could call Jamaica and the UK and I think Russia and Kenya--but certainly the first two--from my Cingular phone.

And you can get a SIM card with a contract (that's what I intend to do--buy an unlocked phone and just sign up with T-Mobile and get their SIM).

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

You can totally call international from a US cell. The only trick is to use the plus sign with the country code and then the number. So a UK number would be +44 873 4752 or something. (In the UK and Ireland you have to drop the 0 at the beginning of numbers, I don't know if that's true for Greece.)

ita, I thought you might be able to get a SIM with a contract, but I thought you were asking about pay as you go's.

I was. Raq didn't think you could get a SIM in the US, though, and I wanted to correct that.

Sorry to interrupt the cell phone talk, but I just wanted to post that according to Jim "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Aug 14, 2005 11:53:06 pm PDT , today is Clara's birthday.

Happy second birthday, big girl! I hope you're all healthy now, too. And, of course, happy day to Fiona and your big brother and all your family.


Fiona - Aug 10, 2007 8:52:35 am PDT #8522 of 9843

Thank you, Nilly! She had a lovely (though very wet) birthday. I posted some pictures in Natter.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Beautiful children, Fiona! I added you as a contact. I'm leszlaw on Flickr. And Happy Two to Clara!

I wonder if Aimee's seen that.

I wonder if Aimee's seen that.

It's definitely a cautionary tale. "Remember folks, spay and neuter your pets. Especially camels."

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Oh dear, that's rather unfortunate timing. The group my Cellars are a part of, have just changed their name to Thirsty Camel.

bwahahahaha
