The End of an Era

Subtitled: I Now Have a Wocket Robot in my Pocket.

Ode to a phone:

You've been my phone for 3-odd years,
I always thought our parting would bring me to tears,
It seems, instead, that I'm happy inside,
A new phone, that works?! This I can abide.
Goodbye, dear flip phone, goodbye and goodnight,
We've been together so long, it almost doesn't seem right.
But there's a new phone in town, and you're out the door
I'd sell you online, but no one uses flip phones anymore.
--Peace--


And so ends the era of a dumb not-so-smart phone.  I held out as long as I could, but the need for GPS drove me to it.  That, and a sweet Mother's day deal.  I think I'll keep the little guy around, though, just in case I get freaked out about the whole my-phone-is-a-small-robot thing.  Anyone else out there still have an oldie-but-goodie making their phone calls for them?

I watched iRobot too many times,

I think its a Haiku...

So I'm sitting here and...

its just rained (again)
its dark
Handsome is on his way out of town
the windows in my house are open
the smell of fresh rain and damaged basil and mint plants is wafting in my windows
I'm sad about the potential damage to my herbs
I'm absolutely loving this smell right now
my dog is lying beside me in such a way that one small input from him could ruin it
I'm going to enjoy this as long as it lasts
I'm not sure how to do my finals project
its due tomorrow
the "care" button deep down inside of me must be damaged
my Mom will be ticked at me if she reads that
did I mention it smells wonderful outside
I want to bake things and then eat it all
I can't because I didn't even exercise a little today
I might be procrastinating a little bit
its just rained (again)
its lovely outside.

I hope you are having a wonderful night.  If you're not, might I suggest opening a window to the darkness, and crushing up some basil and mint right under your nose.  Its done wonders for me.  Oh, and stay away from your dog's backside; but thats a usual suggestion.

Basically done with school,
