everything 'i' sucks

well, except ice age 3, which TOTALLY didn't deserve the half star review it got in our paper. i mean, who gives a movie a half star? THAT person got out of bed on the wrong side that morning for sure.

we took the girls out for dinner last night to one red dog then to see ice age 3.

this is the 'fastest indian' pizza.
it be a play on words from the movie of the same name
(just thought it'd clear that up).
so the hubs got an iPhone the other day. we know this because i've been talking to the top of his head for the past 4 days. i swear if i hear that submarine diving ring tone, or the one that only dogs can hear - i'm gonna hurt someone REAL bad.

i call this the iPhone coma
(you know, like the blackberry coma, but with an iPhone)
(just thought i'd clear THAT one up too)

steve jobs, new liver or not, is a BOY. and he makes BOYS' TOYS. how can anything that makes the sound of a submarine diving be used as a BUSINESS TOOL.

TOOL, maybe, but business - NOPE.

here's the girls playing ' boy meets girl' at the restaurant.
before last night, i'd never heard of this game. have you?

you each get a piece of paper and write:

a boy's name
then you fold it over so no-one can see what you wrote and you pass it onto the next person

they write:

a girl's name
then you fold it over so no-one can see what you wrote and you pass it onto the next person

then you write:

where they went, then
he said, then
she said, then
what happened in the end

each time passing it on.

then there's the big reveal and lots of laughing and gaffawing

the funniest one of the night was:

miss 12's left boob and michael jackson

.....and they all died of swine flu

[i just gave birth to them. it's really not my fault].


remember that 'no cellphones at the table' rule i have?
it's really not working very well for me right now.

i blame apple.

iPhones are ruining the nuclear family

and while i'm bagging all things 'i'...

i recently (like, back in march) took part in an ADOBE online survey. in exchange for 12 and a half minutes of my precious online time, they PROMISED to send me a $100 iTUNES voucher.

it was a total WIN WIN situation. right?

weeks - nay MONTHS later, this arrives...

with this in it

can i hear you say OVERKILL?
don't ever let apple say they're environmentally friendly coz THEY LYING!!!

here's some perspective for the visually impairedso i have not ONE but TWO problems with this situation
(in addition to the whole wastage thing that's happening)

my $100 iTUNES voucher is in fact only a $50 iTUNES voucher

and if you read the small print, it's only redeemable for iTUNES AUSTRALIA

which is totally NOT new zealand

several days later the additional $50 voucher shows up

FOR iTUNEs australia only.

i'm writing a letter
(actually an email, coz it's way more environmentally friendly...)
