Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Even ordinary Cubans get to have cell phones now! [link]

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Hivemind question: do you text from your cell phone? Why or why not? Do you think texting is becoming increasingly popular?

Sometimes, esp. when I'm stuck somewhere for ages with no computer access. (Ask Cass. She gets the brunt of my bored texts.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Last time I moved, I gave the tenant replacing me my cell number, so I could drop of keys etc., and she texted me instead of calling me, and I was like What did you doooooooo?

And that was when I looked behind me and noticed my dinosaur tail. It was a big moment.

I wonder if incoming college students will be all over the texting soon.

At this point undergraduates complain when you use e-mail for courses. They say "E-Mail is for old people!" According to them, you should communicate by texting and via your Facebook page.

yeah there's really no difference (except for me because I don't have a qwerty keyboard on my phone so i'm way slower on it).

I had a student claim he should be excused from penalty for missing a class without notice because he posted it to my assistant's Facebook Page!

I am hearing this from people I work with, too. They literally don't check their email!! WTF.

not your mom's socks.

I text a lot - especially w/ my sister. I'm getting used to the new keyboard, but am laughing at/with the COMMs.

because now I really, really want to claw out someone's eyeballs.

wishes I could go sit with shrift & keep my eyeballs.

folks. just because my minion went on leave today, and I sent an email regarding that, does not mean it is now time for you to have urgent issues that need priority attention... you were warned. You just forgot. Now go away. Or use your brains. Or both.
