eee1313I am now one of millions of people who have a smartphone. It's an LJ Optimus T, to be precise. I'm powered by Android, whoooo! ...Except I am still totally confused by this thing. Can I assign ringtones? I've tried to figure that out, but I'm coming up blank. There's no option for it in my "contacts" section. And I can't get my Yahoo e-mail account to hook up to the mail feature, so now I have a GMail address which I can access through the phone, but I don't want to have to switch to GMail because I've been using the same Yahoo account since, like, 1997. Oh, technology, you vex me so!
Seriously, though, if any of you know how to assign ringtones to certain people, let me know.
In other news, I have finally "read" the first of the Harry Potter books. And by "read," I mean that I listened to the audiobook while on the way to Ohio last weekend. I'm also a quarter of the way into Catching Fire, which is also good. And speaking of books, anyone who's read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, could you explain the appeal for me? My sister-in-law and I watched the movie (because we'd heard it was good, and EVERYONE we know is reading the books), and we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Honestly, I don't get it. Why does everyone thing Lisbeth Salander is so damn awesome? She's totally effed up. And I didn't find the plot all that entertaining, or hard to figure out. And oooooh, the girl who disappeared left because she was molested by her dad and brother, who were NAZIS. How edgy. :| I don't know, it just kind of grossed me out. Between the thing I just mentioned in the spoiler, and Lisbeth's rape, and then Lisbeth randomly having sex with Mikael, I just... It just left me feeling like I needed a shower. Are the books as creepy/dull as the movie?
Not much else to say, really. It's almost Valentine's Day, so I'll wish all of you a happy one now. Whether you spend the day with someone romantically, are enjoying it with family, or are spending it with friends (human or four-footed and furry), may you have a wonderful day filled with love.
