Perils of multi-tasking


Meet his morning's breakfast toast.

Burnt.

Yes.

Stating the obvious, lest the charcoal blackness elude your attention. 

*Sigh*

My high speed multi-tasking super power seems to be faltering of late. This unusual phenomenon has arisen, somewhat suspiciously, around the same time Hubby bought me an iPhone. Yes, the revolutionary gadget sent from heaven with its multitude of oh-so-amazing applications!

All hail the iPhone!! (burnt toast won't kill you)


After the burnt toast, and the school run, I brought Solomon for his very much overdue booster jab. FYI, Solomon is as (if not more) addicted to the phone apps as me. So here I discovered another iPhone virtue; I let Solomon play with my phone while the doctor stealthily stuck the needle in his butt. Guess what, he was so engrossed with his 'monkey pre-school' that he didn't make a sound! Good stuff eh?

Since we're on the topic of iPhones; My favouritest  game is 'Words with Friends', it's an application where you can play Scrabble online with friends or strangers. Yup, this was what I was playing when the toast was burning away! (Hey, it was frozen, so I thought it would need a wee bit more time in the toaster!)

Anyway, recently, I was appalled to discover that there are also apps which help you cheat in this game! You just key in your letters and they give you all the possible word combinations and even calculate the eventual points for you!


No wonder one of my random opponents came up with words like 'zouave' and 'pleuron'!! I mean seriously, who comes up with words like these off the tops of their heads? Unless you're an entomologist who also happens to be a military aficionado!! Nope... don't think so...

Anyway, I still beat that guy by 56 points in the end!! Nyahaha! Eat my shorts! :p
