Friday the 13th!

I guess that explains the zombie-infestation blogging. When will you people GET IT? The more you poke fun and take the piss out of the zombie apocalypse, the less likely people will be to believe you WHEN IT REALLY HAPPENS!!!

Get with the program, people!!!

I am sick. The roommate, who's had a particularly bad week, must have given it to me in a fit of irony. Because I was stupid idiot who went, "How do you catch a cold in summer?" when she was sick. Serves me right. I could barely breathe last night, but at least the achy pain of swallowing is gone.

I have a new phone! Contracts came up again, and out we went to the Verizon store. My mother hates the place with a passion. I don't blame her. They went without me two years ago, and I missed the fact that this phone-setting-up thing takes TWO HOURS. We weren't even unsure about the phones we wanted. My sisters got Blackberry Pearls. (OMG THEY DON'T NEED BLACKBERRIES.) My mother and I got the free Jukes. (I got the red one!) It is so tiny. I mean, it's chunky, but it's slim, only about two fingers wide. It has 2Gb of music storage space, which is awesome, but the size of the headphone jack IS TINY. It doesn't fit my earphones for my iPod. And the earphones that came with are for crap. I should have known there'd be a catch when they told me the phone came with the necessary cables to put music on. Oh well...

Did I mention that it swings out to open sideways. I kept playing with it and my mother was all (rightly) "You're going to break that in a minute. Probably, since, again, law of averages states that even though I've kept two phones whole over their lifetimes, the fact that I didn't get the insurance on my phone means it will break.

AND THEN I CAN GET A BLACKBERRY.

I'll be harassing people when I see them next to take new picture ID pictures.

Yeah, a lot of cell phones come with 2.5mm headphone jacks instead of the standard 3.5mm type. If you want to use your regular headphones, you'll need an adapter, and apparently the adapter plug has to have three stripes on it, not just two (or you'll get sound out of only one ear).

The official adapter from Samsung is the AETS43CSEB/STD, available fairly cheaply from Amazon and some of its partners here, although I'm not positive that all of them are selling original Samsung adapters.

I caught a cold in summer. I think it was the heat wave that weakened my immune system. Scorching heat - car A/c blasting in face - scorching heat - cool office - scorching heat - etc etc etc. Thankfully it didn't last long.

I agree that the Verizon store is horrible. I usually just go to look at the phones and then order the one I like from their website. I'm not sure yet what I'll get when I can do new-every-two again in September or thereabouts. I like my Chocolate a lot, but it's starting to crap out on me.

Sorry to hear you're sick. And yes, the Jukes are neat if only for that sideways-open. :)
