I'm also realizing that I *could* buy the smartphone through their Web site, since I don't need it right away, unlike The Boy (who needs a new phone ASAP, since his old one bit the dust).
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hadn't fully realised that walking away after asking a price could so clearly be interpreted as code for bargaining. Got me more than 50% off my favourite leather coat--I was seriously just asking the price of something I had no intention of buying, but he took my walking away as hard bargaining. I think I ended up paying 1/3 of list.
Be firm. Honestly mean to walk away.
Is there a reason you're not availing yourself of the web specials? (eta: since answered)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Smartphones are very hard to bargin over now. They are top of the list of WANT.
and now vs. 30.00 might be worth the money.

Also, Steph, if you don't need one right away (or don't need to use the idea of buying two phones to get a bargain), you might want to wait for January sales.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I have no idea about the bargaining.
I took a Vicodin. Mostly, it made me sleepy. A little less pain, too.

I actually don't even need a new phone at all, and didn't even really WANT one until last night. (I had been toying with getting an iPod Touch, but I didn't do that, either.) My current low-end phone does just fine.
But since The Boy *has* to go to the phone store, I started looking on their Web site to see what they have that might be fun.

I had ice cream. Now my mom's ordering Chinese food, and I'm getting noodles.
Options for the rest of the afternoon: nap, watch TV, read Twilight.

I have no desire for a new phone either! My dragon phone serves me well, and it's RAZR thin and shit, so since I have no intention of paying twenty to thirty bucks more a month for a data plan, I don't need one of those fancy-schmancy phones with the Internet inside them.

Trust my rage
See, having my phone has totally changed the way I live. I'm always a little shocked to look at my phone bill and see just how much data I use in a month.
Speaking of my phone, I discovered that I can now deposit money in my checking account with an iPhone app. I just take a picture of the front and back of the check and the money is deposited instantly.
