Angelica’s Corner: Cell phone daemons

For all the Golden Compass fans- In Japan, PEOPLE HAVE DAEMONS! They carry them on their cell phones. They are attached by a thin cord and sometimes make jingly noises. EVERYONE has one, young, old, laborer or man in business suit with briefcase. His may even be a mini version of Sylvestor Stalone from Rambo, or just Hello Kitty. The daemons peak out of people’s pockets and bags, ready for action or companionship when needed. The pressure to have a daemon myself was immense. I thought all my friends should have one for their cell phones too but I resisted. Daemons belong in Japan only.
