Always Accessible

I recently upgraded my cell phone from a Motorola Razr to the T-Mobile G1. I have been told that with this phone I could conquer the world. That is an awful lot of power in the palm of my hand if that is truly the case. But in keeping with my plan that 2009 will be the year of Alicia, that seems appropriate. (Yes, I have made the decision that this is my year.) I am feeling in touch with the times. Very much a part of the world. I will be one of those ultra-hip people capable of updating their facebook status on-the-go. With all these warm and fuzzy, life validating feelings being introduced by my cell phone, I thought I would follow in John Mayer's footsteps and blog about my new technologies. ( I am told by a reliable source that he does this. Although when I tried to find his blog, he seemed to write about nothing but Holiday Cakes.)

While pretending to work yesterday, my morning consisted of updating my facebook status multiple times via my new phone, while sitting in front of my facebook page on my computer. I already have a Robert Pattinson video saved as a favorite on my phone's youtube application and I have googled the Azores, which was very handy after seeing a commercial for next week's episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. I am always up-to-date on my favorite celebrity gossip as I can access perezhilton.com on my phone while I sit in front of the same screen on my computer. I am certain to never miss a thing. My text messages to friends have become little poetic gems, as I am able to use a keyboard with all the letters of the alphabet. My words and thoughts have been liberated from the confines of standard text message language. No more lols for me. When I set the alarm clock on my new world conquering phone, it conveniently tells me how many hours I have until the alarm will go off. It is a bit distressing to be informed by this device that I have only 5 hours of sleep ahead of me. It is the same feeling as if my mom is telling me I am up too late.

I am still discovering what other hidden treasures my phone holds. Perhaps there is a secret laser beam that cuts through glass in case I am ever trapped in...something made of glass. Maybe it will transform into one of those Shammy Wow Towels that absorbs liquid stains magically off the carpet without applying any pressure. For all I know it could unfold into a Snuggie blanket just in time for my next cult meeting. No matter what occurs, my phone and I are prepared for anything, and I will keep you posted on any future developments....
