I'll only fly away

I'm getting a cell phone. This may come as a shock to those who know me as something of a Luddite. What's shocking to me is that I'm getting a cell phone tomorrow. My father is infamous for snap decisions (he surprised my mother with a new lawnmower once), and he decided Thursday that we would all have cell phones. The research is done, the plan is purchased, and the phones will arrive inna mail tomorrow or the day after. Damn.
In other news, I'm headed to Ithaca to look for housing in a week. Fun fun. It will be nice to get a look at the campus, but I could do without the plane. I don't like to fly. Of course, driving there will be even worse . . .
