New On My Wish List

 

wow, these are the hottest things ever, so much so that this post is just going up like this with no proper capitalization or punctuation or anything, and i wouldnt be surprised if it has a couple of grammatical errors 

I Don't Get it!

Say Cheee....What?

As you can all see from the title of my blog... I am downright puzzled. About what?

Well to start from the beginning, I was browsing Facebook like any other day, and I stumbled onto Jon from TechWaffle's status update about not liking Symbian. So I thought, "Oh, that's interesting, let me google it!" I have had a Nokia in the past, and I was just curious as to what it is. At first I thought it was pretty interesting, and their homepage was nicely designed, I love the whole combining real life photography/videos with illustration thing. However,  when I started to watch Nokia's promotional videos as well as some reviews on the N8, I got somewhat confused, and I just hd to share my confusion or maybe someone can tell me if I'm missing a major point here.

First of all, one of the first things I saw being reviewed was the ability to change the wallpaper to any photos you like or have on your phone. Self explanatory, but HUH?! How on earth is that an innovation, so much that they even have to review it? Is it not, by this day an age expected  that you can change your wallpaper? Second of all, when they talked about the customizable homescreen, they were saying it like WOW CUSTOMIZABLE HOMESCREEN NOW AVAILABLE! Have people stuck their head in a hole and not come out in a while, because this is not really considered an innovation, at least I would not think so. As well, the whole wow-factor of widgets, and how the reviewer just said that users are no longer able to just add widgets, they can now rearrange it!!!

Although, to give it a benefit of a doubt, I did stop watching the YouTube review after around three minutes, but if there is anyone out there that actually watched the whole thing, maybe you can prove me wrong by telling me there was something actually interesting to watch.

The only thing I thought was interesting, was the ability for transparency amongst their "layers" and how different applications can appear on the screen at the same time, even through conference calls. But then again, why would you (not on a testing its limits sense) use video conferencing, watch a soccer game, and want your music playlist visible at the same time?

Seriously...

Oh, and on a sidenote, if anyone wants to actually watch the review I was referencing to:

Finally!!

Finally got my new phone. What. Relief this has been. More happy stuff later.

A Quote from Carly Cristman

I was just watching my subscriptions from youtube, when I stumbled upon Carly Cristman's blazer style video. She had an amazing quote I'd like to share from her:

"Fashion may not be able to change your life, but it can change your outlook on life."

Amazing. That's it for now... or as Carly says: C'est fini! :)

Twouble with Twitters: SuperNews!

This is awesome. I should start watching the other episodes too. :)

First week of class

The first week of class is totally kicking my butt.. already!  Not because of the workload, not yet, but I still have no idea what I'm going to be doing about my capstone project yet! This is really bothering me, and causing me to worry, because usually I'm full of ideas as to what to do for my next project. Maybe this summer really wore me out, or I was slacking off a tad too much. Either way, I better come up with something soon. How do I find a project I can take on, and more importanly, tolerate for a full two semesters when my passion for fashion (yes, sounds corny) is wearing thin? Right now, I'm thinking fashion meets tech... somehow... Either I'm going to wait out on the starting of this semester's new media project, or start on my blogging comic. What's keeping me from starting is the possiblity of incorporating the comics into the new media class. That way, I can do something I'm passionate about for class. I'm still sitting on the fence about it.


On a lighter note, only weeks (but I like to think of it as days) until I get my new phone! Yeh yeh! I can't wait! Being the nerd that I am, I already have a list of apps I want to try out and download on the new phone, as thank goodness I will no longer be stuck with my crapberry! First time on an android phone, and I am uberly excited! I feel like I should type this entire last part in caps and end the sentences in multiple exclaimation marks. Ha Ha. Anyways, I'm just hoping the Evo 4G does not come out in GSM right after I get my desire, or I will be majorly pissed off.

That's it for now. More ranting and ravin' laterrrrrz! :)
(I feel like I should say something cool like 'Peace out' or 'C'est fini' like those youtube vloggers, but I have a feeling people will roll their eyes at it so I'll leave this until I find a creative way to say bye.)

Finding Reality Television

It's one of those times where I find that I feel like I've been there and done that for everything I possibly want to do in this city. How is it that it's always so interesting on television?  So I was just browsing though MTV online, just to see if The Hills miraculously came back on air, or if there is a new episode of The City up. Apparently not, and I definitely cannot stomach Jersey Shore despite of its popularity. ( I mean, common, even the trailers and previews made me feel sick!) That's when I stumbled upon this show called Downtown Girls. Before this, I have never even heard of this show, and it's definitely surprising since I am a online-television-show-watching-nonstop-until-no-episodes-left-junkie. From what I get so far from this show, it's a show revolving around this blogger that works for Glamour Magazine. I have got to say, aside from my usual subscription of Flare Magazine, and the temptation of Cosmopolitan, Glamour is definitely one of the next magazines on the list. Having said this, I decided to give this show a try.

This series is definitely going to be one of my favorites! The first episode was funnier than I expected and I almost choked up on my coffee from their nonchalant girl chatter and "life"'s (I'm not that delusional to think that it really is reality!) curve-balls that are thrown at them. The invention of "ex-swapping" was purely amusing, and Victoria's version of the "Hump Day" special made my jaw drop, then rolling around on the floor with laughter (ROFL much?) I can't wait until I get my hands on the next episode.

For now however, I'm going to try out that new shower bomb I got from Lush... EXCIITTTEDD!
