[11:29] EK: hey
[11:29] me: hiya =)
[11:29] EK: i'm up all night, packing boxes and watching election results
[11:30] me: 10:30 is not "all night"
[11:30] me: which election?

[11:32] me: American cellphoen providers suck ass.
[11:32] EK: what did you expect? it's an american cell phone
[11:32] me: i remember you tellin gme about that
[11:32] EK: i didn't even know it worked that way in other countries
[11:33] me: you said something like he was either a genius or he's wrecked his carreer right?
[11:33] me: well if you take out the battery in back of your phone you'll see a small flat indentation the size of a man's thumbnail. that's where teh SIm card goes
[11:33] me: determines what network you can connect to
[11:33] EK: well, the margin was narrow enough that he wouldn't even have lost hte primary if he hadn't announced he'd run as an indy
[11:34] me: according to my sis, in Singapore people switch SIM cards all the time to save money
[11:34] me: whereas in the US, they have us bound to these ball-and-chain 2y ear contracts so mst americans don't even know what a sim card is
[11:34] EK: i didn't until you told me
[11:35] me: if i was rich i'd f***ing sue them for selling me a deliberately damaged phone
[11:35] me: it'll happen some day
