I need Recommendations!

1) A (free) (for Macs) program to convert .mp4 to .mp3 or .m4a. I KNOW ONE HAS TO EXIST SOMEWHERE. Somewhere! And I need it. :(

2) A good cell phone. My ancient Nokia with the crack down the middle of the screen has been dying for a while, plus I am in need of one that actually has texting abilities (see above re: :( ). What phones/plans have you guys found to be cheap yet glorious? Or at least, you know, doable. Alternately, if there are companies that you've had such bad experiences with that the thought of them getting even just one more customer makes you froth at the mouth, let me know.

3) Non-subscription allergy medicine. Alavert has been so useless I just have to laugh--except that I'd get snot everywhere, so no. Benadryl is also a no, as the last time I tried it it gave me horrible headaches and nausea. Fun times in my body.

Alternately, you could just give me Frank/Bob porn in my comments. That would work, too.

seanarenay has a really awesome, *really* comprehensive picspam in two parts of all the ladies in bandom over here. I didn't even realize how many cool women there were in this fandom, which in retrospect makes me feel really dumb. Also, she has some smart things to say about people giving these ladies a hard time. Which, I've noticed the shit people like to talk about many of the girls, and have yet to collect my thoughts into a post of my own on the matter. (Although it can probably be summed up as: every time someone hates on Ashlee Simpson, I'm more and more tempted to write sweet loving hot happy Pete/Patrick/Ashlee in which they both adore her madly.)

Lately I've been remembering that, oh, I actually own a camera, and oh, I actually really like photography. I'm pretty rusty at it and mostly I end up taking lots of "artsy" pictures of, like, concrete and litter and shit to illustrate the pointlessness of human existence, but sometimes I end up with results that I can stand to look at. ( Now that I've gotten the self-conscious awkward disclaimer out of the way, photo-spam. )
