Since I know you're all (and it's presumptious of me to assume anyone's reading this in the first place) hanging on every word of the cell phone saga, here's the latest.

Sony is bad. I have a new phone, a Sony Ericsson T61d that was allegedly only three months old, and not being used for the last month at all, anyway. This replaces the Ericsson T60d that I lost, and as far as I can tell, it's the same phone with slightly shoddier construction. Given the additional brand name, I can only assume that's Sony's fault, and the T60d went away purely because it didn't have the new conglomerated brand name on it. I also got a data transfer cable, so I could just download my Outlook address book into the phone, but the synchronization software wasn't smart enough to exclude entries that had no phone number. So I think I'm bringing that back.

In other news, there is no other news. Motivation is in short supply, although I made a couple of job search-related calls today. I should be down at the practice space, now that we have one, honing my drumming skills in earnest for the first time in over a year, but I'm not. I still need to retrieve a rug from the Nitrous Foxide rehearsal space before I can set up the drums, and that's one of those pain-in-my-ass jobs that I'm so good at putting off.
