I was playing a video game last evening at Jim’s house and he handed me his iPad to take one of those facebook/internet personality quizzes. This one was based on picking a color from a list of options for each question.
I paused the game, ran through it, and waited for the results. It ended up saying that I was awesome and that everyone should aspire to be like me. Or something like that – I may have paraphrased that a bit.
I turned to Jim and – fishing for a compliment – asked, “So, do think that was accurate?”
Not missing a beat he replied, “Would you like to take it again?”
I laughed so hard I snorted.

I decided to upgrade my phone recently and decided today would be the day. So, over the past few days I had been exporting and deleting my photos and removing apps. I even cleaned up my old phone and found the original case.
Took it into the store and got a great deal on a new phone – went from a Galaxy S3 to an S6. Which is a bit like going from the NCC 1701 (from the rebooted move, let’s be fair) to the NCC 1701-D.
I got a wireless charging station, screen protector, and a case for free and saved a bit on my monthly bill.
The only problem was how long it took. It took a while to move over the photos – apparently, I hadn’t actually deleted them from the super secret recycle bin. And then the text messages…
Apparently, I had accumulated 9,000 text messages.
Yeah.
We all know I’m kinda wordy and I had had the phone a while, but sheesh – 9,000?
The clerk suggested I go get a snack and come back in a half-hour. I got a cookie and green tea from Panara bread and spent 5 minutes in Rue 21/Rue Guy before deciding again that I’m too old and uncool to shop there – then went back to pick up my phone.
Today has been re-setting up the phone and installing apps. It’s a cool phone and I’m happy with the purchase.
And those 2 hours being off-line?
