I also need a new phone. Seems to be a popular stance around here. Haven't looked at anything yet. Hmmm.

I had a nail fail for the PixDesign wedding unfortunately. Didn't manage to find the time to redo them. I should remedy that tonight.

My life is nail fail. I forget they can be pretty.

Got ~$4000? You should make it back. All you have to do is agree to terms and plug your purchase into the interwebs.

A. Artist has created a work of art titled “A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter (2009)” (“the Artwork”) which consists of a black box that places itself for sale on the auction website “eBay” (the “Auction Venue”) every seven (7) days. The Artwork consists of the combination of the black box or cube, the electronics contained therein, and the concept that such a physical object “sells itself” every week.

B. Collector understands and agrees to the underlying concept and function of the Artwork and that the sale of the Artwork by Artist is dependent and conditioned upon Purchaser’s agreement and adherence to the below terms. Such terms are fundamental and crucial to the on-going viability and artistic integrity of the Artwork.

Man, now I really want a Droid. I just wish it played more nicely with the Mac, but it looks like Apple is giving up on iSync.

My mom got me an ereader for Christmas. Not really my thing. I think that I'll ask for a new iPhone instead.

Which brand, Vortex? Kindle, Nook, or something else?

Watching this morning's Federer/Hewitt match. Federer is mad sexy, yo.

and my nine is easy to load

I don't have any books about elephants

(now those two quotes are linked in my head)

Aha! I remembered to set my dishwasher to wash in 4 hours. Cleanliness will be mine! Tomorrow!

Hey, it's the cute Latino guy from Reaper on Castle.

Hmm. T Mobile has many more locations than Verizon. They get more points for that.

Locations are useful once. More towers, OTOH... I've never lost a signal. T-mobile, I couldn't get in my NY apartment.

He was fun!

Which brand, Vortex? Kindle, Nook, or something else?

Sony.

My friend Marcia just got a Droid and loves it madly. If you want particulars I can ask; I suspect she will be very happy to enthuse about it at length. Although she's still finding new features.

I think I've hit the mildly-panicked stage of prepping for my trip on Thursday. If I clean the kitchen tomorrow and assemble most of the stuff I'm packing, then Wednesday morning I can go in to ship my laptop & training crap, and in the afternoon I can go buy chinchilla supplies and tights and whatever else I need more of, and go by the bank. Where I need to remember to get a lot of small bills for tips. And then I can have dinner and spend the night obsessively packing. Whee.

Hmm I've seen 5 inch Sonys for $159. Given what else is out there, I wondered when the price for the lower functionality ones would come down. To tell the truth, I would take the Sony over the Nook. I just hated the sluggishness and general feel of the Nook I test drove at my local B&N so much. The Sony I played with at target, though far from perfect was at least acceptable. The controls were intuitive to me, and the response speed was OK. I might like a Kindle better if I ever got to see one.
