Coffin Mistake

I just realised that I didn't write a single blog for the entire month of July. Loads of things happened, I just didn't want to write about many of them. The first rule of writing a blog should be: don't put up anything you wouldn't be happy to have your mother read. It's a good rule. Not that my mother was the only person that I had to consider, or that I was involved in any serious debauchery or anything.

I suppose the main story of the past few weeks was that I bought a new phone. My old phone got a bit of a soaking in the rain, and stopped working. Random numbers started to appear on the screen, and I couldn't dial any numbers or enter my PIN code or anything. This had happened before, but the phone finally seemed to be beyond repair. I'd been having problems with it for ages, anyway. So the next day, I went and bought an LG Android phone. It took me five minutes to figure out how to put credit on it for the first time, it's very different from the Nokia system that I'm used to. Texting took a couple of days to figure out. But once I realised how well it syncs up with my Google account, I was really impressed. I can admit that it's not as slick as an iPhone or whatever, but I can get along fine with it.

I've also been revisiting my Curb Your Enthusiasm DVDs lately; it's find it much easier to watch the second time round. My mother has even started to get into it, and she'll join me for an episode or two. It's a bit painful watching some of the scenes with her though - the other night we watched a scene where there was hardcore porn showing on a TV in the background, with the sound the whole way up. I had to set my face in a mask of concentration not to look embarrassed.
