For never was a tale of more groan… than this of me, Scrabble and the I-Phone
I love Scrabble. And I always thought it loved me back. But I now realize that it has been cheating on me, and seems to have fallen in love with the I-Phone – leaving me alone and despaired.
I do not have an I-Phone, I have a Blackberry. It seems so many people on this planet have followed the I-Phone phenomenon. And all of those people can play Scrabble with each other every hour of every day. It’s just not fair.
But then I realize being able to access the wonderful game of Scrabble at all times can also lead to problems. Scrabble has some serious personality flaws. It can be obsessive and never lets you put it down. It quickly tells you that you are wrong if you make a simple spelling error. And it always keeps score and tells you when someone else is better. Ugh. Who needs that?!?
I guess maybe it’s better this way. Or at least I’m going to keep telling myself that, while I remain jealous and excluded.
Woe is me.
Yes, woe is you, because I love my iPhone!
ReplyDeleteJust think of this, if you had one, you'd never get any work done. Srsly.
Alas, I am also iPhone-less and with a Blackberry.
ReplyDeleteAt times I try to think of myself as above the fray - stronger than the lemmings that blindly follow Apple's siren call of pretty, user-friendly gadgets and slave to their proprietary iTunes. But then I watch people flipping through pictures, perusing the internet on their little screens and wonder - "What are you waiting for? Sooner or later you're going to end up with one."
Then I wake up and realize it won't connect to the corporate network.
Sigh...
you. are. hilarious.
