I apparently have new technology

iDJ got the new iPhone so he’s setting up his old one to be my new phone. I’m not terribly interested in the technical aspects, but I’m getting to hear the step by step process as he does everything out loud. I also have to provide passwords on occasion. I got nuttin to hide, but he’s a good man and respects my privacy. I am a bit surprised that he’d rather set my new (old, I suppose: it is the 3GS) phone up for me than play with his truly new one. Aww. I will miss my old iPhone (first generation, and one of the first dozen ever used, ahem, illegally in Ireland). I never wanted it but it became an essential. Damn you, smart technology!

Yuck, I’ve seen the word ‘phone’ too many times now, it has become gibberish. Also, I can’t see or type phone without mentally making it ‘phone – because it is an abbreviation. Thanks, mom!

Dinner will be late tonight

It’s 9:45pm. I’ve been reading, checking the classifieds in the local papers, and smoking too much in front of the fireplace. I needed another drink (cheap non-brand rum n Pepsi Max, since you ask) and went to pour myself one in the kitchen, as you do.

The oven is on. iDJ is making Cajun spiced roast chicken breast for dinner. I had helped put the spices on the meat at 8:30, so he didn’t have to wash his hands a bazillion times. Poor didums got cajun spice and chicken ook in the numerous cuts that he managed to give himself today. There was much whining and ouching and a FB post. Anyhow, he wanted to let it sit ten minutes to let the rub ‘marinate’ or whatever a rub does to soak into the meat. If that is even possible.

At 9:45… the roasting pan full of meat is still on the counter.

All we could do was laugh. And FB post. And now, oh joy! blog…

The reason for the name iDJ is: he’s a complete Apple Nerd and he’s an Internet and pub/club DJ. Apple had some launchy-thingie tonight, and he was watching that while listening to new music and prepping for his next Internet show… he can multitask! but apparently not so much as to include shoving a pan in an oven.

Love you anyway!
