Methods of selling out

"Ma, I think I need to spend that money I was saving for my phone."

"Spend it on what?"

"I don't know. I'm gonna be really bored this holidays, so I thought maybe I'd get another tank."

"No need la, just get some exercise and read. Don't you want to change your phone?"

"Well..."

Dad walks in and says "I just won a phone!"

Lulz. My dad JUST changed his phone on Thursday to a Nokia E75. Today he won a N82 (Ian's phone. Curious, Ian won his too). He prefers the Carl Zeiss lens on the N82, so he took that, leaving me with:


A 3 day old smartphone. I like my luck.

But my old Sony will be dearly missed... Even though I had to literally cut my way into the battery pack to get the SIM card out. (Funny story, I accidentally super glued the battery cover on a few weeks back)


Rest well Sweet Prince.

eww.

Anywhoosel. My Nokia is well... a Nokia. It's pretty Batman-like. Not KIDDING!
In the new Batman game, you have this device to hack other devices, and the way Batman holds it is exactly the way I hold this Nokia once the QWERTY keyboard is slid out.

Instead of reviewing the phone in a long, boring fashion, I'll break it down to good, bad and overall.

Good;
-The QWERTY keyboard makes messaging and surfing the net really high tech looking.
-It can read and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, etc, which will be useful later on in college.
-Free 4 Gigabytes of memory, yay!
-Solid, metal feel, unlike most plasticy Nokias
-Wireless LAN browsing, FINALLY
-Light sensor that mimics iPhone tech
-Impressive headphone quality with 3.5mm headphone jack

Bad;
-it's a Nokia, the menu is confusing, setup is tiring, prone to viral and physical failures later on
-Poor camera(as you'll see later on), but has some potential when used right, bad for candid shots
-Nokia-quality music on the loudspeaker
-the keys on the face of the phone are really hard to click
-The screen is pretty undersized for a slide phone


Overall;
-It lives up to it's overpriced(1500!) Nokia standards, usable functions but badly designed menus
Don't let me confuse you with science and tech. Here are some Nokia-camera pics. Get used to the quality =(


My new Russian tank. The KV2. According to Julian's book, one of these tanks were being shot at by an entire fleet German medium tanks, a few minutes later, the crew gave up. Not because their tank was destroyed, but because they had become deaf and disorientated. Seriously, the armor on this tank is thicker than that on the Tiger I.


Tiger II however is more heavily armored. Eat that you Ko(ssa)ck-sucking Russians.


this was the best pic I could get with the E75. It's a hollowed out dragonfly. Don't ask who did all the hollowing-out.


In sad news, my secondary dog, Juno(the bitch-mom of all those cute pups) is in a semi paralyzed state. We don't know what's wrong with her, both vets don't know what's wrong with her, God knows what's wrong with her. And yet, he's not telling.


Don't get too cocky, boy. We're only playing with you more because the other one's not moving.

Oh and Nicky's back. Yay! I miss my curly haired African kid.


Yuh, today's been good. I think. I'm not sure. Well it was better than yesterday, that's for sure.



With all this good fortune, I can't help but wonder if God really did make us.

If that's true, then this video best explains the unintelligent aspects of intelligent design.



Bet you loled.
