Quin Browne: Storm

Storm

I am not a gadget person, I kill them with my magic powers.

I have the iPod, protected now with not one, but TWO cases and never held by me for longer than a second or two.

I just saw something that made me whimper in desire... moan in anticipation...wheeze in need.

This....The Blackberry Storm. They even give you a site to test drive it... like I'm going to do that. AHAHAHAHA! RTFM? ME?? *snicker*

A phone, you say? A PHONE???

Oh, not a phone, not a phone, but, a PHONE. A Blackberry, with a touch screen with bounceback buttons, a sleek case, lots of programs and shit that I have no idea how to work, 3G (whatever that is), the internet (I live on this... I am never bored anymore), a slidey screen thingy, buttons and pretty colours.

Oh, yes, it will be mine. I will kill it soon after I have it in my hands, however... you should see my sad new one. It doesn't look new.

It will... be mine.

I am equally destructive with electronis, though more so with cell phones. Blackberry finally made a flip phone that might be able to hold up to riding on my right front pocket, but it has that screwed up "smart type," the typing system that is anything but.; November 11, 2008 at 2:14 AM
Bud said...: I understand completely. I'm useless without my iPhone. If they ever produce one that makes coffee, I may never have to come out of my studio again.; November 11, 2008 at 4:30 AM

Peter Varvel said...: I'm like you - that's why I have such an old and simpler model. It's less likely to break down on me.

quotes i love

"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman." (Anais Nin)
May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and everyone of us.
"Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous, than absolutely boring."
Fear need not be a tool of realism. I think I'm going to work with it.
"...a season of love. it is only found in someone else's heart. right now, some one you know is looking for it, and it's in you."
"to accomplish great things, we must not only act, but, also dream; not only plan, but, also believe." ~anatole frace
"at night, when the objective world has slunk back into its cavern and left dreamers to their own, there come inspirations and capabilities impossible at any less magical and quiet hour. no one knows whether or not he is a writer unless he has tried writing at night." ~h.p. lovecraft
