5/9 - The bit continues: I talk about the Light Phone III

I just realized I never really updated on my thoughts on the light phone III now that I have it in my hands! I've had it for almost 2 months now, and I want to talk about it. 

The first point is I haven't fully gotten off my iPhone yet. I did move my sim card, but due to the MFA required, and having to have it on me at specific times right now for reasons I cannot get into, the phone is still pretty close by. I'm hoping by June where the reasons I cannot get into are no longer valid that I can really work on further disconnecting myself from using my iPhone.

In terms of the lightphone itself, I want to talk about aspects I use and my thoughts.

Texts - Not bad, aside from the fact that some Iphone only GCs are now permanently broken, where I can send texts but I cannot receive their texts. There's only 2 GCs affected, but it's still a pain. It can be weird to get used to texting, but I've gotten used to it after awhile.

Phone calls - Not too bad! No real issues so far except if I call someone when they call me at the same time, the phone bugs the HELL out.

Hotspot - Pretty nice. I only use it if I have my iphone on me and need to use it in a place I don't have wifi, or for longer GPS requirements.

GPS - This is pretty good, except I am a bit sad about the battery draining if the trip is more than 30 minutes. My current workaround is using my iphone, but I am hoping to get a garmin one day for my longer treks.

Photos - Cool! I have to plug it into my computer to upload them, but it's cool.

Music - 20 gigs.... ohhhhh this is great. Additionally it's uploading mp3s, so I can rip cds, purchase from bandcamp, etc. I just sort of wish there was a playlisting option.

I will say I am excited to see what additional items will come out, there's going to be some like community built features coming out eventually which is super cool to see. 

Overall, I don't regret this purchase, the next step is to just ensure that I get myself in the proper space to like... actually get off the iphone!!

5/9 - Local gal disappears

Wow!!!!!! It's been a bit!!!!!! This past month and a half has been really busy with the second job as well as dog watching, and I've been focused on starting some room renovations. It's been a bit weird not wearing as many codes but I've been working on make, so it's been fun to do that!

It's been weird since after I got my babymetalclub order and a dia setup.... I haven't bought a lot of new clothes. Which feels weird... but thats good!!!! 

This month, a lot of my spare spending money is going towards my room renovations, where I'm turning my office space into a closet and then turning my bed space into a non clothing space, that way I have one messy room and one clean room. I hope this makes sense... LOL. 

Once I get those done, I definitely want to share! It's kind of a mess right now so its just... difficult LOL!

The biggest thing I've struggled with is like holding off buying things until I REALLY need them. Like I want to also get a new comforter set and sheet set, but I am trying to hold off until I'm all set with moving my furniture around. I want to buy new dressers, but I'm nowhere near that step yet. The next step is actually putting together our vacuum to vacuum off all the wood dust that fell out when I was tearing the old dresser apart!!! And my god that was hard... it was not ikea furniture, it was old, rusting, and everything was hammered together. I understood why the old tenant left it as a "gift". And also not sponsored, I went on reddit to understand how my city's waste pickup worked, and turns out it is horrible, and someone said to try 1-800 got junk. It was about 300 bucks including the tip, but they picked it up, brought stuff down the stairs, and the cursed dresser is gone! Also, same day!!! And they showed up an hour earlier than estimated!! And they called me in advance to let me know!!! Ray and Keith were great!!! 

In terms of like... makeup and styling, I really need to get my roots redone, I have held off on doing them myself, but I need to schedule time and money to get it done. Also, I've been frustrated with my make recently, specifically my lashes and brows, so I picked up some new lashes to see if I can play around with them and make it work, as well as getting a hopefully yellow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! brow gel!!!! since all the blonde pencils I've purchases are like ash blonde and not yellow blonde. lol. lmao even.

Hopefully this summer is more fruitful!! Also I gotta blog NYC one day.. maybe not today.
