You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

not your mom's socks.

I am so going to point the finger at my awful Staples chair for the screwup this morning. It deserves it. (not to mention the humans that I elected to trust, rather than scripting around them. darn you, humans.)

yay for music recovery!

Kristin - where's your dad usually? There are some cell phone coverage maps to look at... ::waddles off to find them::

The status is NOT quo.

Sox, he lives in CT, but he spends the winter in FL.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think his options at Best Buy are limited to Verizon and Sprint - I don't think they sell unlocked phones.

As far as not wanting something fancy goes, his best bet would probably be to sign up with a contract and get one of the free phones, which tend to be pretty no-frills (though most of them will still have cameras). Which still leaves him with a gift certificate to spend...would he have any use for a Bluetooth headset?

Virgin uses the Sprint networks, so if he's having trouble with it it's not likely to change.

Why yes, it does. Assuming I can find the blank CDs, I'll burn you a copy tonight.

Also, someone wanted a copy of the Christian Kane song from the bad VH1 movie. Who was that?

Senuti is turning out to be great...and makes me share your recovered music glee Vortex. I was able to get some great latin/celtic jams off a friend's ipod too. yay for not having lost everything in the great doorstop incident of early 08.

Hmm, okay, thanks. I would like him to go to AT&T since then we'd be on the same plan and could talk free, but I didn't realize that Best Buy didn't have those plans. I will have to ponder.

As far as not wanting something fancy goes, his best bet would probably be to sign up with a contract and get one of the free phones, which tend to be pretty no-frills (though most of them will still have cameras).
Yeah, I was thinking this, too.
Which still leaves him with a gift certificate to spend...would he have any use for a Bluetooth headset?
He would, but whether he would actually use it is another question entirely.
