2017

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to you from the year 2017. The month is May, the weather is fresh and I can confirm that nothing has changed. I still procrastinate, the film Willow is still a work of both madness and genius and from this point in the future, Val Kilma still looks way too fit to be himself in this film.

So, what?! Well, you remember how Blackberry went all crapberry and broke down on us all...I felt like I'd been dumped and the damn phone just wouldn't take my tweets of WHY??! God damn it, WHY?! Well, turns out that somewhere in that process my Blackberry decided to deal with the breakdown by fast forwarding to the year 2017, as if that would change something. I mean Blackberry, if we're going to travel into the future together can we fast forward to a time when I do have money, I'm not a waitress and I don't pass my days drinking beer and watching old 80's movies? Alright, I get your point...that means never.

So off I toddle to T-Mobile and stand there being all 'woman' and useless with my phone. NO. I didn't think to do a reboot Mr T-Mobile service man, I sort of did think it would just work. Imagine my smug smile as his reboot reveals that my phone does not want to work. Facebook tells us we are looking back into the year 2010 but upon further investigation the phone is in 2017 and of course I can't send emails on May 22nd 2017 because I'm not there yet. I wonder if those emails will send themselves and confuse us all five years from now? But despite him resetting my phone and getting it working I am currently enjoying half my text conversations in 2011 and the other half in 2017. So as I have this window into the future I thought I'd let us all know how it looks five years from now.

So..............................

Well the sun hasn't blown up yet and we're not covered by ice. So that's a relief. As far as I can tell, unless there's new fangled apps sitting in my Blackberry world, our social network lives continue to exist via Facebook and Twitter and London buses appear to be as unreliable as ever. So nothing to worry about really.

And I wasn't sure whether to take the T-Mobile man's parting comment of 'I hope not' to my 'See you soon' personally or not?
