sorcyressIn totally sucky news, I seem to have broken my phone, possibly REALLY badly.
See, Friday night on my way to meet jere7my, I dropped the phone into an ice-puddle. I pulled it out and dried it off, and it was still working perfectly, so hey, no harm done.
About fifteen minutes later, I noticed that it wasn't turning on --it just repeated the first five seconds of the "on" animation over and over. I took out the battery again, and blew on it, and let it dry a little more and was quite thorough, and then put it all together again. It worked just fine.
Yesterday I pulled it out of my pocket a couple times to find it had turned itself off. Annoying, but not a huge problem --I would just turn it back on, and when it was sitting flat on my desk, it didn't turn off at all, so probably jostling was upsetting it.
All sounds fine so far, right?
Last night I plugged it in since it was down to one bar. At four in the morning, you don't really pay attention to things. So this morning, it took until breakfast to notice it was...still at one bar. Got home, plugged it in. No red charging light, no happy beep. Unplug. Replug. Unplug. Take apart, and call everyone I know looking for rice.
It's taken apart and sitting in rice now, where it will stay for...some length of time. But if my phone completely can't charge, than I have a HUGE problem. Solutions will be sorted out, it'll just take some time.
Also, where can one buy a phone that's fucking indestructible? Bonus points for looking like a tonka truck.
