No seriously, I meant it with the whole "It's too hot!" thing:In Fresno County, where the temperature topped 105 Monday for the ninth day in a row, the coroner said at least 10 people had died of heat-related causes since Friday. County Coroner Loralee Cervantes said several of the dead were elderly people who were found in sweltering homes.

I like how your LJ is becoming more like a blog.

*raises eyebrow*
Are you being sarcastic?
I can never tell with you Brits...
:p

boyzici July 26 2006, 08:18:35 UTC

Nope, not at all.

I like clicky things.

hahaha
with the crappy font i chose for my page, that looks like 'I like dicky things' ...not too far off, then! :p

I often wonder if I overly-link in my entries... Thus far though, you and scott seem to like the overlinkage, and thus it continues!

No Moto Razr's. Razr = bad.

phillipthorpe July 25 2006, 22:50:53 UTC

Well the CURRENT ones are... I mean they're like 2 years old now without ANY changes!

The new ones will be l33t, surely... right?

I'll bet in fifty years, kids will see the version of monopoly with the paper money and say, "What the fuck are those little multi-colored slips?"

phillipthorpe July 25 2006, 22:51:43 UTC

Indeed!

Especially since we'll all have Visa-implanted radio chips by then, and will pay for everything automagically just be walking through the checkout line. As though we were another item for sale, almost. :p

libran24 July 25 2006, 22:54:41 UTC

...we don't have to wait at all for that. :)

phillipthorpe July 26 2006, 09:41:57 UTC

Oy!
Don't go interjecting Truth into this journal, you! :)

The Ming is a GSM phone... just import an unlocked one and stick your sim card in it. :P

phillipthorpe July 26 2006, 06:43:38 UTC

I might, if importing it wouldn't cost about $600! :p That, and the phone is optimized for China, and I'm not at all certain what that means for language support... and the touch screen is something I really want to try out before buying... Fancy a trip to Hong Kong with me? :)

typicalaimster July 26 2006, 16:03:36 UTC

Just get Simon to import it ;)
