Google and T-Mobile released something interesting today. Someone at plurk posted up a link to the Google press conference in New York, and I was pretty curious. I have never heard of their so called “android software” or the fact that they’ve teamed up with T-Mobile to release their new phone, the T-Mobile G1. So I decided to watch the press conference and see what the phone looked like. I have to say, it actually caught my attention. Not many phones catch my attention since I have everything I want with my iPhone. However, lately I’ve been looking into different phone models because it seems as though my iPhone is about to give out. The pixels on the screen are slowly dying. I’ve been researching models to see what phone I should switch to once it does go kaput. The Blackberry Bold was at the top of my list, but it’s not available in the U.S. Actually, the Blackberry Bold was the only one on my list! So now I have the T-Mobile G1 to research. If it’s got everything that I want in a phone (and it seems like it does), then that might just be the next phone I get. The price isn’t too bad, either. It’s only $179 with a two-year contract. I’m not sure how much it is without one. I’ve always liked T-Mobile and now they have a phone that I consider to be similar to the iPhone. Obviously it doesn’t have iTunes or anything like that, but I hardly use my phone to listen to music. It’s what I have an iPod for (or had…I might have lost it, but that’s an entirely different story). I don’t know…it’s pretty intriguing. In other news, I finally updated my Wordpress yesterday. I know I’ve done it many times, but I always get a little nervous. With my luck, something will go wrong and cause me to lose all of my files. I must have backed up my database in about five different locations. Oh em gee! Last night was the season premiere of Heroes! I’d been looking forward to the third season since last year and I was definitely not disappointed! I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, so I won’t divulge any details (even though I’m dying to). If you did miss it, you can watch the two-hour special online. It was amazing, though! Heroes is pretty much the only show that still throws me for a loop occasionally. I can usually predict what’s going to happen in a movie or television show (most are so predictable these days), but Heroes kinda throws me off. My husband probably loves the show even more for that reason. He gets so annoyed when I make predictions (and they come true).
Oh, the dryer is done. Let’s see how the clothes come out now that I’ve cleaned out the vent (somewhat)!
I’ve been incredibly busy with this whole moving-to-Virginia thing, and it’s been difficult in getting online to update here. However, I finally made myself sit down and upload the photos of Rilla’s surprise gift, which I won.
I seriously was thinking it was going to be something quite inappropriate and embarrassing, which I would have loved, but the monkey is so adorable! And the pig! I was surprised to see the pig as well, and what’s even cuter about it is that it makes pig noises when you click that button on top. It also gives off a super bright blinding light….which I love to point at people!
Rilla, thanks for the cute gift, I absolutely love it! I have the pig on my keychain now and I like to abuse the light it has. Honestly, this may be the last update for a very, very, very long time. I’m going to be busy packing this week, and then Rob and I will be leaving for Virginia either Wednesday or Thursday. I definitely won’t have internet connection for a while, but I’ll try and keep updating my twitter and you may see me around Plurk.

But it was all for nothing because the upgrade went smoothly. Now all I have to do is wait a few days, weeks tops, for a newer version to come out. It never fails. 
It’s been taking me all day to write this entry (I leave and come back to it eventually) and I just finished taking out massive amounts of lint from our dryer. 
No wonder the dryer wasn’t working properly. It would take about two hours to dry a single load. That’s a freakin’ long time! I’m willing to bet the previous renters never even bothered to remove the lint. At all. I’m going to have to go and put in a request to get it looked at. I took out this much of lint, but there was still a whole bunch clogging up the vent. That’s got to be a fire hazard of sorts.

So, without further ado, here it is!! My sweet monkey (which I have named Jack) and my cute little pig (whose name is Pinkie)! 
Jack is currently guarding my computer, although it will have to be packed away soon. I might keep him in the kitchen when I get to Virginia, so he can watch me cook.
