Feeling embarrassed with your “old” 3G iPhone because you can’t shoot videos? Well you can stop feeling embarrassed now with iVideoCamera! Who needs the iPhone 3GS now?! Instead of shelling out another hundred or so, we can be just as cool as the 3GS iPhone users for less than a dollar! Granted, the video resolution won’t be as great as the built in video camera on the 3GS, but it will do for less than a dollar! I repeat – LESS THAN A DOLLAR! You can even upload the videos to Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and so forth straight from the iVideoCamera app itself. Now I can annoy everyone with movies of “see-food” in my mouth with the click of a button!
Of course, if an iPhone 4.0 rolls around and the features blow my mind….. well…….
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a credit card device on a vending machine. We’re constantly in the future! Want to donate money? Sure, just text a simple number. Want a cold, satisfying soda, but you don’t have cash? Just swipe that plastic baby!
Thursday sat on a wall
Thursday had a great fall
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men
Couldn’t put Thursday together again
BECAUSE IT’S FRIDAY!
Or at least in a few hours it is. Friday totally played games with me all week! So close, yet so far away. But at last, Friday is about to make a presence once again! Even though the week crawled like the slowest turtle in the world, I’m really content with how the week turned out. For the most part, it was sunny and the temperature actually crawled up to a whopping 50 degrees!
I started off the week by seeing the movie Avatar. Everyone has been raving about Avatar, and honestly, I had no clue what it was even about. I wasn’t even going to go, but I thought why the heck not?! I’m glad I went, because it was awesome! My favorite quote from the movie was, “All energy is borrowed.” In just four simple words, you can’t say it any better than that. If you haven’t seen it yet, go!
For food this week, I’ve had delicious crab enchiladas that I really just died and went to heaven for. Who knew this area had some good Mexican?! So glad El Mariachi exists – check it out! I also had the biggest black bean burger that made lots of squishing sounds. None of that freezer crap.
After hours of practice, I now finally understand how to crochet three different ways, and got started on crocheting a scarf. Anyone want me to crochet some underwear?
And get this – this is the real kicker – most drivers were incredibly nice all week! Not once did I feel inclined to smile all fake-sugary and give anyone the middle finger. I was with a friend trying to get into the carpool lane on the freeway. None of the drivers tried to pull an ego trip to prevent me from crossing over to the far left carpool lane. What? Is this really the Washington DC area or am I just dreaming? WOW! Totally makes my week!
Here’s a text conversation between me and my Florida friend who is surrounded by palm trees and sunshine:
Me: I got my iPhone gloves! Whoo!
Joe: Sweet! What gloves?
Me: Echo touch.
Joe: Nice. What are they?
Me: Gloves, duh!
Joe: I still don’t understand.
Me: *silent*
Joe: Gloves with the iPhone built in? I don’t understand.
Me: Jowey, up here in the north, it’s too cold to take off your gloves to use the iPhone. But we do it anyway for reasons unknown and our fingers become butt cold. So there are gloves that we can use with special lining at the thumb and index fingertips that allow us to use the iPhone with gloves on. ZOMG RIGHT? MAGIC.
Joe: So like, really thin pantyhose gloves?
While the gloves are definitely warm, no sparks flew between us. Turns out I can only use the iPhone with my index fingers. The thumb part of the gloves is too long, so the special lining isn’t in the right place for me to type using my thumbs. Was it worth the $30 for me? Well, considering how addicted I am to Words for Friends, probably! Also it helps to be able to text people back if I am running late or navigate the iPhone GPS and not have to expose my hands to the brutal cold air. They’re also warmer than my $5 cotton gloves! I might exchange them for a smaller size to see if that solves the thumb problem, but we’ll see.
Verdict: only 50% doable because of the thumbs.
