This is a happy post.

Oh look! It's Ellie's phone!

(Context: my sister works for a company whose main thing is superbatteries of the future, or something. Charge faster, last longer, don't explode - that kind of thing. And she's in the market for a new phone since hers (which used to be mine, and is about 4 years old) no longer has any battery life to speak of. And it's a phone shaped much like the one in the photo.)

And now that I've killed the joke with explanation...


Mail! I received a card from harborshore on Thursday, a card and a wrapped gift-shaped object* from thelemic on Friday, cards from solarcat and insunshine on Saturday, and cards from turlough and chaosmanor yesterday. :D

* Which I haven't opened yet, because I'm not sure if I should wait. thelemic?


( My weekend: naked people and nearly-naked people. )

Oops.

So I put a plastic thing on the top rack of the dishwasher, and it fell through the rack and landed on the heating element.

Ellie's mad skillz, a leatherman (the tool), and some sandpaper later, the plastic is gone.

Also, my laptop case is cracked, right at the edge of my optical drive. :(
