Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My ringtone is currently the british ringtone.

How long will there be a "British ringtone"? Not just the preponderance of cellphones, but I'm guessing standard ringtones are in jeopardy because all the phones I've bought recently rang how they damned well pleased. You're going to have to say "classic British ringtone" soon enough.

Ugh. Migraine. Hunger has miraculously dissipated, now that food is heated up.

Our wings are not tired.

Daisy, hope you feel better very soon!

Given that most rapes are by men known to the women assaulted, the best rape avoidance tip is "Don't inhabit a planet with men." Which would be inconvenient for all genders, and I'd miss quite a few people.

This is what pisses me off so much about the DADT and the people (men) who are against gays in the military. Soldier interviewed yesterday (I paraphrase): "I don't want someone oggling me in the shower, or hitting on me...I'd be nervous sharing close quarters with a gay."

Um, hello, welcome to being a w-o-m-a-n. And sorry, asshole, but males raping fellow women soldiers is a MUCH bigger (and real) problem than you getting your tush leered at in a shower.

And I'd add that I bet there's a pretty strong correlation between the anti-gays-in-the-military group and male-soldiers-who-are-assholes-to-female-soldiers group.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

What is your ringtone?

Tubular Bells

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My ringtone is "Hold On, I'm Coming" by Sam and Dave. I realize it would work better as a ringback thingy.

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

Tubular Bells

Heh - love it.

Mine is the "classic telephone" sound. Which apparently every other iPhone user also likes, because when I hear it in the office I see about fifteen people reach for their phones.

Because books.

What is your ringtone?

Mine is the new Panic! song, but now I really, really want it to be "Tubular Bells". Damn.

the default ringtones for the iPhone are, by and large, crap. what I don't understand is why they won't let you do custom text message notifications. I had to change my text message notification sound from the "bloo-oop" sound to the ding, but still pretty common.

Aw man, I have to miss the finger pointing meeting. And I was in the mood for some good schadenfreude.

I have the stupid default t-mobile ring because I can't figure out how to change it. When I had a different phone where it was easier, I used Weird Al's White and Nerdy. Until it rang on the bus, where I was one of the only white people, so I was embarrassed and changed it.

Cool. I just used hotwire for a car rental for the first time and I got Hertz (which is nice because I've never seen extra fees like the ones at DFW).
