Keeper

One of the many reasons why G is a keeper...

Phone Wanderer

G always wanders off in random directions when he starts talking on the phone so I literally have to hold on to him so I don't lose him.

Last day at the book fair in Leipzig. Yay!

Important phone calls

The only people who call my phone are my parents and G. My parents are in Japan and I now live with G, so . . . yeah.

so cheap and so good

I agree! It's the best, cheapest Nokia ever!

Cavewoman

All Japanese cell phones, no matter how shitty they are, come with their own email addresses, and a lot of Japanese people use their cell phone email as their main email address. (SMS is virtually useless in Japan.) It was super-convenient but I mostly ended up hating it because my work would email me 24/7 and expect me to write back instantaneously because I couldn't use the old "I was away from my computer all day" excuse. And no one (no one!) leaves their cell phone at home. I hated being superconnected all the time and I'm so happy to be in a country where it's pretty normal to have a shitty pay-as-you-go Nokia that can text and call for 9 cents a minute.

Handy Hijab

Whoop, just made it in time to still call it a post for Wednesday.
