Captain Tal: my new Nokia 6233


Happy Labor Day everyone. It is so good to be able to take a break in the middle of the week — with pay! Haha. I wonder how it would feel when I finally have my leave. Yesterday was such a relaxing day at the office, that I spent most of my time working on a test script and watching CSI Vegas from Luis‘ recommendation. I will post about that next time when I have watched enough episodes. I’m only up to Episode 5. :P

Anyway, on to the curious title. After work yesterday, I met up with my mom and my brother to get one of my most awaited items for the year:

The (Ph)One that Almost Got Away :P

The (Ph)One that Almost Got Away

Yep, the phone is finally here, in my hands and it looks exactly like that picture. I wanted to have a black one but they only have the gray, so it would do. Although my phone seems to be darker than that…hmmm.

Anyway, I’d take pictures of the actual phone but my brother took the digicam with him on his Enchanted Kingdom trip with his girlfriend…so, no pics for now. =)

The little gadget’s name is Tal, or the whole name, Captain Tal. Who is Captain Tal? He is the leader of the group of angels in Frank Peretti’s This Present Darkness. As mentioned, Tal is the leader of the band of angels protecting the fictional town of Ashton in This Present Darkness and one of the angels in charge of protecting Sally Roe’s life in Piercing the Darkness, the sequel. He is a great warrior, an obedient soldier and would does everything he can for the “saints of God and for the Lamb.” He’s my favorite among the characters in these two novels (which are also my favorites), and while I was thinking of a name for this gadget, this was the name that stuck.

So hello, Captain Tal. :P

Now, can anyone please direct me to any free ringtone downloads for this phone? I waaaaant. Also, should I put it in a crystal case or is a leather case enough? I’m prone to scratching my phones and I think I’m acidic, so my keypads tend to fade/chip when I use my phone…any help with that?

And does anyone have a DVD of CSI Season 1? It’s hard to watch online. :P

Finally, you have your phone! I’m so psyched for you. Get a crystal case. No advice on the fading and chipping keypad. Umm, text less(?)

I hope the phone is everything you have been hoping it would be. Haha! Captain Tal. (=-

You’ll dig CSI: Vegas. If you liked NY, you’ll like Vegas too. NY is supposedly the worst of the lot. I don’t know though, I like GARY sinese. My idea is to have a rash of murders go down during a CSI conference somewhere in the world. That way all the casts can come together. Maybe a CSI movie!

Well I’m glad you and Captain Tal are finally together. Thanks for sharing as always. I love making my trips to refineme.org.

Love ya bunches little sister.

Peace be with you always. And may GOD continue to bless you.

FAITH&CONFIDENCE (=-
