The Objects of My Desire

The Objects of My Desire

A few months ago I got a new phone, and I’m so incredibly in love with it.  It’s a HTC Desire android phone and I honestly don’t know what I would do without it.  It does everything for me, it’s my mp3 player, phone, camera, ereader, agenda… it’s my brain! Isn’t it pretty? My preciouuuuusssss… [...]

Blogging By Mobile

Blogging By Mobile

Was wondering if I could write a blog with my phone. Found a WP app on the Android market and decided to test it. Here goes nothing! Adding some random photo I took months ago to test the camera. No idea how it will format it.

XBox vs Playstation vs Wii

XBox vs Playstation vs Wii

Each year my husband and I each get our own gifts, but we also decide on one large combined gift that we share.  Either something we want for the house, an activity we’d like to try or something we really need that both of us will use and enjoy.  This year we have been undecided [...]

Spider Camera Holster

Spider Camera Holster

If you are a photographer of any kind, you probably understand the annoyance of carrying your camera on a strap around your neck.  At least if you are like me and you still have the nylon strap that came with your camera, those things are so scratchy.   I can imagine that after a certain amount [...]

Happy Easter-Birthday-Anniversary to Me!

Happy Easter-Birthday-Anniversary to Me!

I’ve always been really interested in photography but never knew anything about it.  I’ve tried looking some info up online but there is something about my brain that causes it to switch off when I get too much information at once.  I needed personal instruction and I never knew anyone here in NL who could [...]

RTFM

RTFM

Today I went to get a remote for my new phone so that I could use normal headphones, the ones that came with it are garbage.  It’s not like a remote you use for the TV but a thing that plugs into the phone that you can plug your headphones into and it has all [...]

Gadget Geek

Gadget Geek

I think anyone who knows me and my husband knows that we are major gadget geeks.  Rather than clothes and shoes, holidays and whatever else people usually spend their money on, we are always on the lookout for a new laptop, PDA, mobile phone, etc.   My working has really made this easier for us. This [...]

Acer – The Shit…. or Just Shit?

Right, so I decided that since I’m a working woman who has a pretty good chance of moving on to a permanent situation (according to my colleagues), I’ve decided to buy myself something shiney and new when I get paid.   I can pay bills and all that crap later, I want satisfaction… in the material [...]

Merry Christmas!

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is over already!  I spent ages counting the days until it got here, and now it’s passed.   Isn’t that always the way? It was sort of weird on Christmas Eve because it didn’t really seem like Christmas at all.   We ordered some Chinese food and I spent a while [...]

New Camera!

Back in January I was itching to get a new camera, but I couldn’t decide what kind I wanted.   I decided at the time to hold off until I knew for sure, as it’s something that I’d be using for a few years.   So for the last 10 months I’ve been looking at reviews and [...]

Decisions Decisions…

Aside from the feeling of independence, meeting people and getting out of the house, the biggest perk of working again is making money.   My husband and I decided that when my first paycheck comes in that I should buy myself something I really want.  Something we wouldn’t put the money on out otherwise but can [...]

…………………………. <– Check it out!

I have a PERIOD KEY! ……………………………………….. No more cutting and pasting! It’s wonderful! How do I have a new period key? It’s one of many new keys on my NEW LAPTOP! I know, this story just keeps getting better and better doesn’t it? It’s a Sony Vaio FJ Series and the things I love about [...]

Colors of Home

Yesterday I returned the Creative Camera and got the Logitech Camera back with a powered USB hub. The camera didn’t work. I spent most of the afternoon on the phone with the people from Logitech (Who were as useless as tits on a bull!) and with the makers of this laptop (Who were great!!) yet [...]

Herpes

I really need to get a new memory or start writing things down. Every day I see/hear/read/think things and think oh I must write about this in my blog. Of course once blog time comes around the memories of these things are nowhere to be found.Oh, Oh! I remember one!! Ok, I got another good [...]

Where I Am

Ever wonder where I sit when I type this? Well this is it! I took these pictures yesterday after Xander and I cleaned up. The livingroom used to look different and I was getting tired of it. We started out at like 9:30 moving the furniture around, throwing things away and figuring out what we [...]

My New Exilim

Today was awesome. It was the first day my mother was off work since we’ve been home and we went shopppinnnng! Xander got some new clothes, my mom got a really nice wine colored leather jacket and I got a digital camera! (Ok it’s Xander’s too but I’ll use it way more than he will!) [...]
