Feb. Photo Challenge: Days 4-9

WOO HOO!  It finally feels vaguely like winter/spring!

Let's see... I've been super busy since my last post, and was even in the mood for a bit of cooking!  And for some reason, I've really been into making French toast this week, I made it 3 times so far.  I also tried my hand and candy-making.... but more on that in a future post.  

One afternoon, I randomly just started cooking a batch of yakisoba and rolled egg, then reheated some karaage chicken to go with it

Netflix App

Recently, my sister decided to try out the Netflix streaming subscription, so I downloaded the Netflix app on my iTouch.  There's a disappointingly small variety of things that you can watch, but I enjoyed being able to start off my morning watching a National Geographic special on oceans, then a TLC special on the top bakeries, and most recently, a Wallace and Gromit movie.  xD

I keep on forgetting how detailed these claymation movies are x3

I noticed that I watched two bakery-related things that morning.  xD

Next, I'm going to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's, woooo.

February Photo Challenge:  Days 4-9 (plus runner-up images)

~~~Day 4:  A Stranger~~~

sorry to the random person.  > x >

~~~Day 5:  10 AM~~~ 

~~~Day 6:  Dinner~~~ 

~~~Day 7:  Button~~~ 

~~~Day 8:  Sun~~~ 

I was actually worried that I wasn't going to be able to complete this challenge, since it was super overcast that day.
but near sunset, the sky cleared up, and I ( as well as two other people here who are doing the challenge) was able to
get a photo right before it set.  xD

~~~Day 9:  Front Door~~~

Beware of the Staplers

( x)3

I saw this duck emote today for the first time.  I don't know why, but I found it to be stupidly cute.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, iTouch/iPhone auto-correct makes for hilarious conversations (and future in-jokes):

"Well staplers aren't there for your location... They're interested in getting watching you I guess."

-------

"Why are they called staplers?  If they can use binoculars they can read."
-------
"No I asked you why u called them staplers and not staplers"

(a few seconds later)

"Stalkers*.  Though I may have answered myself since it autocorrected to staplers"

★★★★★★★★★★★★★ FOOD STUFF ★★★★★★★

Light as air, soft, fluffy, sweet-salty.  Doesn't leave a very good first impression, but strangely addictive. Not nearly good (or cute!) as Caramel Corn, though.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★ GAMING STUFF ★★★★★★★

 ANIMAL CROSSING: WILD WORLD

After firing up my game for the first time in a year or two, I then spent the next hour or two chasing down all the cockroaches in my house and de-weeding my town.  It seems that several of my favorite villagers have long since moved out, but I was very pleased to see that at least Nan and Bones stayed, and that I now have Rosie and a super cute white dog by the name of Daisy.  ♥

In the process of hunting down weeds, I ran into a cat with a very disturbing face (and even more disturbing design).....  so I redesigned it!

A gift, huh?... Maybe you should be more careful about
the types of "gifts" you accept...

What is this, I don't even...

And my redesign.  It's better, right? ..... RIGHT?  

Today, I redesigned my town flag, and Nan came over!  >w<

★★★★★★★★★★★★★ TECH STUFF ★★★★★★★

iTouch/smart phone/Android App: PingChat

 "PingChat! lets you send and receive instant messages, pictures, video, locations and voice notes with your data plan or wifi connection. 

PingChat! makes it easy for friends to stay connected! We are currently available on the Android, Blackberry and iOS platforms. This means that PingChat! can be installed on hundreds of different devices! Seamless integration allows users to chat smoothly across all platforms. "   -http://pingchat.com/features/  

Today, a friend of mine recommended PingChat to me for my messaging needs, so with his help, I took it for a test spin.  

  

Messaging options pictured:  

1.  Regular text messages

2.  Audio messaging/recording (up to 30 seconds)
For Android users, you can even send video clips on your device!

3.  Video messaging/recording  (unknown size limit)

There's a coffee cup emote, Habib.

Location sending:  You can send any location
to your friends and family.  (Your house, where
you are, where a restaurant is, etc.)

  Pretty awesome, right?  I had a lot of fun tonight trying out all the features with my friend.  The only downside?  You can only use these features with people who have PingChat downloaded (unlike TextFree, which allows you to text, message, and call* those without TextFree).  

So if I don't find at least 1-2 more friends who can message me with this, all of it will be to message one person.  And I don't really have a whole lot of space left on my iTouch. Ok, I'll just say it outright.  HABIB AND FRIENDS!  PLEASE DOWNLOAD THIS SO WE CAN HAVE CRAZY GOOD TIMES (for free, too)!  B)
