My old, bottom of the line cell phone was starting to show signs of impending death. A Kyocera K9, it did what I needed it to do: made calls, did text messaging. I am the Low End User.

But the time had come to switch. Luckily, Virgin Mobile makes this a very easy process. We looked at the Virgin display at Best Buy. [livejournal.com profile] kshandra liked a phone with a full, but tiny keypad. But considering the low volume of texts I send, and how many errors i make on a standard keyboard, I rejected that choice.

Instead, we got me a Super Slice. Along with it, Kirsten grabbed me a Jabra BT 125 Bluetooth earpiece..

So, for a few, brief shining moments, I'm geekier than she is.

Just need to download a few ring tones. Heh, I can get Queensrÿche's Revolution Calling. Having my phone announce "Revolution calling! Revolution calling! Revolution calling you" might be amusing.

And now I know which side you'll be on when the Cybermen come...

Y'know, the Daleks never fazed me, but from the start I found the Cybermen fantastically scary. Perhaps it was knowing that they were cyborgs, as opposed to mutant Kaled blobs.

But that was one of the first things I thought of when I saw myself with this blue light attached to my head.

And you haven't even seen the relevant NewWho episodes, where the controlling devices they use to march their new victims into the Borg cube transfer facility look astonishingly familiar....

It's okay, once my Chameleon Arch fobwatch shows up, I'm sure we can get rid of those nasty Cybermen...
