Ok.
So I have the Palm Centro Blue. A mighty fine blue smartphone that did essentially everything I needed. So as you may have guessed, I was pretty excited when I got it as a FREE hand-me-down from my grandparents.
NOTE TO ALL: it pays to have grandparents who aren't afraid of advancements in technology.
So, there I am, enjoying my cellohonular (yes, it is a word in my mind) life, when all of the sudden I receive a call. My sound on/off switch is set to on. And my phone makes absolutely no sound. I start to panic. I flip the on/off switch around a bit (major understatement by the way) and try performing a soft reboot. And the sound still refuses to work. So i go online only to discover that Palm's technical support (similar to that of Apple and Dell) sucks majorly.
I haven't gotten the phone fixed or replaced for say, 2 years. (who am I kidding... Give or take) So I got really excited when my grandparents called to let me know they were shipping me a Blackberry Curve.
It comes in the mail. Yay!
Then we call up Verizon to switch phones. And they kindly let us know that in order to use a BlackBerry phone, you are also charged a $30 data cost. (monthly, FYI)
I was very disappointed, although I now use the phone as a very snazzy PDA. (Thank you to the gods of Wi-Fi)
So that's why my phone sucks. Does yours? Leave a comment telling me about your crappy phone. Or if your feeling mean, leave a comment about how your phone rocks. But if you do I will blog bad about you! No I'm just kidding. I want to know.

Review of Ocean Eyes
Hey-
This is my official review of Owl City's Ocean Eyes.
Hm. Mediocre.
I appreciate the effort that Owl City put this much effort into writing hits on his Apple computer. (which is probably why he gets so much promotion on iTunes!) Honestly, I think practically every song on this city revolves around "Fireflies." It has that playful and childish electronic feel, which I typically hate, but there's just something about this album that keeps me hooked every time. I don't know what.
Overall, I would recommend this album, but you need to give it some time to grow on you. It will eventually. Be patient young padawan ewoks.
Kudos to Owl City,

Transference
Hey everyone-
Sorry it's been sofa king long. To make it up to you, I am making a new line of music reviews. I hope you enjoy them. Here's my first one, on Spoon's recent album "Transference."
First of all, let me tell you that I am pretty much Spoon's biggest fan. Ever. My life goal is to go to a Spoon concert. Honestly. I loved Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and Gimme Fiction the most, and the others were pretty decent too. So, as you might expect, I was totally psyched for the release of their first album since 2007 (thanks a lot for the wait, by the way). But, when I heard Transference, I was extremely underwhelmed. And that is one of the biggest understatements I have ever made.
Transference did not meet my expectations. It just didn't have that passion and awesomeness that I heard in Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. I wonder what happened. But I suppose after eight full releases, you eventually run out of good material. Kidding. But still, it was not impressive. The saddest part of it was the only two songs I liked where the hyped-up Written In Reverse and the one that is only like two minutes long, Is Love Forever? because of the line "I grew up in a supermarket..." because I love their normally hilariously queer lines. Not anymore. I laughed for a minute and a half, then never laughed again. It was not powerful, it had unimpressive guitar parts, and honestly, I think Spoon depended on their lovable raw sound a little too much on this one.
Overall, this is not a Spoon album I recommend. It does not show their real potential and skill as a band, which they sure as hell have.
NO DISCO TOAST,

Kris vs Adam, Now vs Then
Ok, here's the story. On Idol, Adam Lambert (gay guy, good voice) and Kris Allen (straight guy, still good voice). On Idol, Kris rocked. He was way better than Adam then. Then, SHOCKINGLY, Kris won. I honestly thought Adam was gonna win, cuz everyone liked him. He kinda scares me. So then, Kris decides to go be a flippin' dumbass, and release his album at the EXACT SAME TIME AS ADAM'S!!!! IDIOT!!!! Then, Adam's album turns out AMAZING, and Kris's (long story short) sucks. I bet Idol just rigged the votes to get Kris to win just to "shake things up" a bit. Or, they didn't want Adam's gay guy controversy anywhere NEAR THEIR AURA!!!
Whatevs, though. Not like I care if they get rid of Simon. I hardly watched anyway.
METAPHORICAL FRUIT THROWING! (but some Disco Toast for Adam),
