Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson


It's finally happened. My stupid mobile has blinking died. The stinking screen on it doesn't work, so I can't tell if it's on unless I ring it. I can't read text messages. I can't see if it needs charging. I can't tell if it's in range. I can't tell if I've got a voice mail message if I didn't hear it ring. I can't get text messages. And all of my phone numbers are stored in it, so I can't bloody well ring anyone that's not programmed into the speed dial, because I don't know anyone's numbers. It makes me want to cry, just thinking about it.

I hate how dependent I am on stupid things like computers and mobile phones - if they collapse I am completely screwed, and have to spend tons trying to get it all fixed. I'm just coming up on the two year mark of owning my mobile, and have taken ridiculously good care of it, so I can only assume that they're built to just break for no reason so that you have to splash out and buy a new one every six months.

I'm quite annoyed. Can you tell?
