The time is rapidly approaching when my phone has to give up the ghost and I get a new one. Ok, so it’s just a year old but falling behind the times in this era of technological advancement. It seems there’s a new phone out every day, all hot and desirable. The iPhone for example, Keefe’s going to get one. Paddy just got a new touch screen Samsung (Tocco, I think or something like it).

Choices choices… I think I like the iPhone, but seriously disappointed with the pathetic 2Megapixel camera on it. I like having a nice high MP camera on my phone, useful for when you’re with family for example. So I think that leaves the iPhone out. So what’s left? Anyone got any ideas?

Why is it that the first day of the Olympic has crappy sports on it? Gymnastics for god sake… I’ve seen it three times today for about 5 minutes each time and each time it was gymnastics!

After a long day in stifling heat, it was nice to drive home with the window wound down and arms outside in the breeze. It just got right into my t-shirt and cooled me down, just what I needed. It has been hot and humid here today, downright nasty really, strength-sapping to a point.

More of the same tomorrow, but with rain/thunderstorms promised in the afternoon. Hopefully it will clear away some of this humidity.

This is just one of those things that you probably notice, and think to yourself, ‘well that’s just stupid’, but never really give it much of a thought after that.

I had cause to apply for a credit card recently, for safety reasons when ordering online was my main reason. I got the form, and it asked for employer’s info, to make sure you can actually afford to pay them back I presume. There, it gave me probably 15 ‘boxes’ to input letters into for the employer name. Then, beneath it it gave me another 15 boxes for the address. The -address-. How on earth can you fit several lines of text into 15 boxes where each box is meant to hold a single letter? Insane…

So I put the town, let them figure it out. They want to play stupid games, no problem.
