Dear blackberry makers,

When you sold me my $17 memory card and explained that it could in fact store the world on it, I thought I would be safe to umm, store stuff on it.

I was wrong.

The other day, I was just sitting on the couch when my dad called and to my surprise I heard a default ringtone. (TO CLARIFY, THERE WAS NO WATER ON MY COUCH). after looking through some every file on my phone, i realized the normal ringtone (fittingly “I’m not going to write you a love song”) no longer was on my memory card – because it had deleted itself.

That’s right. IT DELETED ITSELF! That freaking thing had video, pictures, digital recording of work interviews, music and the air I breathe stored on it.

I didn’t panic though. I thought, surely those nice folks at one of many local Verizon stores could fix the problem. No. no they couldn’t. In fact, I’m would argue that they either a. didn’t know what exactly my problem was b. didn’t believe me or c. assumed i must have dropped the phone in the atlantic, seeing as how severe water damage was the only explanation.

In any case, I am extremely disappointed with the quality of this device and it’s corresponding memory card. I have since developed trust issues and am wondering if I should (gasp) switch to some sort of apple product for all my memory-card related needs. (Those iPod touch thingys look pretty tempting). Just wanted to give you a heads up!

Thanks for your time,

Lindell

funny (stupid) things boys have said to me

> while laying next to him, i said “I like laying next to you.” he said: i wish i could clone myself, so i could see why people like laying next to me. moral of the story? when a girl says ‘i like laying next to you’ just say, ‘i like laying next to you too.

> while (another) boy was looking at my french manicure: ‘your nails aren’t even painted.’ oh yes. i just have supa whie tips naturally.

UPDATE: This is my first sucessful use of the write now-post later technology (aka, the time machine). and it seems to have been a succcess. now i just have to fix my flux capacitor and i’ll be winning tomorrow’s lottery in no time.

thoughts on my blog

Published: December 26, 2008 / Updated: December 27, 2008 Crystal humor, im cool

1. I recently had business cards made for my blog. (so i don’t have to constantly spell the word burritos for people). well, the lovely people i ordered them from were all ‘oh, let us give you some magnets for like $3.’ so i was all ‘cool.’ however, i have since been told people shouldn’t keep magnets near their computer because it could demagnetize it or something. in conclusion, if i give you a magnet, please do the smart thing: put it on your freaking fridge. and then tell everyone who asks about it that im awesome and then hand them my card.

2. (i think) i’ve figured out how to delay posts from appearing until a later date. if i am in fact smart enough to have figured this out, i will now write two or three posts when im at a computer and then time them to post daily. if im feeling really awesome and i figure out how to have a separate page for daily photos, i may do this for that as well and resurrect that lovely feature. however, that could take a little longer.

3. never. never. never. get a freaking godaddy account. don’t let those super bowl commercials they have every year sway you. the hosting service is THE slowest thing in the world. unfortunatley, i’ve committed to a d*mn year with them, so i’ll just have to be frustrated because im too cheap to pay someone else, when i’ve already paid for one.

4. santa didn’t bring me a laptop (although he did bring me season one of 30 rock, which im excited about, and a two-disk edition of the departed) so im going to try saving up for one again. i’ve decided that instead of asking people to buy me one, im going to be more practical about the whole thing. so, if you have a gently used laptop or computer and need someone to take it off your hands, im your girl. will pay money for said laptop or computer. to get in touch and hook me, look under the contact me secion of this blog and send me an e-mail.
