Mobiru!!

Got my mobile phone a few days ago!  They were out of green so I got peepee yellow.  The interesting thing about it though is that I don't have any minutes, but I have unlimited email/txt!  Cell phones are assigned both a phone number and a separate, unique email address.  I think they tried to do it in the States, too, but it never caught on. 

Anywho, on the demo model was this itty bitty little sticker that looked like uh...a drop of water, maybe?  So I'm thinking, hhmm, are they trying to say that this phone is waterproof?  Yeah, right!!  Waterproof phone, psshhhht.  They'll say anything to sell a product. 

A day later I dropped my phone in the toilet. We're talking full submersion here, people. 

Phone: SPLOOOOSH.

Me: Uh oh.  What did I just drop in the -
       Oh Goddamnitalltohell. 
       *Pull phone out of toilet. Stand there looking stupid.*
       *30 seconds later, regain sentience and sterilize handset.* 
       Damnit, damnit, damnit.  I haven't even had the damn thing 24 hours yet.  I wonder if that warrantee covers this...
       *Flip open to survey the damage.*

Phone: *Pretends it wasn't just dropped in the toilet.  Functions normally.*

Me: What the...holy shit!

True story.  It's ACTUALLY WATERPROOF!  If only it wasn't peepee yellow, I think I would have the most awesome phone ever.  EEEVVVVEEEERRRRRR.

That is all.
