woo woo

So I'm moving out in a week. I'm super excited. But sad, I'll miss Pete. Hopefully my car can make the drive back to Brigham every week.. eek! My car is a '96ish (not sure) Ford Contour. It ONLY has about 189,000 miles or so... Anywho, just wanted to blog about a few random things tonight..

First off, I'm loving the collaboration between Amazon and its services with, well, everything. It seems like everywhere I look products are adding apps and things from Amazon. Love. For instance, I was looking to get a new phone some time soon (can I afford it? no.) and was looking at T-Mobile's new Samsung Vibrant.. and guess what app comes with it? AMAZON KINDLE. So freaking sweet.. But if I do buy that, I'll feel like I spent $200 on my actual Kindle, and it'll be a waste..

I love/hate technology. Since I'm not much of a tech wiz, (yes, just made that term up) *Tech Wiz: someone who has vast knowledge of all things, products, services, that have to do with technology. Yes, so that's not me. But anywho, since it's not, I never know what's coming out or if I'm buying "the latest" of a purchase. For instance my Kindle. Brand new, newest version, good deal, etc. Buy it. Love it. Content with it and proud of my purchase. Then, like 2 months later, a newer and better version comes out. And that's how it is with EVERYTHING. Or the XBOX 360; bought it, loved it, and now I think they're coming out with some sort of newer version than that. L-A-M-E.

It's also hard to make any purchases when I have this lingering anxiety about the cost of school and books and how poor my family is lol. If only we were more financially...set. Things would be a little easier. But then I probably wouldn't think twice about my purchases or feel guilty when I wasted a few bucks. And then, just think of the horror, I wouldn't have anything to blog about on a hot Monday night in August.

Anywho, that's my rant for now. Excited for the week. Hope things go well and someone randomly enters my name into the lottery and I win.
