slytherincess and aome, I took the typing test but the "paste it" code didn't manifest properly in Firefox, so here's my info:
I wish someone had a typing test for the sidekick, which, as an update to my posts about the Sprint and t-mobile HTC devices, I've decided to keep (although the screen is getting a little wiggy so I may have to upgrade to the LX after the holidays). The HTC I was using is sold as the Wing by tmobile and the Mogul by Sprint and it just didn't work as well for me as the sidekick does - I think it's the sidekick keyboard that keeps me around, as well as a realisation that since I have the broadband card for my mini-laptop, I don't really need to be able to access all my documents, for example, on my handheld - good email and web browsing and IM-ing is a lot more important to me than, say, writing Excel docs. I do wish there was a facebook app for the Sidekick, rather than just the myspace one, and I'd definitely appreciate an LJ app that would allow me to load in my flist to some high skip= number, even if it was just in Mobile form, but the web browser isn't bad and I think my hands are just used to it. So yeah, sidekick stability for me.
Terrifying experience last night in the kitchen - I came down to put a bowl away, and there was a mouse in the bread bowl - that's where we keep challah and bagels in zip-lock bags. The evil thing ate through the baggie and was fully enclosed within a challah and I am so proud of myself that I didn't wake children with my screams. About 25 years ago, my mom saw a mouse run across the kitchen floor - we were upstairs with my dad and Grandma - and screamed so loudly that my grandmother shouted at my dad to go down because "they're killing her!" She thought someone had broken into the house, my mom was yelling so loudly - but of course, it was just a mouse. Yesterday I let the little guy run off, then trashed the bread and everything else in the bowl, but today, the exterminator will be called. Oh yes, he will be. Sorry, little mice - but you're not as Clever as the rat in Ratatouille.
I know I still haven't blogged about Monday's Heroes ( so now, I will! )so if you have any recs for "missing scenes" fics from these recent eps, please let me know!
As re the newly announce Doctor Who spoilers, I could write an essay about the whole thing, but I'd end up repeatinglongtimegone, so instead I'll just say that I agree with about 99% of what she wrote here, which obviously contains spoilers for Doctor Who S4. Read At Your Own Risk. Hm, maybe next summer, I'll re-cut the vid I did for Modern Girl...
Last chance to request a vid for me to make! I'll make a poll on it tomorrow - there've been some amazing requests so far - and I'm going to add two of my own bunnies into the poll, too. My FiL is coming into town tomorrow night which means I'll have time to vid over the weekend, which I normally never do! Yay!
Meep! Long post! Off to the gym where I will treadmill to songs from Enchanted and Legally Blonde: The Musical. It's an interesting mix.
