So dependent…

21 August, 2010 (22:34) | technology | By: Gina

Friday afternoon, our internet and landline went out.  The phone really wasn’t a big deal since Evan and I both have cell phones (sort of, EVAN), but not having internet access turned out to be much worse than I realized.  I was unable to order Uday’s baby stuff online, I couldn’t look up stuff on [...]

Pens pens pens…

Now that I have all these super awesome pens, it makes me sad that I don’t have much of an opportunity to use them.  There’s so little writing at work besides notes to self, and I don’t have much that I need to handwrite at home either. I need things to write!

Super cool new pen!

Last time I placed an order on JetPens.com, I really wanted this glass pen I found that is dipped in ink.  Sadly for me, the color pen I wanted was out of stock…until this week!  So the pen and some blue in were ordered, and voila! So…what the pen actually looks like: And what I [...]

I forgot to mention something awesome yesterday…

In all my excitement about Futurama and Rock Band, I forgot to point out something tiny and wonderfully nerdy.  See, your address bar up there, next to where you typed in my blog’s name?  Evan made a tiny blue bean for me!   You can even see arms, legs, feet, and a smiley face if [...]

New pens!

12 January, 2010 (16:10) | technology | By: Gina

Ajla was short call yesterday and while she was trying to check out to Erin and me, she got caught up in a phone conversation and I think must’ve overheard us admiring her pen and her handwriting.  Before she left, she said, “I know you like pens,” and handed her pen to me. This is [...]

I’ve made a huge mistake

17 November, 2009 (20:47) | technology | By: Gina

I finally got around to installing the App Marketplace on my super awesome Tilt 2 and spent way too much of my time messing around with new games on it today.  I downloaded the trial version of a game called Meon, which contained 32 out of “over 120″ levels of the full game, and got [...]

This is so cool!

I’m blogging from my phone!

Decisions, decisions…

29 October, 2009 (23:01) | technology | By: Gina

Now that my fancy new phone can play music so clearly, I’m trying to figure out what music I wanna load onto my phone and what I might wanna use as my ringtone.  The kid in me wants to keep the Super Mario World theme since most people recognize it and it makes them smile.  [...]

I got it, I got it!

The FedEx guy was driving away from the house as I came home today AND my new pens were in the mailbox waiting for me!  I spent all afternoon playing with my new toys and then spent some good quality time with Jasmine at the mall, looking at Lego sets and then doing a little [...]

OMG OMG OMG

I ordered the Tilt2 on Friday and it shipped today.  If FedEx is correct, they’re delivering it tomorrow.  TOMORROW!!!  I’m so excited!!!

I need to save up $300

Michelle and I went to the AT&T and T-Mobile stores on Sunday after lunch because I wanted to play with the new HTC phones.  AT&T’s Tilt2 isn’t out yet but T-Mobile already has their TouchPro2 out, so I wanted to compare and contrast. I was kind of hoping I’d like the Pure from AT&T since [...]

Big picture life plans as they relate to cars

7 October, 2009 (19:23) | home, technology | By: Gina

Because of my recent car troubles (check engine light, weird stuff happening at stop lights – all turned out to be the cam sensor which has been replaced and is now a non-issue), Evan and I started talking about what kind of cars we might get next.  His is 11 years old and mine’s 6.  [...]

So the plan is to see if Mom and Dad wanna get my sisters and me one of these each for Christmas (really early Christmas because I want it as soon as it’s out).  Good idea?

New toys!

10 September, 2009 (22:10) | technology | By: Gina

Thank goodness Michelle reminded me on the previous entry that they’d already picked up the game.  After a hectic call night last night though, I didn’t have the energy to drive down to Mom’s so my sisters kindly agreed to come up here with dinner and The Beatles: Rock Band disc in tow.  We ate, [...]

Back in the PICU!

4 September, 2009 (18:42) | residency, technology | By: Gina

I think I’m in for a pretty good month.  I’m with Justin, Shaheen, Netsanet, Jennifer from anesthesiology, and Julia our sub-I.  Based on our one day together we all seem to get along pretty well and even though it’ll be really busy with tons of call for everyone, I think it’ll be a good time [...]
