if i had a cool new toy i could just dl the book

[mousapelli]

now i have 2 water bottles of dead gnats and still no iphone. sadface D: apparently my options are put down $300 for one or wait until mid-november, neither of which I find terribly desirable. i just want a new toy like my cool friends D: D: D: actually something even seems to be up with AT&T's website so I can't even stare longingly at the iphone right now.

so i paid my credit card instead. that wasn't as fun as oogling iphones.

the tv just seriously put up an ad right this second about upgrading to an iphone. *cries* i want to but you won't let me! thanks also for that text message telling me to upgrade, AT&T. that's super classy of you.

I just finished reading Catching Fire, which is unfortunate because I haven't bought the third book yet, but that's probably best cause the other thing I haven't done is finish my FQF fic which I had to beg for an extension for like a tool because i made it up to 4k without any porn yet. I have to say though that the book was the best thing that happened today by a long shot.

oh well. done with training! Totally off tomorrow!

Why so much and why the long wait? I ended up buying a refurbished 3G (32 gigs) through the website, and it cost me like $100. It works great for me, but I don't play games or anything on it. I just surf a bit, check my mail, text occasionally, watch some youtube vids and stuff, and use it primarily as my iPod, which is why I got the 32gig one. The biggest downside was the not-so-great variety of cases, but I got the heavy duty otterbox case so when I drop it, nothing happens to it. :-P I figure I'll upgrade to the 5 when that eventually comes out.

Ugh, dead gnats, but I guess it's better than live ones! How goes the Doctor Who? Have you warmed to Ten at all?

that's all the website will pop up for me at this moment, but it's like half switched over to their new "better" site, so everything is messed up. it won't let me log in properly or anything today. i wouldn't care if i had a refurbished one if i could get one to turn up in a search and it would tell me what the actual cost of that would be with my ineligible for upgrade status. if i use google to search instead of dicking around with the site directly, i'm turning up refurbished 8gb 3gses.

idek. honestly i didn't feel the burning need to own an iphone or a smartphone of any kind until like everybody around me started having one. i still think me having the internet constantly is a terrible idea.

i'm halfway through season 3 and it's okay I guess. i really just can't get too attached because they keep switching out all the important people all the time. i understand that's how the franchise works, it just means that i'm probably not going to bond with it that deeply in the end. also david tennet is still like that guy down the hall in college who goes on crazy adventures in the middle of the night, which is fine I suppose, but when he tries to make the long-suffering i'm the last of the timelords face, i'm just like, god, what are you, 22? i think the daleks are the best part of the whole thing.

I said the same thing! What do I need an iPhone for? Granted, I'm not as beholden to it as some of my friends, but it's pretty neat to have, and now I don't have to carry an iPod AND a phone around, so just for that it's worth it. (My previous phone was a dinosaur!) I don't have a big data plan - I got the first one up from the basic nothing plan - but I've yet to come close to going over. I use wifi wherever I can because it's free, and I don't download things to my phone. I don't even make LJ posts and stuff either. I'll comment to posts occasionally, but I definitely don't use it in place of my computer.

Maybe the site will be up by the end of the week.

hahahaha! Matt Smith, who plays Eleven, is even younger, but somehow he manages to look like an old man in a young man's body, much more so than David. Still, I loved David and his glasses and his licky tongue. I loved Martha, but season three was my least favorite, except for Blink, which I love to pieces, and ironically, it's the Doctor-Companion lite episode. And John Simm, when you get to him, is pretty awesome (in that "OMG he's awesomely insane!" way), too. But yeah, David has this whole "Lonely God" thing going, and it gets a bit tiresome at times. Still, there are lots of fun adventures. And Donna is awesome! (And so is her grandfather!)

Daleks! The most fearsome creatures in the universe, and they have a toilet plunger for a right appendage, and an egg beater/mixer for the left. It still kills me! (Even though the mixer thingy can shoot death rays and the plunger can suck-squash you. :-P)

I have to try to remember the episode but there is an episode where 10 gets really dark about his powers and he tries to 'fix' things. It was a pretty intense episode.

Are you talking about Waters of Mars?

That's it!
