Well not really, but today did. In short, I woke up today to find my trusty mobile phone broken.
What the fuck?!The LCD screen gave up on me. There were funny blotches and upon close inspection - a rather serious crack inside the shell. My intelligence tells me that I have somehow landed my big ass on it last night. You big fucking idiot, Ralverd you. It was only 6 months old at most, my poor Nokia. So what was I to do? Search for an alternative, obviously. And I did try to look for one. The search went on for about an hour but I couldn't find anything even close to it. It was THAT good, really. So I bit the bullet and ordered the same phone on Nokia.co.uk. Yes, the EXACT model as above. Why not use my older phones? Trust me, once you use a Nokia (the 6700 Classic at that), you'll never want to use anything else. Samsung is for pussies. *For your info, I own a Samsung myself.
To be honest, spending another £220 left a bad taste in my mouth. It was just yesterday that I spent a few bucks ordering a plastic camera on Ebay along with some soon-to-be-expired slide films to play with. The irony was that I made a new year resolution to save up a good amount of money. Epic failure. Perhaps it's time to rethink the budgeting... Maybe sell a camera or two? Nah, never.
That said, I actually have an anthropology assignment which is due on Tuesday. A 2500-word book review on a book about some Brazilian aborigines known as the 'Yanomano'. A tribe whose men tie the foreskin of their penises around their belts. A tribe who abducts women to have sex with and hopefully marry. A tribe where 10-year-old kids are addicted to tobacco and hallucinogenic drugs. A tribe whose women do not use (or use) menstrual pads of some sort because most of the time they're either pregnant, nursing kids or sterile. If there's one thing that anthropology teaches me, it is that the world is filled with loads of funny and interesting people. Then again, I stand by my claim that anthropologists are simply people with too much time to spare. Thankfully, I am almost done with the work.
