thank god for the iPhone!

yes i said it. and i even capitalized it like a dorkazoid. i don't really mean it of course, but i need a segway :) anyway on our ride to dinner we got into a heated debate about Michael Jackson's song "Ben". Aaron claimed it was written for a movie rat, but I was 97% sure it was written about MJ's pet rat. but how could we prove it on the 605 freeway? someone clearly was RIGHT here and that meant there was a loser too :| so i whipped out the fancy iPhone and typed in three words: Michael Jackson Rat. a few seconds later and there was the answer - we were BOTH RIGHT, it was written about a movie rat but inspired by a pet rat!!! horray! don't you love when that happens?! iPhone you redeemed yourself. this once.....

of course every compliment for iThings has to be counterbalanced by a complaint. i don't know why but my iTunes plays the same song over and over. and over and over. it's quite fun the first couple of times it repeats... but after the 67th play of Grace Kelly i am reduced to tears and i promise myself it won't happen again (but it always does and i have checked and unchecked every box...)

Sam and Danny keep chattering about "Andrew" Jackson and his zombie video. too cute, getting their presidents and deceased stars confused :)

today i learned why they call it a hot glue gun, that glue is SO HOT it can actually melt one's fingertips clean off :( clearly i am not the adult they are referring to when they say on the back of the craft instructions that adult help is required :|
