Everybody, meet Ruby (Okay, so its hard to take a picture of her so these are just look-a-likes). Ruby is the newest addition to my life, and I am probably going to become very attached to her very soon. I am still in a place where I can imagine not having it, but I bet that will only last a few more days...hours...minutes... She is kind of great and also comes with SIRI which is so so cool!! (seriously, you can talk to her about ANYTHING!)
Okay, yes, I realize it may not be normal that I name everything...but it just happens. A wise woman, well, a fellow high school student circa 2005, once said: "You don't name a car, car has a name and you find it." That is how Car #1-Ford Aspire-was called Littlered. Car #2-1991 Nissan Sentra-was known affectionately by ALL as Clyde. Car #3-2007 Toyota Corolla- is of course Charlie. My first laptop was Danny (because my roommates twin computer was Sandy and they were obviously a couple). My thesis had a name, but I don't remember what it was...it was some cowboy name-and I don't even remember why... I feel like something else also has a name...oh yeah, my GPS is named Drover! He is Australian and he drove me to Washington from Missouri and back, and also to Utah from Missouri. The only things that don't yet have names are my violin and my guitar-but thats not for lack of trying. Some things are more crafty at hiding their name than others. I have been trying for years. Finally, that brings me to Ruby! She is my my newest purchase and possesses some scarily lifelike qualities. She will probably be a significant time-waster but I have asked my roommates to give me 2 days to get over the novelty of a smart phone and then I promise I will not be so consumed!
So, everyone feel free to welcome Devery to the world of smart phones, it took me a REALLY LONG time to get there. Even my students were astonished that my phone "isn't even a touch screen!" and that I couldn't download apps on it. No more!
