So here's what happened with my phone: that last picture of the teacup, the one with the blueberry-colored New Moon Red tea in it, was taken 0.85 seconds before the phone slipped out of my hands and plunged directly into the cup. I let out a great shriek and whipped it out so fast that it was like the phone simply fell in and bounced out ("FIVE ( Read more... )

I still like how I named your phone Bella because of its spectacular dive in New Moon.

It really does sound like it was trying to not-kill itself, doesn't it?

cleolinda October 27 2009, 20:32:05 UTC

That really was pretty much the best thing ever. I'm afraid to continue calling it that, though. Except that... actually, "the iBella" would be hilarious.

P.S. queenanthai was my LJ when I was 25.

"Well, he still won't hurt her."

Buh. *blink, blink*

Makes you wonder what sort of absurd litigation led to the requirement of such a disclaimer...

Yeah, what's the opposite of that, "He's a little sketchy, keep a baseball bat handy."?

If your iPhone ever the takes the plunge again, (or any other electronic item) the best thing to do is to turn it off and then leave it to dry completely. Only turn it back on once it absolutely dry, as using it whilst wet can cause bits to short out, and can kill an otherwise rescue-able item.

I'm glad your iPhone has suffered no lasting damage, I'd be lost without mine.

Normally I'd say take out the battery too, but I don't think Iphone batteries are removable.

This. Is so true. I completely killed my computer after spilling water on it and then freaking the hell out and trying to turn it back on after it shut down by itself. Sad, sad day. I still haven't gotten the files from it yet, although I have been told that the hard drive should be fine.

So she played mah-jongg on her phone while the big car chase with the giant truck THAT IS SO AWESOME was on, and then the interrogation scene, but I caught her watching bits out of the corner of her eye.

Replace 'mah-jongg' with 'a pile of catalogs' and that sounds just like my mom any time my dad and I watch a movie. Although I've decided that I will no longer answer questions (usually along the lines of "Oh wait, who's that" about a character who has been on screen for at least 30 minutes) since it's her fault if she won't pay attention.

I downloaded the e-book Sunday and read some of it while I was waiting to meet a professor. He came out of his office to find me trying to silence my giggling.

cleolinda October 27 2009, 20:42:09 UTC

Yeah, although I cut her slack this time because the movie was starting an hour in, so "Who's Harvey Dent?" is an admissible question at that point.

(Aw! Hee.)
