cameraphone malfunction

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Okay. So the Sam Roberts/BSS/The Stills/Jets Overhead concert at Deer Lake Park yesterday was amazing. The weather was a perfect 25 degrees and sunny. Like Venus said, Sam Roberts live — amazing. Broken Social Scene live — also amazing. The fact that I didn’t get a sunburn or tan lines after spending six hours in the sun — very amazing.

Michelle, Lindsey and I found our way to the very front of the crowd and I swear I was not even ten feet from Sam Roberts — close enough to see those sparkly blue eyes… Like every other 14-year-old girl in the crowd, I went to get my cameraphone but discovered that I had spilled water in my bag and on my phone! The screen was all fogged up from the moisture and wouldn’t turn on anymore! Gahhhhhh. I completely fried my new-not-even-a-month-old cell phone… and at such an inopportune time.

Has anybody else ever soaked their cell phone and had it survive? Please, I need hope. =)

New Sister

Monday, June 13th, 2005

On Saturday, we attended my brother-in-law’s wedding… This wedding started early — 5:30 am for some of the girls — mostly because the girls had to be ready by 9 am for the “door games” where the guys in the wedding party have to negotiate with the bridesmaids for the bride. The bribe? Some money, cake, tea, and a whole roast pig. Once the bridesmaids allow the groom to enter the house, there’s a tea ceremony for the bride’s family — the bride and groom serve tea to the elders in exchange for gifts…

One of the bridemaid’s obstacles: all the guys in the wedding party have to drink something that represents sweet, salty, bitter, and sour — those things that are part of every marriage. Alex got the bitter glass.

That would be the roast pig.

And that would be Nancy’s relatives hacking up the pig to keep the best part (the head and tail are sent back to the groom’s house).

Yes, there were orchids decorating the church pews too.
