The Slow Gin Fizz

…and you’re welcome

thoughts that contributed to my smartphone’s suicide attempt when it decided it couldn’t take it anymore and jumped into my glass of wine March 8, 2010

  1. if I tell her how Lost ends, maybe she’ll stop watching episode after episode. THE ISLAND TRAVELS THROUGH TIME IDIOT.
  2. why does this bitch keep checking me, you KNOW no one called. depressing!
  3. YES THE RINGER IS ON AND IT IS WORKING
  4. for a former english major, she really sucks at boggle
  5. oh no, not the youtube app, it can only mean one thing. taylor swift’s ‘you belong with me’. again. with the tearful sing-a-long. !@#$
  6. oh and now you want to text him. THAT’S a good idea. I can’t freeze the screen every time you make a bad decision you know.
  7. what exactly do you intend to use your photoshop app for? Ha, you can’t figure it out.
  8. and really, you know the neato looking compass will just confuse you
  9. you saw daylight savings marked on your calendar and got excited thinking you had something to do. Sucka. ::hangs camera lens in shame::
  10. I KNOW you didn’t just shazam a depressing Pink song.
  11. ‘sad bastard’ is not a genre on Pandora that either of us need to listen to
  12. I understand you have a checkers ‘strategy’, but you keep losing to an unchanged algorithm who doesn’t care about your intense need to feel some sense of success in life
  13. you should be googling psychotherapists instead of fish tacos
  14. I can assure you that no one is interested whatever you are considering liveblogging
  15. dude, when writing an email, the Send button is on the left and the Discard button is on the right. IT’S NOT THAT HARD AND THEY ARE CLEARLY MARKED AHHHHHHHH. That’s it. goodbye cruel world. Tell apple I’m sorry for that whole patent thing. I have suffered everyday since.

on monday morning, my cell phone broke. on thursday afternoon, i finally got around to replacing it. a few observations:

1 – good lord, why did you all let me leave my voicemail greeting like that for so long? i sound like i’m 12.
2 – with email, AIM, gchat, facebook, and twitter, i am constantly in touch with everyone i need to be and really didn’t miss having a phone at all.
3 – i use my blackberry for more things than my cell phone, but i still really don’t want to combine the two.
4 – i got 3 voicemails: one from my dad telling me about easter, one from eric making fun of me (thanks lori), and one from someone who i’ve been playing phone tag with for 6 months who never answers his phone when i call back. i think that means i win at not talking to people.
5 – i got 3 texts: 2 from my coworker running late on monday morning (she then emailed me), and 1 from digs probably making fun of my facebook status about not having a working phone. again, i win.
6 – i still remember the five phone numbers i needed to know before i got a cell phone. but not my mother’s cell phone number, because she got hers after me, of course. ask me if you’re on that list and maybe i’ll tell you.
7 – i hate every non-smartphone on the market right now. i think companies aren’t even trying to make them good anymore.
8 – verizon’s backup assistant is the best thing ever.
9 – verizon’s store on 42nd and 6th is the worst thing ever.
10 – i hate losing all my hysterical saved text messages every time i get a new phone.
11 – it’s fun to call people from 310 numbers when they don’t expect it.
