Yesterday, on NPR, there was a guy talking about the chicken that he used to keep on top of his refrigerator (a live chicken) and how he used to feed it corn nibblets. Even though he was only making $50 a week, he was spending $10 on corn nibblets for the chicken. He also said that he used to eat chicken in front of the chicken, and that the chicken saw him naked. He said he'd always figured he would just eat the chicken one day, but I don't recall what he said about what happened to the chicken, because it wasn't that. Did anybody else hear this programme? How did he get the chicken in the first place?

I have been super busy with RL recently, so, if I missed something important please let me know.

For example, Shia looking so fucking hot that I need new knickers? That's important. If someone (*cough

slodwickand

sameoldhopecough*) felt compelled to make me some Shia icons (especially the ones at the bottom from his day off) I might feel compelled to drabble (*coughMSTSMFcough*) them some stuff at their request.

Also, does anybody have the Samsung SCH-u740? How's it working out for you? I'm in the market for a new phone (noCrackberries!

antheia) and I want one with a keypad.

Also, I am in the market for a Mad Men beta, can anybody offer their services in that fandom?

If a Chuck vid doesn't win this time around, I'm sure I'll do one in Jan or Feb (Valentine's Day!) anyway.

Also, I have a sidekick, which I love. It's said to have the best keyboard of any pda-style phones. In the last month I've triedf a Blackberry curve and the tmobile wing and sprint mogul and I haven't liked the OS or keyboard on any of them at *all*.

I see this will require real research.

I've been using handheld-pda-phone things since the winter of 2001, and imho, the most important factor is how the device feels in your hands. If it isn't supercomfortable to you, you won't love it, and you need to love it for it to work for you.

How much are you shelling out for plans and the like? Presumably you have to buy like a minutes plan and a data plan or a Lost in Translation plan or whatever, so how much per month is your Sidekick costing you?

Sorry about the multiple edits! They seem to have a special promo thing now with the new LX - 1500 anytime minutes (http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/detail.aspx?tp=tb1&id=dfe6c2b1-70e2-485f-9db6-ad229476dd6d) for just under $40 and then you add on unlimited sidekick usage for $20. I have an older plan which has no phone minutes, and unlimited sidekick usage, for $35, but that's not available at the moment. The promo one is cheaper than pretty much any Blackberry plan I've seen recently.

Or you can get it with no phone minutes and unlimited Sidekick usage for just under $30. I think I need to call and get my own plan tweaked...

To get this you just call T-Mobile Business Direct at 866-464-8662, optoin #3. Tell them you want the Sidekick Slide associated with promotional code "PDA Advantage". In order to qualify you must be starting a new line (whether family or individual). You can add a line to a family plan for just $9.99.

The T-Mobile Sidekick Slide will be $49.99 - $50.00 mail-in rebate = FREE after rebate.

Also: free activation, free shipping. 1 year contract. The regular price is $199.99 after rebate. This is a great deal!

Holy cow. What's the catch? There has to be a catch though, right?

They had problems with the slide about a month ago where the battery wasn't connecting, so this might be how they're trying to drum up good PR for the Improved one?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Yis. Excellent point.
