BB > iPhone

I found the best cell phone case. If only I had an iPhone. I haven’t found all that many neat looking BlackBerry cases. But I’ll show you a few I found on google, that have caught my eye. Wooden one’s especially.

I like this one. A lot.

This second one caught my eye — but it looks almost cheaply designed.

Nice, huh?

I don’t have a case for my BlackBerry because those things are indestructible in my opinion. I’ve flicked them across the room unintentionally and they don’t break. Going to the RIM benefit concert when U2 were playing in Toronto, everyone’s blackberries were lit up. One even dropped 20feet from a balcony seat. It fell apart with the back battery was, but it didn’t break. iPhones? I’ve heard about the screen cracking on them just from sitting on them. Not so indestructible.

Remember the days of Nokia? I used to only buy Nokia phones because of their neat size/design/shape and of course durability with my clumsy self. I’ve owned only 2 or 3, and then my company gave me a BlackBerry to use. So for the last 5 years I’ve only known or cared about the BlackBerry — I mean, why research other phones when you’re happy with the one you have?

Do you have a BlackBerry or iPhone? Why did you choose the one you did?

Hornet in the house

We’ve been eating our dinner outside on the balcony pretty much every day this week, and last — it’s been so nice outside. I’m hesitant to tell my parents in Newfoundland how amazingly warm it is, since they’re stuck with rain and fog with a visibility of 200m lol… that sucks.

So back to the point of my story — I kept our patio door open during supper last night for some reason and eventually a hornet ended up on one of our lamps. A lamp that probably resembles a wasps nest, I’m pretty sure it’s a hornet though because it’s more black and not so furry. I’m getting itchy just thinking about it. Remember how much I’m terrified of wasps?

I should have just sucked him up in the vacuum. Why didn’t I think of that earlier? Or design up some party invitations telling him the party is OUTSIDE where he belongs.  Instead, I turned off every single light in the apartment, opened up the balcony and turned on a bright light to lure the bugger out. It didn’t work. He kept working on his little nest.

I think it’s still in the apartment. I swear I’ll freak if I see it building a nest. BAM. Outchu go!
