Gadgets...don't you just love them?!
I picked up a new cell phone yesterday. My old was just that...old. Not that it was the size of a breadbox or anything like that. It was just about 6 or 7 years old. I haven't used it in so long. The reception on it was extremely poor. Each phone call was an adventure in trying to find just the right spot to stand in.

Being that my brother and I live in the middle of nowhere, we both thought that it would be a good idea to each have a phone. Not only for emergencies, but, being that I'm my brother's soul means of transportation, when he needs to call for a ride.

The thing about buying any new gadget is the fact that you have to play with it. I LOVE electronic stuff. If I'd had the money, I would have bought one of those PDA, phone thingys. You know. The kind that cost a fortune just because they have all of this extra stuff that comes with them. But, my little Motorola is just as good.

I spend 2 hours last night just setting up my phone (phone numbers, ringtones, voicemail etc). Then I spent this morning setting up my brother's. I just finished downloading games and extra ringtones. My brother loves (and I mean LOVES) The Incredible Hulk. It's all he talks about. That and robot societies. So, you can guess what his ringtone is set to.

The thing about anything new is that it's just that. New. It's like getting your driver's license and driving the car for the first time on your own. It's kind of scary and a big rush. A novelty that soon wears off.

I remember when I got my Ironman Watch. The kind with the Indiglo backing. I spent about half an hour in the bathroom with the lights off just marvelling at the backlight.

Ok. So, small things amuse small minds. It was neat at the time. But then again, so was television when it first came out.

Have a great weekend everyone. Have to play with my phone.
