A quick exchange with the people at Virgin Mobile confirmed that my phone was pretty much unsalvagable at this point (why, oh why don't they care about fixing cell phones when throwing them away causes so much environmental damage), so over the weekend I went out and bought a replacement. For the same price I paid for my last phone, this time I was able to get a camera phone with other luxuries like true-voice ringtones. I already bought Tori Amos' "A Sorta Fairytale" for my main ringtone; I would have got Sarah McLachlan's "Fallen" but I kind of figured that's probably what Penny has on her cell phone ...
Anyway, according to the phone itself I've transfered everything over okay, but of course the only way I'll know for sure is if I actually try sending and receiving calls, so for people who have my phone number, don't be surprised if I call you tomorrow just to test things out. (I promise, any picture-mails I send you will be completely G-rated ...)
I should have been asleep a couple of hours ago, but in spite of my sleep schedule returning to normal, for some reason I got super-tired early in the evening on Sunday and wound up grabbing a nap I really couldn't afford. I just finished grading my students' last in-class writings, and I have to be up in about six hours here for a fairly full day of classes. It probably doesn't help that my plans to go back on my diet today were routed thanks to a number of circumstances, including my continued psychological problems that I'd go into greater detail about if I didn't have to get to bed right now. Instead, I will wish you all a good night, and I'll be back to discuss those things later.
