…hijacked my cell phone at a party last weekend. When I finally got it back, my phone was… well, different.
The first menu page hadn’t changed:

The second menu page, however, had a bunch of wonderful new apps including “The Holy Bible,” “Boy Ahoy” and “FOX Sports” among others. (Note: The first three apps in the top left were already there.)

The third menu page was filled with a bunch of pro-Republican, Justin Bieber and vegan apps. Oh, and one about periods. I’m still trying to figure out which one of these is the scariest.

The fourth menu page was… sigh, you get the idea.

My calendar was also hacked. The next day, for an entire hour, I was scheduled to eat my grandma’s creamy potato chowder.

Every day thereafter, and I mean literally every day thereafter, at 4:00 AM (with an alarm that was scheduled to go off) I would be reminded that I have AIDS.

On September 11th I would be reminded to “never forget.”

And on Sunday, October 30th, which also just happens to be our wedding day, I was scheduled to “kiss happiness goodbye” in Chicago.

With friends like these,

Let’s not forget to give Erik some credit for most of those calendar entries. Especially the constant one. I’ll take credit for “Grandma’s Creamy Potato Chowder,” though. THE STATE never gets old.
Never forget,

Shit, my bad. I thought you two tag-teamed it. Big props to Erik, too! And yes, the Royal Wedding app is giving me up-to-the-minute updates! Thank Christ. Not sure what I would do if I missed even one minutiae of the Royal Wedding!

That’s how good we are at being sneaky. We let you catch us. But no one catches Erik Rose. NO ONE.

Marla, I have no clue what you’re talking about. It’s spelled correctly all throughout the post. The only misspelling of “Robyn” is in your comment.
MWA-HA-HA!

Are your wedding vows on a Sunday morning? I know it is a Sunday,
but I don’t want to get up too early.
April 28, 2011 at 12:50 pm
jshady
Yep, Sunday at 10AM.
Just kidding. It starts around 5PM.
