IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII love my new phooooooooooooooooone!
B & I both got new cellular devices Monday... both of our Droid 2's were getting unbearably buggy, and mine barely let me type more than two words in any program before freezing up my keyboard--both physical and on-screen. So now he has a Nexus and I have a Droid 4. 4GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! :) So crazeh fast. We even got pretty amazing prices on them due to the fiasco we had with Verizon last fall. Should've been free if I had my way, but still.
I have named my phone Giles--never named a phone before, but the giddiness over 4G had me reaching for a "G" name, and after it occurred to me, it didn't stop being perfect. Smart guy, smart phone... Faith always called him "G"... I tossed a picture of Anthony Stewart-Head up as my wallpaper, so it feels like he's patiently waiting for me to request knowledge of him when I look at my home screen. Oh, geeky joy.
V-day was lurvely the other week--had a great dinner at the homestead with Chen & Alicia, which I hope we turn into a tradition. I finally saw Love, Actually, and I exposed the two of them to Dr. Horrible (turned it on while I cooked dinner, with the justification of "It's a love story!"). Last weekend they called us out of the blue and invited us to drive to the Mega Hustler store with them, to go strap-on shopping. And seriously, how do you turn something like THAT down?
They're my favorite couple.
Other'n that... yup. This year has been boring so far, but it's my annual recouperating period. Financially, emotionally, psychologically. This phone is the biggest extravagance I've allowed myself in a while.
I test drove a whiskey cupcake recipe in preparation for Brian's birthday next month. NOM. Chocolatey and rich, but you can still pinpoint the whiskey, BUT it doesn't make you gag as if you, say, drank it. I have a whiskey buttercream frosting recipe I plan to put atop them on the actual event. And a mega pan of shepherd's pie. That should observe a St. Patrick's Day birthday nicely--festive, as well as good and starchy, which we will need seeing as his birthday falls on a Saturday this year, and he plans on drinking from morning til... err, probably next morning.
