Well, it looks like my N-Gage QD miraculously managed to survive - sorta. It worked, except for 2 problems. It can no longer read any game cartridges (the one decent feature of the entire damn phone) and it is now if anything even HARDER for anyone to hear me through it. I wouldn't recommend anyone calling me on it unless absolutely necessary. I obviously need a new phone but I can't really do anything until after next week's trip to NY and the week after that's trip to the Bay area for the Game Developer's Conference. I e-mailed Nokia about how I can get the saved games off that thing without using a card (I am DAMN close to finishing The Sims Bustin Out!) so I'll have to see how that goes. If not I have an old save file on my original N-Gage (I got this one free and was hoping it didn't have the problems the original one had with people not being able to hear me. It turned out to just be a crappily-designed phone:P) and I'll just have to do a lot of stuff over again. I do need at least one N-Gage because it looks like Civilization is out for it and that is definitely a MUST GET!

In other news I managed to do pretty well on my Beginning Pop/Rock guitar midterm tonight. I made a few mistakes but still got 45 out of 50 on the performance part, and I think I did really well on the music theory part.
