I've been looking at prepaid phones/plans online today. So far I'm somewhat torn between the LG Neon from AT&T

and the LG Rumor2 from Virgin Mobile.

They are both going for $99 at the moment.

The plan I would choose if I went with AT&T is their "$.25 Simple Plan" which charges 25¢/minute for talk, plus $19.99/mo. unlimited texting package and either $4.99/mo 1MB or $19.99/mo. 100MB data package, for a total of $25-40+ a month.
The plan I would choose if I went with Virgin Mobile is their "Texter's Delight" plan that includes 10¢/minute talk, a $19.99/mo unlimited texting package, and $5/mo for 20MB or $10/mo for 50MB data package, for a total of $25-30+ a month.

The question seems to be more about which phone I'd prefer. The money I'd be paying for services per month are so close, except in the data package prices. I have no idea how many MB I'd be using on either phone, so I don't know which would be more appropriate for me. I think it's ridiculous, though, that AT&T's data packages only come in two sizes: maybe not enough (1MB) to perhaps too much (100MB). I don't like that there's no in-between option. :/

Does anyone have any experience with either of these phones or prepaid services?

I'm thinking about perhaps visiting an AT&T store, or seeing if they have any LG Neons on display at Walmart or someplace. Maybe at Walmart or Target there'll be a LG Rumor2 on display, too. That'd be nice, so I could get a handle on 'em to see if I like the feel of one over the other.

  Yesterday I saw Alice In Wonderland in IMAX 3D with my little brother and sister. (We made sure we saw it during the week when admission is only $5 at AMC, so the added charge for IMAX wouldn't be such a financial blow.)
  The effects were AMAZING, as expected. I also liked that Burton didn't go over all the same stuff other known Alice In Wonderland films had. (Then again the only ones I know of are the Disney animated version and the tv miniseries with Deb from Napoleon Dynamite as Alice.) I haven't read the book(s) so I have no idea if Burton just took a new angle on it, or made something up, but it seemed to work for this film.


  Next week is spring break for me. I have two essays due Saturday, some homework I need to at least look at by tomorrow afternoon, must finish reading Great Expectations by Friday and try to do some research for a project due in a couple weeks.
  Why is it that in the last few days before holiday are the hardest to do anything? I have so much to do! X/
  (And so, of course, I come here and blog about all the things I should be doing instead....)

  It's amazing how much you find yourself doing when you have other things you should be doing instead.

  For example, I have been doing some web searching for a defunct band called Plus One. Specifically, I was looking for any sellers of their first video they put out called "The Home Video" (seeing as I already have the DVD promoting their sophomore album.)


  During my search, I found a facebook group for über Plus One fans, a youtube clip from when they appeared in the TV show "Touched By An Angel" and a blog entry stating a previous band member's current job location.


  I love the internet.

  I've been wanting to create/put up this layout for forever. Well, since my last post about Doctor Who, anyways. So I decided to buck up and do it. And I did, in under an hour. I love simple design. :D
  When I googled "Doctor Who" I found this awesome season 5 "teaser" image and have had this layout in mind ever since. And here it finally is! The US premier of DWS5 is set to be April 17 on BBC America. I will probably put a countdown clock on here somewhere. Maybe.

  You may have noticed that this layout uses modules. I am so used to not having modules, I totally forgot I had any. So I've cleaned 'em up some and gotten rid of outdated data. That's better.


  My computer life mostly sucks because I'm usually busy with school or work, or whatever. Which is a good thing for real life. Not for cyber-life.

  On that note, I may or may not be around much in the near and distant future! Only time will tell.
