This is the phone Mr. Jane got me for my birthday. I lurvs it. Its name is Marvin.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My Nokia e61i isn't the smartest of smartphones (and it's certainly not cool), but I have the unlimited data plan and the minimum minutes, and that's about how I use it. I wish it had more memory and a better browser, but not quite enough to go shopping for a new phone. I have OS and carrier issues.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.
Oh, I'm sure. Once you have one, you use it all the time and find new ways to use it. It's like how I can't imagine not having a cell phone at all now even though I went all through college without one.
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.
That is way cool! It's an extension of the new ATMs that can just eat your check and read the amount on it magically, saving you from having to deal with deposit slips and tellers.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'd rather take a picture of the check and have the iPhone spit out the cash.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Mmm, noodles. (My mom was ordering Chinese food, and I asked for rice noodles with sesame sauce. She didn't know whether I meant the wide rice noodles or the skinny ones, so she got an order of each.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
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.I think that's English, but I don't quite understand the words. I was hesitant to get the iPhone. But the level of frustration in syncing contacts from an Apple was high, so I bit the bullet and did it. Life is all different now. I can't imagine not having e-mail on my hip. And all the cool apps. Heaven.

That would be awesome. But also bad.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
IIRC, it needs to be black tea, not green or hippie fruit tea, because the tannins in the black tea are what make the capillaries contract.
I started to say this, but suddenly it seemed too complicated to explain. I think my over-exposure to passive aggression over Thanksgiving broke my brain. Anyway, it's the tannins from Camellia sinensis leaves that you want.
Be sure to watch out for things with tiny seeds, Hil.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I love you all. There is showering and getting ready for work in my immediate future, but I wanted to say that before I went.

Well, except the ATM can read the MICR code on the check. I'm not sure the Apple app does that.
