Happy Friday my dearest darlings!
Wee! First of all...Happiest of Happy Birthdays to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ngaio and zoniduck! I hope you both have a super fantastic day, with everything that you oh-so-deserving hearts desire! *throws a party and hands out cake and beverages*
Second of all - Hee!mpoetess has earned a place in the swmbo-heart FOREVER (not that she didn't already have one!) by donating money in the pure and glorious name of Snygel in the Saving Angel Shipper wars! The Food Drive's choice of topics for yesterday was so inspired *dances* And, heee! I am saddened that the organizers don't appreciate the beauty that is Snygel, as can be seen from this quote: We'd like to tip our hats to the inventive among you who came up with a few interesting couple combos; such as Lorne/Angel, and the most disturbing pairing of all time Snyder/Angel. Disturbing?! Darn their inability to see true love! Well, the shipper war is going to be rematched on March 29th and I'll actually be able to donate then myself. Snygel will become known and loved, forever! *peers at Ashy* Although I'm so torn because while Snygel is good and true and canon - who can resist the siren's song that is Xolaf? Or Splory? Oh, to love so many ships and so well...
*blissful sigh*
And wee! I start my new job Monday and today I ... well I slack at home in the morning and then I *shudder* go to renew my car tags in the afternoon and buy creamer (I had only enough for ONE cup of coffee today! Horrors! Fortunately I also like my coffee black. It's coffee...there is no bad!) and ...oh yeah, go to the bank. *nearly forgot*
Hmm...ok, here's the thing. Some of you may or may not remember a series of cell phone disasters that I had. Where I um, broke the phone partially by spinning in my chair while it was plugged into the cell phone recharger. And then a couple months later (2-3 weeks ago), completed the job by nearly setting the whole thing on fire with the replacement recharger. Now for those who may not realize, swmbo is a tech-junkie, she can't help it. This phone was the Treo Handspring 180 - preordered and received when they first became available - one of the first PDA/cell phones on the market and definitely one of the first good ones. (And swmbo was screwed because the first ones were b/w only - and they'd priced the color versions as significantly higher and not coming out for any known time. Then a few weeks after she bought the b/w version, they announced the color version would be coming out in like 2 months AND dropped the price to just 100 bucks more than the b/w. Grr.)
So anyway - there are a lot more cellphone PDAs out there. Both Palm OS (like the Treo) and PocketPC (I've had first an Aero and then an IPAQ for years, but it's also currently, well, in bad shape. It won't hold a charge. I'm cursed that all things break at the same time.)
Does anybody out there have any experience with any of the other models? Or service plans available, cause I'm with T-Mobile now, but Sprint (curses on their name, both of them) is also available. Feedback on networks and/or phones would be SO lovely. Particularly - and this is the key - the web browser and email functions. Shuddup, I'm a geek. Hee!
*loves you all* *HUGS*

Very true.
Sooo...god, I am so bad. SO BAD.
You are. Very bad indeed. And I can do nothing but encourage you in the badness. Get as many gadgets as you possibly can, because they break, and you must always have a fallback position.
no subject
I love you. I love you and your willingness to support my techno geekery.
Plus I'm actually thinking that this might manage to stave off the other problem I have, of needing a laptop. *sighs*
*panics a little* *cuddles you*
no subject
Sweetie, don't panic. It will all turn out for the best
when you buy all three*hugs you tightly*
no subject
I know it. I am weak.
But the laptop - I should definitely hold out on even thinking about that til I figure out 1) my car situation and 2) my Canada situation
Cause how much would people kill me if I say 'sorry, I bought a laptop INSTEAD of going to Canada" ?

Ok, I'm off now - and only 45 minutes later than planned! Wee! Love you to pieces my darlingest of all Arries - will you be on AIM tonight?
*cuddles you*
but if not...Neither of us are out of town this weekend! We should totally do really, REALLY fun stuff and make twat completely jealous.
And hee, yeah, laptop waits. Cause seriously, I WANT to do Canada - how is that looking on your front, anyway?
no subject
That's actually pretty impressive. Yay you. Don't get lost, 'kay?
will you be on AIM tonight?
Should be. Only another hour of work to go, then I am free as a bird. Only not as scary. I hope.

Absolutely we should. Although I'd like to mention how grateful I am that the two of you didn't do that to me!
I WANT to do Canada - how is that looking on your front, anyway?
Not sure. It's like, I do have the means to pay for it. But I really shouldn't. I'm going to do some serious pricing up this weekend and see what it looks like.
