Despite the fact that I'm barely old enough the remember the 90s.
You see, back this spring, my dad replaced the radio system in my car (against my protests that it was perfectly functional, thank you very much). Or rather, the car that my parents so graciously allow me to drive.
Now, my radio has a fancy radio, a USB and auxiliary input. I hardly use them. All I use is my CD slot.
I love CDs, and I don't know why. It would be easier, and higher quality, less wasteful, and the same thing if I just made playlists and played those. But there is something I can't give up about CDs.
It's irrational, I know. It drives my dad bonkers. Sorry.
Maybe I'm just a hipster? I dunno. I just love my CDs.
On an absolutely, totally unrelated note, I broke my phone. (That's not really true. It was a very logical, straightforward thinking process. I went to Wikipedia to read about CDs, because I was curious. It made me think of my Wikipedia app and how I love it with all my heart, because I can read random things whenever I want, which made me think of my phone.)
While on vacation, I dropped it. It smacked the corner of a wooden table and got a deep crack in it. Luckily, the touch screen still works (as of right now, at least) but it's done funky things to the LCD screen. It started with purplish discolorment that started around the deepest crack, and slowly spread across the screen like a rainbow. Once a full rainbow made it across, now it's all dark and hard to read. Not fun, and it's gonna cost a lot to fix. :(
Because that description did not adequately capture the situation, I made a guide to show the progression of the death of my screen. I'm quite proud.
I think I wouldn't mind a purple tint on my phone but yeah you should really get that looked at. You aren't totally stuck in the 90s though. If you were in the 90s your phone would have broken the table. Those were good phones. I love cds too, and much prefer them to downloads. If I can, I will continue to never download music, unless it's DRM free and I can make copies of it.
ReplyDeleteI like CDs, too! That's all I listen to (I don't have many songs on my mp3 player. Stupid newfangled technology that I can't figure out...:P).
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are too cute!!
ReplyDelete❤Not Just My Allegories❤
CDs are cool
ReplyDeleteI never used CDs as a kid. I didn't even really get into developing my own taste of music until about High school. So I can't really relate.
ReplyDeleteDropping phones on the other hand...
Your illustrations made my day.
ReplyDeleteI was never much of a CD person.
However, I want the Muse 2nd Law box set SO BAD you have no idea.
But it's a HUNDRED FREAKING DOLLARS.
