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.

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.

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.

Oh good lord. That made me think about my whole phone situation, and I realized that I've been texting more than I thought and paying more than I thought! Now I have a plan.

I love my Android G1. I can use it as a compass! I can check in for flights! I can sync multiple email accounts, use Google Maps to find directions and restaurants near me, surf the internets, add things to my Netflix queue, find movie times... but I admit that I'm biased.

My loathing for using my cellphone may just pay off, though I do have the thing activated and at my hip all through the workday.
