If I hadn’t misplaced my phone in my own house (yes, my own house), I wouldn’t have gotten this phone so soon. I expected to go into a Sprint store, get some sort of temporary phone until insurance replaced my trashy Instinct and go on about my day. I asked if the Evo was available, expecting to get the general and frequented response that it was out of stock, but when the sales guy said “I think..”, I was S-O-L-D. I bought the phone, screen protectors with anti-glare, and the case that you see to the left.

The apps are amazing. The screen is huge. It’s much bigger than the iPhone. There are a few apps that aren’t available such as Skype and Words With Friends, but Fring and iMovicha are available and work just as well. The Twitter for Andriod app is AMAZING. The retweet add-on is a must for me since it Twitter for Andriod doesn’t allow you to add to the message you wish to retweet. The camera, the vast amount of space, the antenna, etc. . everything on this phone is beneficial to me!

I’m still in the process of personalizing my phone to meet all of my needs. I didn’t think that would be so hard. The Evo offers six screens that you can add icons to and organizing them is taking a lot of my time. In the process, I’ve discovered a few apps that I know my life will no longer function without:

Google Voice, Mail, Wave, Talk, Maps, etc. (EVERYTHING GOOGLE)

Google, where would be without you? From the translator (for my Swahili class) to Google Voice which has become my primary voice service, they provide everything that I need. My dependence on Google’s software is embarrassing. I seriously may need some intervention.

Pandora & Imeem
I’m not sure how I’d get through my day without listening to some type of music. These two applications are AMAZING, especially Pandora. I wish the Grooveshark app was free, but these will do.

Social Networking & Blogging: Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo! Messenger, GoogleTalk, Flikr, WordPress, PhotoShop Express, tumblr, etc.
I have all of these apps and much more.

Talking Tom Cat

My daughter and my son LOVE this app. My son likes this because the cat repeats what he says and he thinks his funny. I knew he’d like this app ever since his father introduced that talking parent iPhone app. (Mommy’s is much better! :p ) Anyways, my daughter likes to “abuse” the little kitty. Maybe that’s why Queen (our former housemate kitty) escaped through the dryer vent. But in my daughter’s defense, this Tom Cat has a lot of audacity. I took a few wacks at him myself!

To all my iPhone and iPhone Killer users (read: Android Device Owners), what are your favorite apps?

The news was horrific and terrifying. I couldn’t believe an act could ever be committed on our soil, our territory. All of those innocent lives lost, families in dire need of uplifting and the peril that our country faced had us all in shock.

This memory is never a distant one. I’ll always remember.

..and only spent $6.00!

So, I was browsing My Baton Rouge Mommy Blog and came across the entry where Disney’s Imagination Movers show will be filmed in New Orleans later on in June. Now, my kids LOVE Imagination Movers so I figured this would be a good deal and I could save enough money by the date and we could get really good seats. To my luck, this tickets are actually on sale for $.75 beginning at 10AM!

I’ve been watching the clock, I’ve set 3 different reminders on my computer, and I’ve been refreshing since 8:30AM. I am DETERMINED to purchase these tickets!

WISH ME LUCK!

This is why I am anti-Nicki Minaj.

I wonder if this chick listened to/watched this video before broadcasting her ignorance and stupidity to the nation!

I forgot how much fun I used to have at the movies. The last movie that I saw was Avatar. Sad. Anyways, this movie was AWESOME! A lot of people were saying that the original one was better but since I wasn’t even born when the first version debuted in 1981, I couldn’t chime into the debate. Nevertheless, Greek Mythology intrigues me. I did my high school term paper on Hades and The Underworld and my English teacher loved it so much that she rewarded me with a 96. (I had a few grammatical errors that Microsoft Word didn’t catch.)
