i am curious, pink

so i'm caught up in the hype. i just ordered a pink razr to replace my falling apart cell phone. i really don't know much about it other than a. it looks super high tech and b. it's PINK! i was just thrilled to find out that i could get one for only thirty bucks from verizon because of their deal where they give you $100 towards a new phone every two years provided you sell your soul to them again for another couple years. there's no way to get a cheap cell phone without brokering a deal with the devil. but what the hell. i need cell phone service, and i want a supercool pink phone. so i signed up.

i think this thing is supposed to have a better quality camera in it. like anyone is taking high-quality photos with their telephone. but i will say that the camera phone was a great invention and i was thrilled when i got my first one a couple years back. i was wantonly taking pictures of whatever till i got over the novelty. now i only use it occasionally for what i believe is the camera phone's true purpose: the moments in life when you wish you had a camera. like when you see a trash can at the fair marked "doo doo only." or when you see a restaurant called "louie's cuisine of china."i am still cursing the fact that the peepsmoblie came through town back in the days before i had a camera phone. i sure would like to have a photo of that bus with the giant peep on top. just to send to my sister. we share a disdain for peeps that goes back to childhood, which is why i do things like send her peeps for random occasions and signed her up for the peeps fan club. don't worry, she has her own ways of torturing me.



anyhow, i can't wait for my fancy newfangled phone to arrive. it may take upwards of five business days. i'd say that means next friday. i hope my current phone can keep hanging on by its one hinge till then.

oh and i didn't sign on for the cell phone insurance plan because i figured out it would cost me $170 over two years. so i hope this thing holds up better than the last one.
