phone woes/not-woes

Not Shiny: i dropped my cellphone in some water last night. it turned off, of course, and wouldn't turn back on. this was bad...of course...i had never heard of a cellphone recovering from being fully immersed in water, and was resigned to going to the cell phone store after CJA, to buy a new phone lest i'd be incommunicado for the weekend.

Shiny: hilary's hairdryer, and a night to air dry. my phone is working this morning! HOORAY!!!! i don't have to buy a new one!

somehow, it seems to have worked out.

enjoy it...or blast me for it. either way. :)
