I am not very technologically knowledgeable. Maybe it's my age and that I didn't grow up with using it intuitively like my kids, maybe it's just how my brain works. But in general I know how to use it, but not any of the deeper how it works, how to muck about with the coding or anything like that. Between a lack of money and desire I don't tend to have the newest tech or even upgrade what I have that often. I have an ancient desktop, a 4 or 5 yr old laptop and an ipod touch 4. No tablet. No smart phone. (No cellphone of any kind, actually.)

While there are a number of games I play on my ipod, its primary use is for checking my mail and the weather, some googling and, most importantly, an ereader, because my brain is stupid and I have trouble shutting it off so I wind up reading old familiar fanfics to try to soothe it before I can fall asleep.

Of late a few of my apps were hanging and not working so I updated my ipod last night which turned out to be a HUGE mistake. Now nearly everything will either not load or crash within a minute of loading. *sigh* Which means I'll be spending most of the afternoon trying to figure out how to either undo the update or.. I don't even know.

Ugh. Technology.

This is one of the few times I am really tempted to use that mostly annoying 'feels' phrase "I can't" because I just do not know how to express my disbelief and hysterical response to this picture:



That is Mitt Romney, in his Netflix documentary, ironing the sleeve of his shirt WHILE WEARING IT before heading out to the White House Correspondents dinner during his campaign for presidency. Apparently he said "Ow" a lot as he did it.

(I haven't watched the movie, I have no desire to watch the movie, but after seeing the screencap on tumblr I googled about and found EW's review of the documentary and they mentioned the scene.)

This is the man considered one of the two best candidates for the presidency of the United States of America. And he is ironing a shirt while wearing it. I just have no words.....
