I got got by two April Fool's this year. That's the first time in ages. I'm so annoyed.

I'm going to post this here, just so I have it for posterity (or something). I think the following was done on purpose, mum thinks it's coincidence, and I have told no-one else. If it's coincidence, it's flipping weird.
( this is bibble, feel free to skip )

I got a new phone on Monday! It's not the one I wanted, it's actually a newer model, and the guy in the phone shop bumped up my phone bill by an extra £3 a month because of it. I'm actually a little mad about that, but I didn't want to wait another month for a different, cheaper phone because I am impatient.
So I have a Sony Xperia Z5! The guy in the shop was confident that I would like it (though that was probably just part of his patter, who knows or cares, right?) And I do! I like holding it, and think it's really nicely designed, and I like using it. Maybe I should nip back in the shop and tell him he was right ;)
I got a 32Gb memory card for it (though it can take up to a 200Gb (!!!) card) for £10. This is almost as much storage space as my first laptop's first hard drive had in its entirety. I am BOGGLING OVER HERE.
Of course, the first thing I did, when I figured out how do it was put music on the card. (Because Linux doesn't like talking to Sony phones, so much so that it doesn't recognise them when plugged in. There are workarounds, but my brain is too tired to deal with masses of code right now). Anyway, eventually I remembered that I had a card reader on my laptop, so I could transfer music and photos that way! YAY.
(Also: the playlist function in the default player tells you how long the playlist lasts! I have been missing this one function for years. Sadly, it doesn't tell you how long all the songs in your collection will play for but eh, I can deal).
ALSO TWITTER NOW WORKS LIKE IT'S MEANT TO! I CAN FAVE THINGS AND REPLY AND IT DOESN'T CRASH!!!! *throws confetti* I HAD FORGOTTEN WHAT THAT WAS LIKE.
