101 - Is there an iPhone in my future? Plus Movie Reviews!

I really like the iPod Touch. I've wanted one since the first hit the market, but held off up until a couple of weeks ago, when I thought I had lost my friend's sister's Nano that I've been using this year (which I later found in my pants pocket in the laundry). I bought it with the idea that, if I really did like the device, I would return it and get an iPhone 4 once my cell contract expires this September. Supposedly, it has a really nice screen, though my left-handedness might interfere with you know, calls. Interestingly, I find the iPod (or smart devices in general) much better e-social devices than the computer. Where have I been all this time? I'm on MSN, Facebook, Twitter, and all these social tools much more, and reading what other people update. But I really do need a camera and internet connectivity - hence iPhone upgrading... They better be readily available in 2 months. Or maybe I'll find some other smart phone between now and then. Movie Nights, Zi...

068 - Angus burgers Look Kinda Gross When Photographed Half-Eaten

Usage Stats for the last month: Text message sent: 1007 Picture messages sent: 64 Internet bandwidth use (60GB max): 60.95GB I think the bill is available tomorrow, so I'll get more details. It's just a good thing I have MY5 because that many texts and picmessages could otherwise be very expensive. Also, I should be in class right now, but I kinda slept in. Photos: inspiring graffiti, waiting for Prashanta, bus, wine, lights, burger.

047 - Wind Gods and Ringtunes

October is here, and my room is freezing cold. I really think I need to reinsulate the window area, and possibly get a new window. My plan is to go, hire the worst guy possible, then complain to Mike Holmes. In response, he'll come here, ask how on earth someone whose job was to insulate a wall and replace a window used 17 junction boxes in the process. After a few words like "unbelievable", he'll fix it for me, add a shiny new seat and electrical surge protector, and proclaim that he "love his job". Simple, no? In other news, I've dusted off my Wii. It's sad how I've become accustomed to not having the time to play such fandangled devices. In a rare spurt of energy, I went and beat Lostwinds, a WiiWare game that I bought back in May and stoppe dplaying after all of 41 minutes. It is a great little game, one that I'd love to have seen more of (seeing as I beat it after another 3 hours). Hoping to continue the trend of actually playing the gam...

012 - Three Point Two

I haven't blogged in some time, but I have a really good reason: Maple Story. A friend of mine suggested I check it out. Not having much else to do, I did. Maple story is what the enthusiast would call an MMORPG, an adventure game where people from all over play together online. The charming thing about it is that it's bright and colourful, and in 2D. It's simple but deep... and that's what caught me about it. Here I am, taking on a King Slime all by myself. And that's also what has push me back into reality. Loneliness. The odd here is that I typically don't enjoy playing adventure games with other people, but with Maple Story comes a strange but strong sense of community play. Aside from the rare event when I'd be partied up with someone, I was never really part of anything. Yeah I got into guilds early on, but I was never a high enough level for that to mean much. So instead of futilely leveling to no end (or trying to recruit friends to play), it's p...

010 - Men on a Hot Tin Roof

Oh, the Game Boy Printer. You gotta love technology that is so ahead of its time that it's practically useless. Somehow, it got added to the Doctor Who TARDIS design. And I love it. There's been talk about that production wrapping up for the summer seeing that time is fairly constrained. I guess that means that I'm going to have to burn all of my lovely behind-the-scenes stuff and tuck it away somewhere until then. It surely is pretty amazing how quickly time can fly if given the opportunity. Speaking of technology, it's the time to be cell phone shopping. Because I'm more into looking at those little miracles of portability, I've noticed that the newest lines of phones are pretty terrible. Razrs (well, Motorola's whole line), sliding phones, double-sided phones... they're all ugly. No one phone is a stand out for me. The exception to this rule is the Sony Ericsson line of things. And I don't know if I'm necessarily attracted to them rather than ...
