Posh & Paisley

Don't Give Up On Me Now!

My iPod needs a heart transplant. I'm very sad, it's terminal I think.

It might be too soon to start looking for a replacement. I don't think I can bear the thought of a brand new one. To think, I have all these adorable accessories for it.

Just check out this awesome Velvet Ivy iPod case that I have. How can I bear to part with this if I get a new teeny tiny nano?

So I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Emergency rooms, iRepair shops, positive thinking... you name it, I'm gonna try it!

Subway Dis-Connection

Riding the subway in a big city like T.O. definitely has it's ups and downs. Sometimes you run into friends, sometimes you'll give your seat up for an elderly and the majority of the time, you are faced with weird situations and crazy people. Take for example, my recent subway train experience.

A guy sat across from me on the empty train. I was reading a book. A really great book in fact, and I didn't want to be interrupted. Of course that's exactly what he does, and this is how it all unfolded:

Him: "Hey, how's it going?" (He's probably 17 yrs old and all thugged out)

Me: "Hello." (If you know what cut-eye is, then you'll know the look I was giving him.)

Him: "I noticed you were reading a book, is it any good?"

Me: "Yes." (I turn my eyes back to my book.)

Him: "What's your name?" (He's giving me a half smile, and trying to look all smooth)

Me: "I don't give my name out to strangers. Sorry." (I looked up only briefly to utter that sentence.)

Him: "I'm not a stranger, you probably know me, I go to Newtonbrook (high school???). I think I've seen you before."

Me: "Um, I'm 26."

Him: "Oh shit. Sorry." (He looks embarrassed. Then he pulls out his iPod and puts his headphones on, shifts his uncomfortable gaze to the ads up above and we ride in silence together all the way to Finch station.)

I know. Awkward.

It's alright though, because really it was better than the crazy cracked out lady that usually gets on the Bloor westbound train. She usually screams in my face. At least this guy was nice, and he had a cool skin on his iPod nano, and made me want to have one as well.

His iPod was gray with some geometric shapes, but I want a paisley one and I found this one from decalgirl.com. Next time I'll make sure to read with headphones on, maybe that's the only way to get people to get the hint.

Though, now that I think about it, I've done that before, and a man with a name tag that read Elder Nathan Carlsen still thought it was okay to interrupt me. He asked me if I was having a good day and whether I'd ever heard of a missionary.

Sigh. Maybe I should stop showering?   

VC sucks!

I had an amazing time at the Toronto Raptors basketball game against the New Jersey Nets yesterday. To wrap it up, we won, Raptors Rule, and Vince Carter sucks. End of story.

My friend Michelle is great and has amazing box seats that she is always in the habit of sharing with me.

She also picked me up and dropped me off while providing some fantastic music to accompany us the whole way.  Her iPod is usually jam-packed with fabulous songs and we can't help but dance and shake the whole ride through. She is definitely one person that is very deserving of the adorable Vestalife Element Skateboards Limited Edition Ladybug pictured above, and I find it pretty darn exciting that it comes in this awesome paisley.

I love that it's so cute, and boy is it ever tiny. Here is a picture of it with an iPod, just to give you an idea of its 1.27 lbs size.

This thing is even iPhone compatible, and has me drooling. Not that I have an iPhone, I'm just saying...

So again, the point of this whole post was that we won, Raptors rule and that Vince Carter still sucks.   

All Teched Out

I am hurting today. Seriously, my shoulders are killing me and I think that Lenny's to blame.

Lenny is what I've named my trusty laptop, and though I am usually more than happy to be furiously typing away, for the last few days I've wanted to scream even when just looking at the keyboard.  I've been working on a brochure for the annual karate camp that my karate club holds every year, and my perfectionist tendencies are stressing me out about it.

My karate girls were there today, they would be able to tell you all about how crazy I get when I'm stressing. I was especially nuts because it was taking me loads of time to email myself all the files I needed, just so that I could open them up on the office computers and print them there.

I didn't have my iPod with me and didn't have a USB drive to make my life easier.  So as soon as I got home today I looked into buying one, and was excited to find these cute Pexagon USB thumb drives that are specially geared towards all the lovely tech savvy ladies out there.

Now if I could just get Lenny to give me a massage, all would be right in the world. 

iPaisley, iAdore!

I heart this iPod case.  Find it here. Thank you.

But I think it would be cuter in green. Or maybe Orange. With purple paisleys.

Now I'm done. iPromise. hahaha... sorry, couldn't help it.
