Ok,
So just came back from the sprint store to help my mom with her Samsung Rant which keeps breaking over and over again and I found out that if you downloaded the software for the HTC Hero 200 within the first 3 days you got hosed.
I redownloaded the file and a. it only took a minute or two this time and b. it had a new version number (it's HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6.exe now), so if you got yours around then and noticed anything wonky with your phone (slower, battery eating madness, hinky installs and sluggish everything in general) that's prolly why.
I'll update this posting to tell you what's different about the performance. I think it's fishy that there's a newer firmware update that they didn't let anyone know anything about, but I guess if you're that much of an early adopter you'd know something fishy was going on and check your self. For those of you how haven't I guess this blog entry may suffice.
Ooh, on the way to updating I found MyBackup. It's an android app that lest you back up everything on the phone call logs, sms, and mms where the things I was there for, but you can back up much more like apps and system settings and other stuff so you don't have to go re downloading things, which is nice since your google account only remembers apps you paid for when you bought (but not all of them), and some apps can't be re downloaded (iMusic comes to mind).
Ok that was my good dead for the day.
Talk to you later.

Some cuteness for you peepl'zCategory: unnerd
Fern and I bumped into J9 at the Farmers market this weekend.
Found out some interesting stuff from some farmers aaaaand saw some cute babies, even added my own to the mix to make it really cheek pinchy.
Here's the vid I snappped of Fern and J9 pokein' some cute chicks and goslings. Fern and her had a hug fest, which if you've ever met the Fuzzball in person you must know is astounding. J9 was like the only person we saw that Fern ever opened up to like that. Too bad it didn't work out. Oh well... I persist that shyness is a disease and I'm gonna cure her of it (I'm totally kidding. If I were going to be a monster I'd rather be one that could fly and suck blood or howl at the moon or something). Still, it seems like we might be able to be friends by and by, which is great.
I think maybe it was kinda weird how they had these cute little guys in a box next to coolers full of the bodies of their aunts, uncles, and possibly parents, but it's a cute video anyway.
Coming soon to a dinner plate near you*
Also found out that chemical companies who paid for a study to "determine" if cell phone towers could be the cause of the bee crisis are probably hiding the fact that their company's chemicals are causing the plants to be less nutritious for the bees from a bee keeper.
i wish my phone was faster so I could recored audio of stuff like that at least.

- listen very closely to the conversation between the little girl and J9. This lil squishy face is already racially aware at like 3 years old. Otherwise J9 is borderline vegan so that what we're talking about.

So,
I have a friend.
She's really pretty. Olive skin, dark brown hair that flows in locks, eyes like pools of onyx.
She's a trained pianist. Loves great music.
Owns a house in a nice neighborhood. Has a decent job.
Likes to ride bikes. Sounds awesome right?
She's got faults too, but I don't want to point any of that out. Yet....
Ok, so this thing keeps happening to her where she starts dating a guy and not long after they decide to stop seeing her. It's always them that stop dating her... Lame.
I'm a good friend of hers at this point. I dated her before, in the past. And yes, I stopped seeing her too, so um.... here's my question to you (e:peep)'lz of the world.
She sometimes asks me, "Why does this keep happening to me?", and I feel like I must know, having had been a guy who did it and a person who watched it happened over and over, but what do I do?
Should I tell her what I think?
Should I ignore it and hope that someday someone will be a kind enough man to her to help her through this stuff
Really who do I know? Pfft!?

I think I'm with Heidi. If you really are close friends, and you really want to help her- If you actually DO know why guys lose interest, or at least why you did, and it's something silly that she can fix, then maybe tell her that. You know "well, you're totally super awesome, but, well, you know the way you chew with your mouth open? That might kinda turn people off".
but if it's like "well, you're totally super awesome, but your voice is like nails on a blackboard, and, let's face it, you're totally psycho"... that might not go over so well. So in that case, yeah, I'd go with the "you're awesome. Guys are just stupid. You'll find the right guy someday, I know it!"

At first glance without knowing her or a pic, I would lean towards the whole (Guys are just intimidated by your vast accomplishments and just feel inferior to your life which is all put together. How can a guy measure up when you almost have it all. Or at least that was my first impression of her by your description.)
I just don't know really what to tell her as I have only recently gotten my "psychological" spur back but only since Loveline has come back to the local airwaves ;-)
I agree with (e:Tib), post a pic or lead her to this site to at least give it a coffee go of it with some of the (e:peeps) in a dry spell! ;-)

My blanket view on this matter: Girls don't want to hear the truth from any former mates. It just does not work out. If you think you are done being her friend, go ahead - spill it all out. Bear in mind that she will never be your friend again. There is no real or fake friendship on this one.
Relationships are the core of what it takes for humans to click. I can bet that she already 100% knows in heart what is exactly wrong. Probably is in some kind of denial. You will not help matters any if you tell the truth. You will just feel remorse and lose her as a friend.
Ignore. There is no point asking her if she can handle it or not. She cannot handle it because she asked you instead of searching herself.

I think this is what you should do, and there are some people I would tell to just shut up, and not say anything, but with speaking with you I don't have the right words but you are a very good speaker (At some party I remember you going on about the reasons to get high, and then going right into the reasons not to and it totaly made so much sense).
Ask her do you really want to know what I think and will you be able to handle the answer. Some times people think they want the answer but then can't handle it. If you think she really can handle it then you proced. You say something along the lines of I can't answer why people stop seeing you, I can only tell you what caused it with me. Again you can say how you are being honest and that is what a good friend does. Of course if she thinks that a good friend lies to help the friends feelings than you might get in a bit of trouble. Then go into what caused or why you stoped seeing her.
I see why you are kinda in a tough spot. I think it is worth the chance of losing her as a friend, if what you say will really help her out. But I also don't know what the issue is so I could be wrong there. I think though that you should tell her because she should know and it sounds like no one else is willing to do it......

You are friends, and she asked YOU for the reasons already mentioned. There could be 2 possibilities. Either she really is interested in knowing and wants to somehow grow from the knowledge. OR, she just wants to be justified in her own self and thinks you give her that justification and reassurance. If the latter is the case, it brings to mind the lyric "don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to". I say be honest (tactfully, obviously) and let the chips fall where they may. This is the exact difference between real friendships and fake ones.

heidi - 06/04/10 16:26
Do you know? Is there something that she does that kinda ends the relationship? I guess it depends on if it's a personality issue or a behavioral issue - kindly pointing out an alienating behavior could be a very good thing. Personality issue - not so easy. Alternately, does she attract guys that are unavailable and/or uncommitted? You're in a very difficult situation.

jason - 06/04/10 15:58
Wow, tough situation. See, if you are honest and she rejects what she hears you're going to be in big trouble. I don't know how many times now I've regretted not saying "There's nothing wrong with you, you're great and they're all fuckheads."

Prince of PersiaCategory: movies
Let's not forget that this is a kids movie put out by Disney and a video game movie to boot...or maybe we can turn a blind eye to that and enjoy it as a unique historical fantasy action movie. Which ultimately i feel like it was.
This movie was a spectacle to behold. There was so much action that those who lack enough attention span for cohesive plot to develop won't be caught twiddling their thumbs. It suffers from that fractured feeling that non animated kids movies sometimes have, still it was alarming well glued. Something that's a bit of a feat of storytelling if you ask me. They managed to pack as much action and as little story in as possible and there was a pretty well rounded message and plot still. Unbeknownst to some this film was based on a video game and gamers are notorious for wanting more action less story so it might suit them well.
I think Jyllenhall does a great job delivering some really tacky one liners that couldn't be spun as funny or witty to most, which I think is a necessary evil when making a film that's supposed to entertain Sponge Bob fans who honestly laugh at knock knock jokes.
I saw it with a friend, and after 20 minutes I wished I had Mya next to me so that I could vicariously enjoy it as well as I should through her. Maybe I will take her if it's like playing at a double feature drive in or something.
All in all I give it a 4 1/2 stars out of 5. Losing 1/2 a star only because the jumpiness that losses adults could have been more cleverly placed, but still being a fun enough action film with killing that I wouldn't wanna cover my kids eyes during. Yes see this not Iron Man if you have littles.
Go see this film if you've got littles that like adventure. Or if you love adventure tales, or historical fiction and magic your self.

I so want to see this movie. When I first saw the previews for it, it looked amazing. Then Just recently I found out it is based on a Video game. It looks like it falls into the Mummy, or Indy movies a bit. I didn't know it was a kids movie it looks to me like it will be very good, I hope to see it sat, assuming that is what I wind up doing........

Oh geeez.
Ok, after only a few hours of using this build of the OS I love my phone again, even though it's not an EVO. I think unless this crazy throw down with Sprint about my mom's phone goes better than expected I'm going to wait until other EVO level (and better) devices come to Sprint. I bet Motorola is hot on the trail of that EVO with something better. I think the Moto Sprint Droid is a much sterdier device than mine and I'm curious to see what they're going to do to answer to the EVO.
it's as snappy as it used to be, and its got all the new features and the updated OS so it's exactly what I wanted. It even has a few more bells and whistles that it didn't before that are really fun. Terry and Heidi came over last night and I noticed while we were talking that the bell sounds for the text message are perfect. I haven't quite explored the device just yet but I will and I'll make a real post about it.
Hope its better. Watching your phone the other day made me tired ;)
