I just posted a random sketch from my notebooks – there are so many random sketches like this, and so many of them aren’t worth scanning, but this one isn’t bad, so i posted it.
I’ve been working on what was going to be mondays comic since early this morning, but it’s been slow going, mostly because i keep changing the script and i’ve already started over twice. Well, you can’t escape the fact that traveling messes up my comic production schedule, and this is just one of those times… i just don’t want to rush this one, i guess.

Yknow, when you consider how much people supposedly love their cell phones, and the fact that just about everyone has one and they are very much a part of our everyday lives, you’d think that buying one wouldn’t be a such a pain in the ass. It took two hours to get our new phones, and 50 minutes of that was spent waiting around for a salesperson in the Verizon store to help us. We waited because we had the same wait at the Sprint store, and eventually just walked out. So much for being a loyal Sprint customer for 5 years.
And the dumb thing is that part of why we went with Verizon is because people kept telling me how great their customer service is. Huh. Maybe its just the way things are with the cell phone biz.
We got a pair of LG VX7000 phones, which aren’t too bad, i guess. They do pretty much what i wanted them to do (based on what cell phones in the states can do that is) and didn’t cost $500 a piece. Too bad they are kinda… uuuuugly. Oh well, they are just phones, i guess. They aren’t pretentious, at least. I’ve already customized walpapers and stuff, so at least that wasn’t too hard to do. Pretty sad – all that technology, and the thing that makes me happy is being able to put Tomoyo-chan on my phone.
Honestly, i’m just glad to have the cell phone thing done. I like buying techy things, doing the research, etc,(for example, i enjoyed doing the research on headphones, and i appreciate all the input i got from everyone here – i like my Grados. A little more bass would be nice, but they are pretty nice otherwise 
but researching cell phones was just… frustrating. The limitations aren’t based on whether you can afford the things, it’s all based on what crap they make available to you. It makes it harder for people who like to be a little more unique when all they have to choose from is that weighted average of what it is felt the masses wants.
Nothing is more frustrating than having to choose from that kind of limited selection.
