I’ve moved my musings to funfundfunfzig.blogspot.com!

See ya there!

(I’m regularly on Twitter now too! @funfundfunfzig)

So I did a 5k run yesterday!

yay for accomplishments!

But anyways, while I was jogging down University Ave, I look over to some people cheering from the island in the middle of the street, and who do I see but Mr. Everywhere Guy!

I couldn’t believe it!

April 1, 2011, Google lauched Gmail Motion via their blog.

hilarious.

Max has been adopted!!!

Wah! I’m sad.
This is definitely the hardest one yet.

*tear.

….I want an orange cat next!!

HeyCraig is a new app that will notify you when something you want to buy has been listed on Craigslist.

…just when you thought Craigslist couldn’t get any better.

yay!

Last weekend I went on a hunt for an old phone.
…a cool one.

First stop was Value Village - no luck.

So I decided to go home. But first I would wander down the street, because there used to be some other thrift stores on Bloor West.

Turns out, I love Bloor West!

There are a bunch of unique vintage/indie shops.
I walked into one, and found an amazing old school bag (yay!). When I asked the shop keeper if she had any old phones she replied ‘no’, but then told me about a shoppe a block away: “Go inside and then downstairs and they’ll have a few down there.”
Success!

fantastic, right?!!

So of course, during this little photo-fest, Max couldn’t resist getting in on the action. I knew he’d pop in!

investigation:

what was that noise?

…what IS this?

Roar!

haha, he looks ferocious.

(and now I shall nonchalantly transition this into a post about Max….)

This cat is pretty adorable.
Sometimes he sleeps curled up in a little ball.
other times he’s just flailed out in these random positions..

Sleeping with his paws over his eyes! love it!

He’s been with me for about 1.5months now, and he’s still managing to do new weird things.
He’s the first cat I’ve had that chills out on the heater:

Yesterday he started drinking out of my water glass.
It’s half cute, half annoying.

This evening, I go into the washroom to find:

he cracks me up.

tadaaa:

I got a new phone yesterday.

I’m excited to finally get into the smartphone realm. …after having an iPhone I realized that I couldn’t go back to just a regular ‘phone to make phone calls’ phone.

Thankfully for Telus, I’m not a huge fan of doing tons of research for stuff like this (plus I figure all the cellphone providers are basically the same), so I wandered into a nearby Telus store (2 min walk from where I live!!) and proceeded to pick out a new phone.
I immediately decided against getting an iPhone (horrible battery. …and it seems like a fad that’s just getting out of control), and I didn’t want a BlackBerry either. (I have no real reason for disliking BlackBerry. ….I just think it’s silly, and a little behind in the time….though I suppose I should *probably* support Canadian. …hmm.)

So that left me with getting a phone using the Android OS. (yay!!! Anything Google is fine by me!)
I didn’t want to pay for the actual phone hardware, so I only had a few options.
One was a HTC phone, the other was the Motorola phone, which I ended up getting.
I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. It’s kinda fancy.

I have 14 days to return it. …it’s kinda awkward to use. and I may break it. …so we’ll see if I decide to keep it.
