My daddy said, Son you're gonna drive me to drinkin'
I have a new cell phone! It is beautiful. It has a slidey case, and a camera and bluetooth and web browsing and texting and a calendar and all kinds of other things that I'll probably never use, and! a screen that's big enough for the Hopelessly Nearsighted to read, in pretty! colors!
*has gadget love*
It is, of course, a Tracfone, because Who in Ghod's Name can afford a monthly phone contract with T-Mobile? My last cell was also a Tracfone, and the one before that, stretching into the chilly mists of time. I transferred the number and minutes from the old phone to the new one, and Now I Wait, phone-free, for 72 hours. I did lose about 1,000 minutes in the process (use your cell phone, much?), because they'd been transferred from the previous phone to the now-newly-previous phone, and sorta fell off the end of the table. Still, I'm not gonna starve, and it was totally worth it to get the big screen in pretty! colors!
*sigh*
In other news, our film viewing of late has been Unremittingly High-Brow. We have in recent evenings viewed Wall-ee and also Race to Witch Mountain, both of which we, and Hexapuma, enjoyed profoundly. Yes, we are shallow -- all three of us.
Today it is sunny, but cold, and I really need to find my scarf.

Who has never quite forgiven Gene Kelly for making such a horrible static mess of the film of Hello, Dolly!

Love the movie choices. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs comes out on DVD in the early part of January. You will like it.

Thank you for recommending Tracfone back in February. I too have many too many minutes stacked up on it, but it is just the thing.

Did you have to reprogram your numbers or do they transfer for Tracfone? I recently switched phones/providers and had to re-enter all my numbers. And then did it again when I returned the phone for another model.

Re: cell service in Maine
It Depends.
Tracfone plays off of the other guys' lines, so if you're far from the grid -- like at camp on the lake -- you have spotty reception, if you have reception at all. To get cell phone connectivity at my house, I have to go outside and stand on the deck, and we're only about 8 miles from the interstate. T-Mobile can't do any better -- the infrastructure just isn't there -- but they'll happily charge me a zillion bucks a month on contract.
