The comma looks fine to me, actually. Not super formal but totally acceptable.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That "usually" is fucking everything up, which is why no punctuation is good.
I agree. The colon is valid but a total rewrite would be better. Words, so complicated.
I have a chunk missing from my finger because my favorite corkscrew snapped tonight. I loved it so much that I don't have a backup waiter style anywhere. It was my One True Corkscrew. And terribly branded so I don't really know if I can replace it. No corkscrew and a bandaid over a little chunk of missing finger. My pinot grigio is not worth this.

YUCK. I was reading with the TV turned off tonight, and thus heard the slight rustling noise a mouse was making trying to climb my shower curtain out of the bathtub. Managed to trap it with a cardboard box and remove it from the premises. And bathtub is now as clean as scrubbing with bleach can make it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Eww Matt, unfun.
And yipes Cass! Significantly more unfun! Now the wine has to serve a medicinal function on top of its spiritual one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aw, cute widdle mousey!
So--who's getting a Windows phone? How much do you feel advertising spots on TV affect your purchases of phones? And then for people who spend less time on the internet?
I'm curious about what stands out in those ads to differentiate them from iPhones (I sincerely cannot remember Android ads). I mean, how does one look like it will fix stuff better than the other? Gwen Stefani vs. Zooey Deschanel? Is that what it comes down to?

A friend of mine has a windows phone and swears by it--and he is in a house full of iPhones and iPads.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But swears by it for what? What is the differentiator in such a saturated market? I'd imagine most people would be happy with a Windows phone. But who'd be unhappy without one?
Man, I have come bang up against some doozies of security questions recently. Things I'm all "I committed to a favourite?" about. Yoinks.
