Playing with the new toy
It would be nice if just once I could upgrade some technology voluntarily and not because the last one broke/got fried by an open water bottle/was lost/got stolen/spontaneously stopped working, but eh, beggars can't be choosers and the very fact that I can replace it demonstrates that I'm not that bad off when it comes down to it.
It's not a smart phone, though they had me look at one that was slightly more that was a smartphone. I considered it until I heard I'd need to buy a data plan, which was the dealbreaker. I'm too cheap. D was (playfully) making fun of me because I was marveling at the bells and whistles on the new one (touch screen! voice commands!), which really are not that special anymore, but since I've been several years behind the technology they're new to me.
And I gave Ammy (the phone) a new wallpaper to reflect her name:
The black bar on the bottom is so the picture isn't covered by the menu bar. I also discovered that the phone can function as an MP3, and unlike the last one it uses a regular audio jack, while the last one needed an adapter that you had to buy. So my new phone makes both my MP3 and my camera (mostly) obsolete. Don't you just love technology? :P
I'm also re-adding my contacts, since they got wiped out with the last phone. I think some may be lost to the ether, but the ones I do lose permanently are from people I'm not in touch with anymore anyway. I did put a post on Facebook asking for numbers, and I've already got a few through that.

In that case, I want your camera! (Sort of serious.) Mine is six years old and failing. I was just looking at cameras today, and if I can at least borrow yours for a while after you come home two weekends from now, that would be nice, because I can't afford even a cheap one at the moment.
