Me vs. The Hot Chocolate Machine

For awhile now I have battled this all in one coffee/hot chocolate machine. I really dislike coffee but I do like hot chocolate. Plus there's nothing better than that old fashioned chocolatey goodness mom used to make, now automatized by a heartless machine.

Surprisingly, I found a picture.
This is pretty much the exact bastard machine.
Notice what appears to be a small human skull on top of it
(possibly of a child).
The machine started the battle by refusing to open up it's plastic door after it poured my drink. A motor is supposed to pull the door back when it is done pouring but it was stuck shut. I ended up having to break the thing open to get my drink. My breaking of the door actually caused the thing to be shut down awhile for repairs. After it was repaired I went back to get some more delicious hot whipped chocolate.

One day I go to the machine, put in my 50 cents and select my hot chocolate. As I watch the machine buzz I look down at where my cup is supposed to be. Something was wrong though, the machine spit out the cup upside down. So, not wanting to waste my 50 cents I quickly dart my hand into the machine to try and flip the cup. Unfortunatly there are metal prongs holding the cup still and while I am fighting that the scalding liquid starts raining down on my hands. I jab my hands at the cup to grab and flip it, making slight yelps of pain. Eventually I manage to flip the cup but by that time it had already poured the chocolate and started the dash of water or milk or whatever it uses. I ended up with an inch of hot water and a burnt hand.

Today I go back to the machine and select the usual. Everything is looking good and I notice the door is automated again by the motor. The cup comes out right side up and it pours the hot chocolate to the brim. But, when it finishes the door starts opening and begins doing quick motions back and forth like its jammed on something. It is tempting me to reach in. I reach in trying to hold the door back and grab my cup at the same time but as I get hold of the cup the door slides back, knocks my hand, and since its filled to the brim, spills a good amount of burning hot chocolate onto my hands.

If I had to put a score to it, I would say it is winning by a small margine. I do kick it often but it does not feel pain so that doesn't really count. When I kick it I usually just get weird looks from other people anyway.

T-Mobile Ridiculousness.

I call up Tmobile to try and avoid going through Amazon and this is the plan they come up with. I have to order the phone from Amazon with a new service plan from Amazon (somehow tmobile and amazon don't talk to eachother easily). Activate the phone and get a new number. Deactivate my current plan and get my current number switched in to that new number. They spent awhile trying to convince me I could not keep my old number but eventually they gave in and told me the truth, bastards. I don't see what the hassle is, I want the exact same plan and account, just a new phone provided by Amazon. This is the phone I'm getting. Pretty much the same as my old phone except different shape.

Anyway, while I was writing this I was making some popcorn downstairs the air popped way with this popcorn popper I got for christmas. I went upstairs and left it on while it was popping so it would melt the butter in the little dish (everytime I put it in the microwave I think the air pockets cause huge explosions). I notice after writing the tmobile stuff that I can't hear the popcorn popper anymore. I go downstairs and part of the cheap thing melted and it won't turn on anymore. I think some of the melted plastic fell into my popcorn too because this is tasting a little weird. Oh well.

Hmm.

I thought I made a post late last night about digging out my car from the snow but it seems to have disappeared. I think it might have been a dream. That's odd. Well I don't fell like retelling it.

Yep.

Something I find cool is when it's really quiet out because of all the snow, walking in the early morning pretty much by yourself going to work or whatever, and a car drives by slowly playing a good song. It gradually fades off but you hear enough of the song to remember it and gets it in your head.

Anyway...
