inkyblog: damn you Siri

today i asked Siri if she could kindly open facebook as i was far too busy powerwalking to do so with my hands. and she flat out said no....??? i asked why and at first she said she wasn't really sure why, she has asked herself that in the past :| so i asked in a more authoritative American accent and she gave me some tall tale about sometimes waking up from a dream (automated people need to sleep...?) and asking herself 'why not?' but nothing at all about opening facebook (which i KNOW she can do because people on facebook say Siri dictates their updates for them!) :| what the heck... is she like a real person in an Indian call center? and if so, why is my Siri so uncooperative and MEAN??!

this afternoon she did the unthinkable - she tried to get me busted by the pigs :| i had her in the cupholder (no handheld devices allowed in OC) and i asked her to play 'supernatural superserious' by REM (because it's like my favorite song ever). she put on 'draggin' the line' which yes, technically is REM but not what i asked her for.... so i picked her up and asked in my most American-est accent, please play 'supernatural superserious' by REM (because maybe i'm not polite enough...?) again with 'draggin' the line'. and again :| and AGAIN! argghhh!!! i had to physically press buttons (stabbily, i admit...) to get her to stop and when i looked up, a policeman was next to me, staring at the unhelpful assistant in my hands :| thanks a LOT, Siri :| the policeman followed me for a long time, but ultimately got sick of driving 22MPH at the side of me trying to get behind me and sped off to more exciting crimes :)

seriously i give up with her. the only thing she gets partially right is the weather - i asked her for the weather in Oak Glen and she just ignored the Oak Glen part and gave me the weather here on Thursday :( also i think she is bad luck - since her arrival, one of our pet mice has died (RIP little pet mouse), my headphones only play in mono, Lisa Ling's "Our America" didn't record in full, we can't keep our reservation at Mozza and i keep hearing sounds in the trash can outside like something terrifying is living in it. if i could uninstall Siri and give her a no star rating, i would so do it!!

off to make something with swirls of chocolate and peanut butter - it's just that kind of night :|
