Frame of my Mind

So, I move tomorrow. Unfortunately BT can’t switch the internet over until the 7th, which means I won’t be online again until Tuesday. Since I work from home, I can’t move my PC, and I will keep having to commute to my old place–which I still have under contract until mid-September–each day for the next week.

I just finished reading Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Bernières, and what can I say. An epic story of love during the German and Italian occupation of Greece in World War II. Terribly funny in parts and very serious and traumatic in others, and the writing is extremely poetic. It took me a long time to get through; it’s really quite a mouthful, but I found it a more than worthwhile read for anyone interested in romance and war stories. Highly recommended. One of the better WWII stories I’ve encountered.

So, on my third time (lucky) trying to upgrade my phone, I succeeded. The LG Viewty Smart GC900 is all mine. First impressions of the iPhone competitor – it’s nice. Sleek and thin (albeit wide) the lack of buttons is somewhat daunting. I have to say, the first time I tried to use the touch screen I completely failed. Approximately ten text messages, some internet browsing and a few phonecalls later I seem to have gotten the hang of it.

I redesigned. Hated the old look. At least this one is nice and colouful. Feedback welcome and appreciated. :)

Where have I been, and what have I been up to recently? Graduating with upper second class honours (all that palava with getting notes for PMS worked out), and successfully looking for work. I broke my laptop and now need to save up for a new one. The screen fell off. I didn’t pull it or anything. The hinges were gradually snapping, and then all of a sudden when I was typing it just came off. Great. Dells only just outlast their warranty, it seems. Who would’ve thought it?
