Mobile blogging is a go! (Part 1)

August 29, 2008 Rye Leave a comment

I can finally blog on the go once again, so this will hopefully make me post on here and update you more about my life.

I made the jump and purchased the iPhone 3G today (13 more days until I receive it!) and with that, I added a 6GB data plan they were offering for $30. Since I have a 3G smartphone already (the Moto Q9h, if you haven’t been reading my blog), I’m able to use it until I actualy activate the iPhone. I’m using the mobile WordPress site at the moment to write this entry.

So yeah, I finally decided to get one. I’ll fill you in more about it on another post…

The Dark Knight

August 29, 2008 Rye Leave a comment

Yes, I was finally able to watch it last night with Pierre on IMAX… and I loved every single minute of it!

I think mostly everyone I know has seen it at least in the first two weeks it opened (multiple times for some of you too!), so I was pretty much behind. Finally had some free time after work, so I headed downtown to see it with Pierre.

We got the tickets at the Scotiabank Theatre first, then headed to eat at East! (got their seafood pad thai, which I love). We managed to eat pretty quickly, so right after that, off to watch The Dark Knight we went! Since it’s been more than a month, we thought that the theatre would only have 5-10 (20 max, maybe) people in it. When we went in the theatre, it was already 60% full, so we ended up sitting at the third row from the front…which wasn’t too bad since it was an IMAX theatre. After that, people just kept coming in and 90% of the theatre was filled up before showtime. Man! I didn’t think the movie was still bringing in that much of a crowd…and on a Thursday night too.

If you haven’t seen the movie in IMAX, see it again… it’s a must. I think that they should start making more IMAX movies since they’re just totally amazing in that format. (I can’t wait for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in IMAX, by the way!) If you haven’t seen the movie at all, stop living under a rock like I’ve been for the last month and go see it already. I was just totally mesmerized by Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker. The role just suited him so… such a sad thing, the whole story.

Anyway, I’m glad to have finally seen the movie. Who wants to go see it (again)? I’ll gladly pay another $15 to see it in IMAX! :D

A week (or two) off

August 25, 2008 Rye Leave a comment

Ever since I finished school in April, I’ve been working steadily at least 4 to 5 days a week. Yes, I do get those random weekends off or two consecutive days off, but it’s just not the same. I feel like I need to take a really long break to just get away for a while and relax and do nothing. I’ve just been feeling really exhausted lately and find myself out of energy at times.

Or maybe I just need to get away from the city for a bit. Allie’s been wanting to go to MontrĂ©al, and I think September or October would be a good time to do so. We’ll see… I do know that I want to go back there this year. As long as we do it before it gets cold!

WordPress app for Windows Mobile?

August 24, 2008 Rye 7 comments

The mobile blogging app I installed in my Q9h didn’t really work since it was more for the touchscreen Windows Mobile devices. All I could see was the top half of the running app all the time and it sucked! I was really hoping to be able to blog using my Q9h, so that I’ll be able to update you more about my day-to-day life.

Does anyone know another good mobile blogging app for the Windows Mobile non-touchscreen types? I know I could try to search the forums and online, but I’m just way too lazy to do that right now. I really need a week off soon since I’ve been feeling more and more exhausted with each passing day…which will be talked about in my next post in a couple of hours. :)

Mobile blogging

August 6, 2008 Rye Leave a comment

I’ve just installed an application on my Q9h that will allow me to post here. I’m going to try it out for the next few weeks and see if the frequency of my posts increase. The only reason why I don’t post much is that I’m not home much, and when I am at home, I get distracted so much that I don’t have one continuous moment to type up a blog post.

I do try my best to post as much as I can, but sometimes that is not the case. I hope you know that you can always follow what I’m doing via Facebook, Twitter, or Flickr… not that I’m saying to completely ignore the blog, but if you want quick updates, those are usually the three methods I choose!

On another note, I should have more free time to do this since my schedule is changing. I’m only gonna be working at least 3-4 days per week, so I can dedicate a little bit more time to blog and update you all about my (exciting) life… :)
