Back before Ez was born, I broke up with my iphone. Oh, it wasn't a decision I was happy about. iphone and I had had so many great times together. Ahh...the apps... Shake-n-Spell, NYTimes Crosswords, Words with Friends, Urban Spoon....I had too many favorites to mention.
It wasn't the iphone, it was me. In an effort to save a couple bucks a month, I decided to give it up. My contract was up, so I downgraded my plan, switched out my simcard and proceeded to go through iphone withdrawls. I can't tell you how many times we'd be out somewhere, get lost and need directions. Know what's got GPS? Yep, my old phone. Damnit.
It became a glorified ipod (which just made me incredibly sad)...until last night. You see, 3 days ago, I tried to charge my old, 1990's-doesn't-even-have-a-qwerty-keyboard-crappy phone. After a day of it being completely silent, I realized it had finally just given up.
It did not choose life, my friends.
Because I haven't got any other old, crappy phones laying around, I decided to go ahead and pop that simcard right back into the phone it should be in. Oh, I think I may have teared up a bit. After disabling 3G, enabling wi-fi and changing a few other settings, I partially have my iphone back! Granted, I still can't get onto my own damn network at home (I'm working on it)...but for god's sake, I can text again without squinting and tap-tap-tapping using that stupid T9. Oh.Ma.God, do I despise that.
Anyways, I'm just waiting to start getting the threatening texts from those wallet-raping robots at AT&T, telling me that my iphone cannot be used without their ridiculous iphone data plan. I've heard this is what happens...and you know what? I don't care. I've fulfilled my contract. They can suck it.
I know you're wondering...Did I just read that? Why? Why, oh, why? The answer is simple. You thought there might be a picture of Ez at the end. But I'll do you one better...here's a video. It's from a couple weeks ago.
A little explanation - Ez started doing this thing where he would pick his head up & extend back...then laugh his head off. Lather, rinse, repeat. It went on for awhile before I thought to grab the camera. He'd simmered down a bit, especially in just how violently he was tossing his head back, so the hilarity of it is diminished a tad...but you can imagine ;-) Actually, it's kind of super-funny that he's barely doing anything but still things just looking up is hilarious.
