12:17p Cell phone cases
I bought myself a new cell phone for Christmas, only to discover that it doesn't fit very well into the case that I carried my old cell phone in. I went to the Virgin Mobile kiosk in Tillicum Mall because it is a Virgin phone, but they had only a hard plastic shell that doesn't cover the screen and that also doesn't seem to stay on the phone very well. Ideally I'd prefer a case that covers the screen so that it doesn't get scratched when it's in my purse.
Zellers and London Drugs seem to have only camera cases that are a bit too big and bulky for my needs. Source/Circuit City didn't seem to have any even though that was where I got my last case (unless it was still Radio Shack then.) Any other suggestions of places to look?

11:51a xmas cards
..so i was a moron and left this to the very last moment possible since we aren't exchanging gifts again this year so i wasn't really thinking about christmas...but i need four christmas cards! i went to shoppers and got one for my mom/step-dad but all the other cards were for daughters/sons/really really young kids/gift cards.
has anyone hit the hallmark in hillside in the last day or two? is there a selection left or is it pretty much bare?
any recommendations on where a gal can go and get some non-religious christmas cards?
...next year i'm going to make a mental note to go earlier.
Thanks!!

8:54a weirdest rental application i have ever seen
So I've been renting on my own/with friends since I was 18 and I've filled out a lot of applications since then..but this is the weirdest one I have ever been asked to fill out.
Not only is he asking for a deposit for the application(which if he accepts will be put to the rent or returned if he rejects us but if we back out..he keeps as a "service charge"...), he's asking for the name/address of my bank, credit reference(no idea what they would be anyways..), my SIN #, my driver's license...
Is any of this normal? I've filled out applications with property management company's and just regular joe's renting their lower suite..but never been asked to give them any of the above. In regards to driving, they only ask about my make/model not my driver's license number..

5:10p Non-TiVo DVR/PVR
Has anyone seen a non-TiVo hard-drive digital video recorder in town? Before TiVo was available in Canada I bought an LG brand digital video recorder at Future Shop, but the DVD recorder part of it (it has both a hard drive and a DVD drive) failed, and I thought maybe I'd get myself a new one for Christmas. However, looking at the websites for Future Shop and Best Buy, it appears that they have only TiVo and some cable-company-specific DVRs alongside the DVD recorders.

11:47p Fic
I can't find a fic and its driving me crazy. There was a plague or something and people went underground but some kids including Taichi and Daisuke got left on the surface. Ken was a computer worker who ended up going to the surface. He and Daisuke meet but Ken wants to go back. Ken wears a protective suit.
