Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think magnets can be bad for watches. I don't know if that's always the case. I seem to be able to make non-digital, or at least the kinds with little gears, run backwards.

ETA: Perhaps it's more correct to say I make them slow down, but that pretty much feels like the same thing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I seem to need more explanation. Are magnets bad for watches?

Old watches, anyway, which this one was. I think newer mechanical watches are made with gears that can't be magnetized.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I did not know that. Good thing I keep my cow magnets and DH's pocket watches in separate rooms...

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I want to get an android phone when my contract comes up. Anyone know much about those?

The one I have is so piss poor right now, it's a crapshoot whether I can actually call someone or have it not constantly drop calls. To text, I have to hold it up in the air and hit send.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My phone isn't even on that list. Hmph.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I want to get an android phone when my contract comes up. Anyone know much about those?

I have the G1 phone, which was the first to use the android platform, and my Girl has the G2 Touch. I adore my G1, especially with its little pull-out qwerty keyboard. I have now synchronized my entire life via Google. I care not that this makes them the new evil consumerist we-run-the-universe corporation. I can remember my appointments again.

The Girl likes her G2 Touch, but gets frustrated with the fiddly virtual keyboard. I couldn't use one of those.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

DJ, you're not alone: my BFF also has the power to make watches run slow; finally they just give up and stop.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I just hope my watch lives until the end of the year. I'm hoping for a trip to Disneyland so I can replace my Mickey. He has been my reliable friend for many years.

The iPhone is pretty bad, but I wonder if that's mitigated by the fact that I hardly ever use it as a phone?

From what I've read so far over there, yes. They recommend using a headset or texting, so that the phone's not an inch away from your skull when it's transmitting.

Yay! I needed something new to fret fruitlessly about!

Sorry.
