The iPhone

Ever since I first tried a Mac computer, I hated Apple. The interface didn't work, there were program errors. The windows never maximised to fill the full screen. My list of frustrations went on and on. All the Mac lovers annoyed me because they were obviously brainwashed by Apple's marketing.

Lately, whenever I ask a simple question (e.g. "What's the weather going to be like today?" or "Can we take a shortcut to avoid this traffic?"), the only reply I get from Dan is "If we had an iPhone, we would know". I also get similar comments from Amelia, "Did you know, if you had an iPhone, it could tell you that?"

Dan has been saying for months, "I can get you an iPhone for Christmas" and "Wouldn't it be great to have an iPhone?" and "I'll get you an iPhone, I know you'll really like it". I don't want an iPhone! I hate Apple.

But maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't mind having one...

Facebook Frustrations

Hello girls,

I am feeling quite annoyed at facebook at the moment. Through some googling, I have found I am not the only one having problems with it...friends appear and disappear, sometimes my status updates won't post, I can't read messages in my inbox...and then I can. It's so temperamental. So. Annoying.

Or maybe I'm too addicted to facebook. But good news if you have an iPhone, I've found sometimes the facebook app works when the real facebook doesn't lol.

Nevertheless I hope they get it fixed sometime soon, otherwise it's Twitter for me!

The Scratch

Caitlyn likes cords and she can't keep away from the computer ones. I was always scared she'd pull the one connecting to the lamp and bring it crashing down.

When the lamp fell, Caitlyn wasn't anywhere near the computer. The irony. My huge LCD screen was left with a large scratch running down the middle. Panic overtook me cos replacing it was out of the question. I would have to accept it.

I didn't have many hopes in finding any home solutions on Google but I gave it a go anyway. The first result promised that some Vaseline would fix the problem. That sounded simple but I didn't have any at home. Scrolling down the page, someone recommended using a standard pencil eraser on the scratch. I decided I had nothing to lose and tried it. Magically, the scratch disappeared!!! Who knew the humble eraser could perform such miracles!

Lisa Mitchell

Does that name sound familiar to you?

If you watched Australian Idol a few years ago, you might remember this 16 year old girl:

You can imagine my surprise when I discovered that this was the same girl.



What is even more surprising that she is popular in Europe and people as far as France and Russia love her! Who would've thought someone from Australian Idol could make it big in Europe?

I am spamming you. Twitter question

Think of it as compensation for my absence :)

Do either of you guys use Twitter? If so, tell me your username! And what good is it? I'm not sure I see a point but I want to jump on the bandwagon.

More Eurovision...

APPARENTLY THIS MAN IS NOT GAY.



EDIT: I changed the version of the video to the one with thinly-veiled phallic symbolism.

ALIVE!

Hi girls. Believe it or not I'm alive! Sorry for the long absence, but I'm afraid I haven't done much of note lately. On the weekend I happened to watch The Notebook for the first time. It was shite, but I cried anyway. Is it true the main actor is now a furniture removalist? (because I'm not surprised)

I will try to regale you with tales of excitement soon :)
