Phones and stuff

[linaewen]

Last week it was a new laptop computer, this week, it was a new cell phone.  And not an imaginary phone, either, lol!  We had a "new after two" phone offer, and we finally decided what we wanted to get in a new phone, and it arrived yesterday by FedEx.

Interestingly enough, the cell phone had a much higher learning curve than the computer!  The DH really wanted something fancier in a phone than we had before -- once he decided that yes, he was willing to pay for another two year contract -- so we went with one of these that has the mp3 player in it as well as a phone.  I secretly would have liked a different style of phone, but this one seems pretty nice.  We wore down the battery in one day, trying to figure everything out!  DH has the music features figured out, I have the text messaging and talking features figured out.  Does that tell you something about us?  ;-)  I haven't quite figured out how to call Gondor yet, I suppose that would use up all our minutes, alas!

Not much else has gotten done around here except playing with new technology, so tomorrow will HAVE to be a no computer day, so that we can catch up with ourselves and  with some of those things that are important in our lives, but which keep going unnoticed because of the brightness of our computer screen.  ;-)

In the meantime, I think I'll see if I can figure out how to upload some "Boromir" tunes to the cell phone!

My work is done. ;-)

I am always looking for an excuse to bring out that little .gif file, hehe! Here's an even better one:

*snort!* Now that one was a new one for me!

All wonderful! I shared these with a friend of mine who'd never seen them... and I'm proud to say that she is probably still gasping laughing!

tehe! We're like moths to the ambient LCD glow.

Phones are ridiculously complex! They come with a whole book of instructions, but unlike most things that come with a book, you actually have to read the thing, lol. I am sure I am not using all the features on my phone because I have forgotten half of them, lol.

The worst thing is, the instruction book doesn't really say anything about what I need to know, so it's trial and error for the most part. But that's fun, too. ;-)

I just love that icon! Congrats on all your new acquisitions!

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

And I love that icon! Makes me want to run right out and watch National Treasure, lol!

New gadgets are fun, but it's always nice when they stop being new and start being ordinary tools. ;-)

LOL about calling Gondor, Lin! Have fun with your new toys. Boromir tunes? What's your Boromir playlist, Lin?

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

I don't actually have a Boromir playlist, though I should. I'll have to make one. If you have any suggestions for it, let me know!

[maidoforange.livejournal.com]

Well, Mo Ghile Mear (Our Hero) by Sting and the Chieftains comes to mind.

I don't know why, but it took me at least a time and a half through watching your animation to laugh, but when I did it was worth it!

Congrats on the new toys, and good luck turning them off. :)

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the hardest part about new gadgets, the turning off part. We'll see how it goes tomorrow with the no computer day.

*feels withdrawal beginning*

Best icon ever!
