after rewatching the music video for Dilemma[1], i’m reading the nokia phone scene as: she’s received a message from her “boo” inquiring her whereabouts as she pines after nelly, and is not in fact attempting to send a message to nelly. that the green shirt and white pantsed clad figure outside her window is indeed nelly, and not her alleged boo, is supported by the prior scene in which nelly, clad in same clothes, is seen grinding with kelly in the street.
this changes the narrative of the linked blog post entirely. kelly was sold as a bimbo trying to send a text via a spreadsheet app without internet connectivity, when the facts better support a narrative of her being sent a needy message by this unsatisfactory “boo” in the form of a spreadsheet attachment (what a dork) while she further cements her infatuation with nelly and his unbelievable cheekbones (and inexplicable cheek sticker).
if she’s the recipient of a message, and not the sender, how could the HYPERLINK= VBA function be relevant at all?
