Tap, tap, tap…wait, wait, wait. It’s on, no off, on? What do you mean there’s no connection! But I can see the little world icon thingy, that means the “internets” on, right, right? Crap, now I have to read those 300 pages I’ve already printed out. Oh, but I don’t have the ones, I really, really need. Damn you internets – conspiring with fate to deal out my comeuppance for my procrastination. It figures that God would have to remind me of his existence today. Fine, I’ll go read and wait or maybe I’ll go out. Dang, I’ll shower and stuff then. Oh well, at least I can get some discounted chocolate bunnies and bite their heads off.
Seriously, though I’m making some headway on this thesis thing but of course my online connection was sporadic at best yesterday. Luckily, I still have my two-year old brick of a cell phone for internet emergencies. Though given the rapid rate of technological innovation, my phone has become obsolete so I went and checked out the latest models. I’m an admitted nerd, but honestly, most of the technobabble about hardware, processing speed and programs goes over my head. I’m more concerned about coverage, service and can this thing do what I want it to do.
BUT (drool) after seeing the new models I was like: “Ooo, what does this button do? There’s an app for that?!” Yeah, I’m a marker’s dream: “What new Coke? How new, what it’s like? I’m sold.” I am so jonesing for the new Droid even if it doesn’t have Windows OS. So, what sold me? Well, I can walk around and say “I have my own Droid a la young Skywalker.” AND it’s a got a game that’s like Super Breakout, my very first Atari game! TOTALLY AWESOME! Man, those were the days. Good times, good times my friend.
