I haven't really touched this thing since the election, and a big part of that was the fact that my computer's power supply was on its last legs, and I was trying to be understanding of its illness. Well, the poor dear went and died on me yesterday, taking my hard drive's boot functionality with it. My info I can salvage, but the money to build or buy a replacement computer I could not.
So I looked at the money I was trying to save up to fix it, when I wasn't having to give anal landladies and price gouging utility companies the vast majority of it, and I says to myself, "Self, we need our Internet and social connection fixes, and we haven't played a game on the PC in months. Might we have any more affordable options here if we accept that we do our gaming on the consoles now?"
To which the rational part of my brain replied, "Well, laptops are becoming more reason--" before being abruptly cut off by the techie part of my brain, which posited, and I quote.
*ahem*
"IPHONE! IPHONE IPHONE IPHONE IPHONE!!! BLARRGHARBLE!!!"
So. Screw it. I have an iPhone. I drank the koolaid. App store pillaging commenced. E-mail was checked. GPS was used to keep me from getting lost, raped and/or eaten in the backwoods of Mississippi. IMDB was used to settle a bet. And now I'm posting to my LJ. Oh yes, and I can also turn my screen into a giant sheet of bubble wrap. That one totally sold me.
So if anyone with a text capable phone ever gets bored, and you have my number, sit with me, chat with me. Or shoot me an email.
Long story short, I am hardwired to the interwebs now. My condolences to productivity.
