Cell Phone Musings

My old cell phone is really-o truelly-o gone, so I need to get a new one. Given that, as Ivar has said, I lead a nomadic life, I need to replace my cell phone ASAP. I can't decide to buy on online or wait until I can make it to a store. I'm going down to Tarnmists this weekend, so I don't know when I can get to a store. Not until next week, certainly, and that would mean taking (more) time off work. If I buy online I might get it sooner but I'd have to get a phone sight unseen, which makes me uncomfortable.

And I'm toying with the idea of getting a phone with some sort of music capability. I don't have an iPod, and CD's don't work in my car, so I really miss music in the car. OK, I can listen to the radio, but reception is always iffy.

Anyone out there have any thoughts or recommendations?

P.S. Until further notice, the best way to reach me is by email.

On Non-European Personas

I just posted this over on the SCA West list, in response to the current curfluffle regarding Japanese personas.

Car Fu

My car was in the shop for its regular check-up and oil change (205K+ miles), and it turns out I need new breaks. The message(the mechanic called my home number) said that it was going to be "expensive" (NFI). I will get the details when I call him tomorrow morning, but it doesn't look good.

No car means no barn. Blah.

Cap finished

I got home pretty late tonight and needed to de-stress. So I finished my middle class Tudor Tailor cap. Looks pretty cute, if I say so myself. :-)

Feels good to check another sewing project off the list.
