Voice lessons have been scheduled, starting this week!

I don’t really know exactly what to expect since I’ve never taken any before, but I’m excited!

Photo is of Big Ben, in London.

It really takes a lot of effort and courage for me to make phone calls to people, much less someone I have never spoken to. But, sometimes there’s nothing to do but bite the bullet and call.

Thankfully I got the answering machine. I really prefer to be called in these situations. Somehow it’s easier.

Although I’m worried I’m going to get a call back tonight, while I’m gone. And then phone tag will begin…

The photo today is from my trip to Paris in 2005.

I don’t really have any birthday-related photos, so this weird winter one will have to do.

So yes, I’m 24 officially now, although I’ve been creeping towards it all last year XD I had take-out, cake and presents, pretty typical for birthdays.

Feeling lazy, but it’s my birthday so I’m entitled, at least this once.

Happy February to all!

In my long, torturous journey to wait for a sufficiently sized iPod Touch, I’ve though only of reaching the 64GB mark. 64GB was to be my trigger. Apple would release it (possibly this month), and I would buy it. Seems simple.

But now. Now I am thinking, “if I’ve been waiting this long, why buy mid-cycle just for a size upgrade?” Increased storage is not a major hardware revision, what if iPod Touch 3rd Gen is something incredibly awesome? This seems unlikely, mind you, I can’t imagine what they could add that would make me feel like it was absolutely necessary to own; my phone has GPS and runs various internet-related apps fine. I have a camera that I would never replace with the meager 2MP that’s in the iPhone right now, or even 3MP should they dare to upgrade. If I wanted a combination device with a good camera I would have bought a different phone, that’s for sure.

What could they add?

The problem is, because I don’t know, Apple might catch me off guard. I hate being one-upped by companies who release versions every year, only to be caught between the cycles I want. My iPod isn’t broken yet (and this, this is also bad logic. If something of one brand breaks, why buy another model of the same brand?) so there’s no need, and this has held me over for a long time. I am not sure how much longer it will last, though.

My resolve may very well break if a 64GB version appears in the next few weeks.

Well, January has come to a quiet close. I don’t expect February to be super great, but I wonder if anything will change…

The above photo was taken in Harajuku, and I don’t remember much of the circumstances surrounding it, only, I was in Harajuku a lot. XD
