I'm in love!
Well, okay, I'm supposed to be, but I'm referring to a more materialistic kind of love here.
I loves me my gadgets, but due to our huuuuuuge costs with learning to drive, acquiring a car, and paying for said car, I've had to rein that in a bit. Dammit. I really, really, really, really want a new laptop as the old one is very old and big and cumbersome, but that's simply not happening right now.
Still. I managed to buy a few minor things here when Maz needed a new battery for his phone. :D
[Cutting because courtesy.]First thing is this:
Just a cover for my phone. It was cheap, but looked surprisingly good in person. The SMELL, though. OMG, awful. It's down to bearable levels now after Maz tried washing it off for me, but I'm seriously considering hanging it outside for a day or two... Still, it's a great cover, and I love using it. My old cover is a sleeve where you have to push it in/pull it out, and it's actually scratched my phone a bit. :/ Plus you can't leave that one on when using it, you can with this one.
Second thing is not very different:
I just went for the cheapest thing, and it shows a little that it's not specifically for my phone only. I don't care, though. I was pleasantly surprised by the softness of the armband. I'd have expected something rather stiff and scratchy at that cost. Especially from the prices I'd been introduced to downtown! Now I just need one thing to have my perfect getup. Unfortunately that's the tricky thing for me: A good and comfortable sports bra that does NOT cost a fortune. -_- Might as well wish for a unicorn.
Then there's this:
It's bigger than it looks. (That's what he said? >_>) It was the cheapest Bluetooth Keyboard they had and it was mostly bought from the OMG I HATE TYPING ON THOSE SCREENS urge, plus because, um, I could. There's a minor downside to it that we never considered, though: It's not a Danish layout. For me it mostly doesn't matter, but it can be a bit of a nuisance at times when Æ, Ø and Å are missing. Plus, stuff's in all the wrong places. Oh well. Still. I can now type on fics and LJ updates when I'm away from home. :)
And finally:
ISN'T IT PRETTIFUL?
I don't blame you if you don't know what it is or why a little white brick is so exciting. XD It's for recharging things on the go. It holds exactly enough power to, in theory, recharge my phone four times. I'm not naïve enough to think it will, but when would I need that anyway? For most trips, once should be enough. Maz used it today for our ancient iPod Touch that he suddenly got the urge to bring with him downtown, and after using it, he finds it rather amazing as well. He especially likes that it shuts off by itself as soon as the gadget is fully charged. :D
This post was brought to you by my general lust for gadgets, and sponsored by Maz's need for a new phone battery. Most expensive battery ever. Unevenly sized pictures brought to you by my amateurish hot-linking. :)
