So last weekend our neighbor (who is cool and not loud) had this insane party - everyone was screaming and going nuts from like 4pm to midnight straight, totally crazy. Whatever right, I'm glad they had a good time, but dang.

But took out the trash today and found this. Damn!! This has never happened before, and it's still 2 more days till the garbage guy comes.

Our friend Nicole was away on a trip so we helped watch over her car while she was gone. Say hello to Oscar!!

I also had some fun trying out the photo editing features on my phone. Nothing great, just for fun...

The new phone!!

It's a Nexus 4 (as previously stated), using T-Mobile's $30/mo prepaid. Pretty frickin awesome, I'm not sorry I got it. Had to decide basically between this and a used iPhone 4s for about the same price. This being sold new and unlocked, plus that it's a newer phone, I thought made it a good choice.

Of course though between those two phones the main difference is iOS vs Android. Seriously I spent so much time researching this junk, it made me realize that I'd be willing to put in the time necessary to get a lot out of Android. Anyway.. I should have some pics of the actual phone itself but since I'm taking all the pics right now WITH this phone, that'll just have to wait!

Oh and BTW, I learned a ton of crap about how networks are run in America in this process, so if anyone wants to pay less per month for phone service, let me know. It CAN be done!

Random

Also in case anyone is wondering, my old HTC phone broke, so I'm using a new lg nexus 4. First smartphone ever, totally awesome!!

Also that's why I have no pics for the last month or so

This is how the jerkface with the parking spot next to us parked last week. Ummmm yeah that's like 5 feet of space there. We don't have a lot of extra room in our lot!

Went to the music thing put on by my niece and nephew's class today. Nephew did not sing at all.. probably woulda got in trouble if I was in charge! It was brutally cold last night too, blech.

I know these are poor quality shots of random kids who even I don't know, but whatever! It was fun to try to match up the kids with their parents after the show, haha. That may have been the most fun part... is that too mean?

Was at the grocery store today and saw some Milo. I remembered that my niece and nephew used to like that stuff in Singapore, and it was like 79 cents so I got some. Plus it is healthy and energy and cool soccer player!!!

Like 5 easy gulps later it was gone, and then out of curiosity I checked the nutrition info... wtf 180 calories!

It tasted alright though!

Karin is helping out at an organization called the Korean Adoptee Ministry, and today I went with her to work on an end of the year mailing. So here are some pics from the office!

I guess banners are cheap in Korea? So they have banners from trips they took there. And then that's the coffee that I drink when I'm there =)

So I got this one piece drum kit for Christmas, actually pretty cool! I don't need anything fancy and its fun to mess around or play along with some simple songs they include in it... but anyway

I got up for a minute to talk with Karin about something, and when I got back, Quimby was in my spot! She does this all the time though, we call her number one spot stealer.

I am sitting on her favorite blanket now while I write this, so that I can get up and she'll steal this spot instead...

Waiting Period

So I have a long ongoing process with getting a new smartphone, I keep talking about it and trying to decide, and then the months go by and I never actually get one. Last week though I finally took Karin's old Android 2.2 phone and we wiped it and I started using it with wifi. That's when I posted the Christmas Tree picture. But now I can't use it again... tried to start it up with real service, but turns out we need the unlock code, which is supposedly on its way, but isn't here yet. Until that comes I'm effectively without a working phone.. bummer!
