I am pretty popuLAR. Only because I have the iPhone 4S, so for the first time in my life, I am in the IN crowd. I fit in with Howard Stern, Rhianna, and most likely Emma Stone. I think the only celeb that doesn’t have an iPhone4S is Chelsea Handler, and it’s possible that she has one now. Last I heard she was still using a blackberry. No comment. Jared still uses a droid, I love him. I really do! He uses a PC too… he’s really testing me! ;) Anyway back to my story. I crack up watching the iPhone 4s commercials with John Malkovich, {my celeb twin} Zooey Deschanel, and Martin Scorese. Last night I was really bored, and by bored I mean putting off cleaning out my closet, and organizing it so I turned on the TV to watch the tear-jerker Spanglish, it wasn’t even on HBO so I may or may not have been watching it on Lifetime in my pajamas at 7pm on a Monday. It happens. The iPhone 4s commercial interrupts my dramedy, and I realize what the EFF! I never use SIRI! According to these commercials she can do so many cool things. The only time she and I even chat is when I accidentally hold the home button down for too long, and she asks me “Miki, can I help you?”…. oops! Then I am embarrassed and hurry and press the home button again to rid of her. What can I say? She catches me off guard sometimes. After coming to this epiphany , I decide to look up youtube videos, not of ‘how to use siri’ but of the iPhone 4s commercials. So do you know what I did? I put tons of events in my calendar and then asked Siri, “Do I have a busy week”, “What does my month look like?” “What am I doing in September?” After realizing I am not really popuLAR and don’t have a million things to do everyday, I moved on. “Siri, tell me a joke.” She tells funny jokes. About an hour later, Jared came home and I was forced to act like I hadn’t been talking to my phone, with Spanglish on pause, and youtube commercials on the iPad. As I hear him turn the door knob, I take off running to hide in my closet. He appears a few seconds later. “Hi houndsley, how was work? I have been organizing our closet for the past couple hours.. we have lots of stuff.”
He totally bought it.
{Siri magically appearing and startling me}
The issue is that then I had to actually organize and clean the closet to back up my story. BOO!
The upside is that this month the vlog we are hosting on the 15th is called
“What’s on your feet?”

..and man oh man do I have a lot of shoes that I found hiding, and I am excited to make an hour long vlog strutting my stuff. I do not have foot fungi to show case, no socks, no blisters, well one blister.. but LOTS of shoes to show off in this vlog!
Including these moccasin gems.
Tell Siri to mark your calendar for August 15th. I already told my Siri… yesterday! I have found she has issues with the word “vlog” just a heads up.
i did the same thing the other day! except i didn't find shoes hiding. i found candy hiding. long story.
ReplyDeleteYAY! I know how much you love candy. Yesterday I was eating a fun dip, and it spilled everywhere. I almost cried at the loss of my candy :(
DeleteI'm very unpopular with my old iPhone 4 :( But Mike has a 4s and Suri. I've come home to him talking to her before and laughing like crazy. LOL. Oh suri, you are not allowed to be funnier than I am ;)
ReplyDeletehehe!
Oh gee, you're definitely not in the IN crowd! :) That is way to funny, that you caught Mike talking to her. I hope it was just jokes!!
DeleteDoes Siri really tell jokes or was that a joke? lol. Seriously, I don't know. I'm so not an apple person, and if that makes me unpopular, oh well! :) Angel just got an ipod touch that he needs for school (since when does grad school mean you need an ipod touch? I didn't believe it till he showed me the email from the college about tech requirements! Weird...)
ReplyDeleteSo now he's figuring out how to use that and the most amazing thing we've found so far is being able to skype with my family from the ipod. That was incredible to us. I think I'll stick with my sturdy 2008 laptop and my candybar phone though. It's not a sin to be behind on technology... :P
Siri really does tell jokes! She knows quite a few actually. That girl, always making me laugh. It's okay to not be an apple person.. I guess! I was raised on mac's and didn't learn to use PC's until high school, so they are just more in my comfort zone.That is way weird he is required to have an ipod touch! Good investment though :)
DeleteYou cracked me up! I love the way you write! Thanks for sharing and I am a new follower and visiting from the GFC blog hop!

Thanks Michelle! Thank you for stopping by! =)
DeleteI thoroughly enjoyed this post...probably because I can see myself doing the exact. same. thing. I'm so jealous, my iPhone 4 seems super lame now :(
ReplyDeleteha ha. This is the first iPhone have owned, so she really is pretty awesome in my book. I love my baby head siri!
Deletehaha omg i would totally do something like this :) just stoppin by from the GFC hop! can't wait to read more! your blog is super cute :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cait! I always find myself doing the weirdest things!
DeleteI so want Siri!! hahaha thanks for making me giggle :)
ReplyDeleteYou need her! She'd be like "Darlean, go rest, and take a bath!"
DeleteThe kid asks her about pooping in the potty and tells him there are no portable restrooms at his location.
ReplyDeletebahaha! Yes, Siri has way too many talents, like knowing where all the bathrooms in the world are!
DeleteHaha. When I first started reading, I thought you were going to say you made a Suri commercial. Now THAT would have been awesome! Did I just give you an idea??? Haha. This makes me wish I had Suri. I hear she's very smart. I love it that you ran to your closet when Jared came home.
ReplyDeleteThat would be really hilarious. You did give me a vlog idea, but first I really think I need to learn how to make my calendar so full that I could seem cool when I tell her to cancel my appointments for the day. Even if it's like 2pm go get the mail, I'd say Siri, can you move that to tomorrow at 4?
DeleteI still have the iPhone 3gs. Probably the only one in America with one. I'm jealous of your 4S and Suri...haha
ReplyDeleteThe shoes...my God!
Oh man... you are getting really lame! Not as lame as Chelsea with the blackberry though. I am actually impressed your 3gs has lasted you that long. I destroy my phones too fast, so I never get a vintage phone. Now I'm jealous!
DeleteThis was hilarious! New follower from the blog hop!

ha ha! Thanks Rachel! I am so glad you stopped by!
DeleteHad the biggest smile on my face reading this, you running to the closest made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteOh man, you made me realise I haven't used Siri in FOREVER! Even though she doesn't understand me half the time, still love her.
I seriously heard him pull up, and realized I'd been talking to my phone for over an hour, while our closet was in shambles, so I just took off running! ha ha.
DeleteSometimes I have to talk way slow for her. She could not understand September the other day.. that's an easy one!!
