Redbox rocks my world
If you haven’t already heard of or used Redbox, I suggest that you get on it right away! I love to go to Walmart, and I was always very curious about this machine at the front of the store. Everytime I go there, I always see people using it, and it got me curious. Renting a DVD for $1? Could it really be true? I went on a mission to find out.
I had always gone to Blockbuster, their no late fees policy was always nice and they have a great selection of new releases as well as classics. However, it can get a bit pricey…especially since I am only going to watch the movie once and return it the next day. Redbox came to save the day! You can rent a movie for just $1. Sure, they don’t have as many movies as Blockbuster, but they do have a good selection as well as new releases. I rented Sex and the City the day it came out for $1! It’s really easy to. You just swipe your credit card, select your movie, and off you go! You don’t need a special card or a membership or any silly thing like that. It’s awesome. And you can return your movie at any Redbox kiosk. I am officially addicted.
Hello Kitty and Ebay
I am a HUGE Hello Kitty fan. I love it. I think it’s so adorable, and when I have a daughter one day I hope she loves it too lol. I am also a big fan of ebay. You can get anything you have ever dreamed of on there, it’s awesome. So, naturally when I want a new Hello Kitty item, ebay is my first stop. Usually, I look for something in particular, such as a watch or cosmetic bag. Today, however, I decided I want a new Hello Kitty item, but I’m not sure exactlywhat. So I typed in simply “Hello Kitty”. Wow.
How crazy is that?! Almost 22,000 Hello Kitty things on ebay, and all this time I had no idea!!! So… I decided to check them out. Today, I learned that you can have anything you want in a Hello Kitty version. Here are some of the more interesting items I found…
A Hello Kitty USB Vaccum for your computer!
A Hello Kitty contact lens set.
A Hello Kitty sowing machine!
A Hello Kitty Fender Squier Stratocaster guitar!
Hello Kitty Christmas Cigarette Lighter case!
Hello Kitty stripper outfit? hmm…
Hello Kitty dog sweater (why would a dog wear a kitty?!)
So, today I learned that anything you can possibly want or need comes in a Hello Kitty version. Hooray!!!
New Camera For Me!
Ok, so I would like to start off by saying I BREAK EVERYTHING. I don’t know what it is. I mean I’m not like a clumsy person or anything, but everything that is cool around me gets broken. Carlos (the fiance) got new subs in his truck. What do I do? Put my seat too far back and break them. He has a really nice/expensive digital camera. What do I do? Drop it in a cup full of Jack & Coke. Way to go Nicole! I break my own stuff to. I had a digital camera. Broken. My first iPod? Dropped it probably about 1000 times. I pre-ordered my iPod touch. I was so excited about it, it was new and awesome and nobody else had one. The 2nd day I had it, I dropped it. It didn’t break thank God, but it put a nice dent in the side. My iPhone. I’ve probably dropped the thing 100 times already and I’ve only had it a month. So, maybe I am clumsy… I donno.
SO…. since I broke every picture taking device we owned, it was time to get a new one. Honestly, I should probably start going with disposable ones because I don’t think that they can be broken unless you were to jump up and down on it or throw it in liquid. I donno. So anyways, new camera time. After researching a little and hearing what everyone at every electronics story in the Mesa and surrounding areas had to say, we decided to get a Canon. And, because of my history with cool things, we decided not to spend to much because we are probably going to have to buy a new one after a few months anyways. So, we went with the Canon Powershot SD750.
I think it’s perfect! Not too big, not too small. Nice size display screen with an incredibly nice clear and crisp picture. Awesome zoom. It’s great! I mean, it’s not like I’m a professional photographer or anything. It’s not a hobby. I just do it for fun, whenever I see something worthwhile that I would like to see again sometime, or if I see something for my scrapbook! Anyways, I’m way excited about this camera. I’ll definitely take some pictures today and tomorrow and put them up so we can see what they look like!
Map Apps on iPhone
Ok, so after downloading and trying out a few different map programs on my iPhone, I’ve decided they are all worthless. I mean the phone comes with Google maps already installed, and that seems to do just about the same exact thing as all these other programs. It has a clean and clear map, you can search for particular places, and you can get step by step directions. It also finds your current location so you don’t have to type in a starting point.
You can store particular places, such as your house or work, by “dropping a pin”. By doing this you are able to quickly get directions to a place you commonly travel to instead of having to type in the address every time.
Another cool feature is being able to see traffic. It definitely helps me when I have to travel through Phoenix at a busy time, I’m able to find an alternative route. It also gives you an option to view things through a Satellite or Hybrid through. I like to use this to look at my parents house every now and then, what can I say I miss home!
When you search for a particular place, you are able to call them right from the map, and even go straight to their website. You can even add them straight to your contact list.
So tell me, what are your thoughts on this? If there is something out there that I am not seeing or don’t know about, please fill me in!
WaMu is dead!
Washington Mutual bank is gone. Yahoo! Financial calls it “the biggest bank failure in US history”. Ouch. Well, I feel bad for them of course, nobody wants to fail and be bought by JPMorgan, but the part that I am most sad about is that I will no longer get to see their hilarious commercials. Seriously. WaMu had way better commercials then all the other banks combined. They all sort of went the same way…
1. person finds out they have free checking account and no fees
2. they become very happy and slowly drift off into dreamland…
3. something incredibly hilarious happens
4. the commercial ends and we got to here they classic “woo hoo!”
Here is one of my favorite commercials from them…
WaMu… rest in peace.
Awesome Wii video on Youtube!

My Hatred For Bluetooth Headsets
Have you ever been in a public place, lets say the mall or Target, and you see someone walking alone and they appear to be talking to them-self? I have. In one instance, this person was actually facing me and said “hello”… so naturally I said “hi” back, they then pointed to their ear and said “oh no not you i’m sorry!”. I stopped, looked around, there was nobody else there. Who else could they have been talking to? This is when I learned about these little devil devices aka … Bluetooth!
After doing some extensive research online about this little satanic pieces of technology, I discovered there is only one person in this Universe that looks good with one and and is allowed to wear it. Here he is:
Yes, David Beckham. He, and ONLY he, should every be allowed to wear one. And, I’m sure with the assistant of fashion genius wife Victoria Beckham, his is quite tasteful.
I hate these things. What is so annoying is that people leave them in their ear all day, even when they aren’t talking on the phone? WHY?! Do they look call in any way shape or form? No. They don’t. And some of them even have a little blue light that blinks. I hate it.
It makes sense in some instances, like in California where you can’t talk on the phone while driving. Fine, wear a bluetooth…. but take it out when you are done with the conversation. And seriously, I know those things cannot be comfortable. A big bulky thing weighing down your ear all day? Doesn’t sound fun at all.
So… for the sake of mankind, get rid of your bluetooth headset. Not only is it confusing to millions of people like myself, it also makes you look a little bit crazy.
Hooray for Sex and the City!
FINALLY! Sex and the City comes out on DVD today!!! I’ve been waiting for this for so long. I am a HUGE SATC fan. I have all the seasons on DVD and whenever I get bored I pop one in.
I LOVE SJP (Sarah Jessica Parker) style. She is fearless and bold. Here are some of my favorites from her.
And then of course there is the wonderful Charlotte York-Goldenblatt! She is endlessly optimistic and downright entertaining. I love her. She is always up in the clouds with the idea that life is suppose to be a fairy tale. Everyone loves her, her preppy chic style is to die for, she brings back Jackie O and Audrey Hepburn. And who wouldn’t kill to have her Park Avenue apartment! She is the ultimate perfectionist.
Next we have Miranda. The narcissistic mother and lawyer. She works full time and has something to say about everything. She is a funny girl! And, in my opinion, one of the few women that can pull off red hair and look great. She is 100% business chic.
And last but definitely NOT least, Samantha Jones. She is the ultimate cougar. She is sex. She is absolutely fabulous!
So… if you aren’t a fan already, I suggest you go to the nearest Blockbuster and rent a season! It’s absolutely addicting!
YAY for September 23rd!!!
