1. With Regard To LJ-Balderdash. I have decided that the first player to reach 30 points will win an unspecified prize. Will it be cheap plastic crap harvested from my house? Comic books? Porn? Bad art? A pie? A much-coveted merit badge? Stay tuned.
2. I've been deeply irritated with my cellular phone lately (mostly because I bent the hell out of the antenna the other week and now it's all crackly, but also because it's slowly losing its ability to do neat things like hold charge or respond when I push the power button). So I tried to go through my current provider, who offers this sort of 'trade in your phone for credit on a new phone' plan. Somehow, this was not workable via the web or the telephone, but required going into the store (even though the website says you can do it via the web, and when that failed, it directed me to a phone number and assured me I could do the thing that way). So I jettisoned my current provider in a fit of pique, and signed onto a new provider, taking advantage of their free phone with signup deal. The important part of this is that there may be a few days this week during which I can't be reached on my mobile phone due to the switchover. My number, however, should be the same.
