Well, I Wasn’t Expecting This…

My phone is broken! My trusty RAZR is toast! I was walking around in the kitchen a second ago and I set it down on the counter, expecting a text message. I went to grab a drink, and when I came back I accidentally knocked it off the counter instead of picking it up and it fell and hit the kitchen floor! I’ve dropped my phone tons, and nothing has ever happened before so I wasn’t really worried.

I should have been.

I picked it up, and the screen was white (which is usually what happens when I drop it, and I usually just need to pull the battery out and do a hard-reset). I pulled out the battery and turned it back on and THE SCREEN WAS STILL WHITE (and the outside screen was blue). Not cool. I turned it on/off about a thousand times and it was still just blank white/blue screen. I was alarmed at first (the ‘blue screen of death’ on PC’s came to mind), but then I realized that the phone still worked! Although the screens had been compromised, I can still place/receive calls (although I can’t see who’s calling). It seems like everything is fine except for the screens; the keypad and speakers still work! (And for those of you who want to make judgments about AT&T and Motorola and lambaste me with your pro-Verizon/LG garbage, you can suck it! I’ve had this phone for about two years now and this is the first time it’s crapped out on me. So there.)

Although I am excited because this gives me even more reason to get an iPhone sooner, there is one itsy-bitsy problem. The new iPhone isn’t even out yet and probably won’t be for another month and that’s the one that I’m holding out for. So, I guess I’m gonna have to pick up one of those crappy $10 phones from Target in the meantime. iPhone, here I come!

P.S. – Don’t text me (email is preferable for the time being).

The iPhone Dilemma

I really, really want an iPhone. I want one so badly that….that I really, really want one. Here’s why:

  • I need a new iPod.
  • This thing plays videos.
  • Unlimited data transfer? Hella yes! I would love to have decent mobile internet/email.
  • The physical iPhone looks awesome.
  • It’s the cool new thing and, as you know, I love to be hip. =P
  • I’ve heard that the call quality is amazing. My Razr makes this annoying buzzing noise that I cannot stand.
  • It’d be great to be able to carry around photos.
  • It’s uber-durable.
  • Visual voicemail. Must I say more?
  • The interface is amazing.
  • Touch-screen.
  • YouTube anywhere.

But, as with all great things, the device does have its drawbacks:

  • Cost. Hello? I’m a sophomore…I don’t have a job! I need the $600 (8GB model-see below) as well as $30 per month for the data plan (standard iPhone data plan plus upgraded SMS messaging…only 200 included by default? wtf?)
  • Space. Only 8GB? I’m running out of space on my 6GB mini, which is one of the reasons that I need a new iPod. Of course, I definitely don’t need to be carrying my whole music library around, as I have been doing.
  • Security. I love Long Reach, but I have my reservations about taking something this valuable into that school.
  • Messaging.  Basically, there’s only SMS messaging.  No picture/video messages or AIM (although you can access AIM online).
  • Video Recording.  No video recording capability, only a camera.

I do love my Razr, but I think I love the iPhone even more. Again, the only thing that’s really holding me back from running and buying one of these things is the cost. Anybody got an extra $700 dollars they can spare?

Oh, and happy July!

Fan-freakin’-tastic!

Beautiful Weather

The weather today is beautiful! I really want to get outside, but I do have a lot to do…I have to finish this freaking English essay and I have to work on our US History presentation for tomorrow, but that shouldn’t take me all day!

I’m also trying to get my dad to buy my mom a red Blackberry Pearl for Mother’s Day. She needs a new phone, she wants a Blackberry, and they’re on sale from Cingular/AT&T! I wish I had $100 to spend on it, but sadly, I don’t.

Looks Like I’m Now an AT&T Wireless Customer

Bye bye, Cingular! I’m gonna miss you! :(

I’m kind of disappointed about this! I think Cingular is a much cooler name than AT&T. And, I like the logo better. I hope this doesn’t mean a lot of big changes. I don’t want to have to have to start cutting back on SMS and wireless internet because of this. I really don’t want to switch carriers, though.

Blech. This is confusing.

YUCKY!!!

Kind of Blah

So…today I woke up feeling kind of nasty. I couldn’t breathe through my nose and any attempts to blow my nose resulted in a lot of noise and no mucus on the tissue. Plus, I got that nasty feeling in my ears.

I proceeded to pop some pills (Mucinex, to be exact), which definately helped. My nose started to drain, but I still feel really, really crappy. Plus, my nose is running faster than Wilma Rudolph.

So, basically, I’ve been sitting around all day. I feel too crappy to actually do anything, so I’ve been doing blah stuff.

I was able to debrand my Razr today. Yay! All the nasty Cingular MediaMall and restriction stuff is gone. Most of the changes are minor, but my phone…seems a lot happier, lol. Plus, there’s an awesome non-Cingular splash screen that plays whenever I turn it on. *orgasm*

Rehersal on Wednesday kind of kicked ass. It was tons of fun. Jessica, Margaret, Stephanie, BS, and I hung out and did nothing most of the rehersal. We finished all of our blocking for the ENTIRE show! The only part I was really in on Wednesday was the “flashback” sequence. It was kind of freaky…we were in total blackout (First time I’ve experienced a full blackout; usually you can get light from the booth or hall or whatever, but it was DARK!). That kinda freaked all of us out, lol. I ran into a row of seats, poor Jessica busted her knee on the big-ass wooden chair, and BS sat there and laughed at us (but we still love her :) ). We decided to make a human train from now on. :)

I’m getting really excited for our show. The actual show is very awesome, and the way we’ve been performing it has been superb. It’s gonna be an awesome show, and I better see everybody there. :)

School otherwise has been kind of blah. I have a 3.86 GPA on my first quarter report card. I guess that’s pretty good. Horner gave me my ONLY B. He can shove it. He’s kinda been a jerk to everybody lately. Oh, well. History is also boring as who-knows-what. Mr. Wiley talking would put anybody to sleep. At least I have Margaret (Ashleigh) to keep me company. =D

Everybody in bio was really freaked out this week. Miss Reddick got into some kind of car accident. All Mrs. Duff will tell us is that her car got totaled and that she’ll be back on Monday. I hope she’s okay. :(
