I have the Nexus One. Which is nice. But its camera speed is from the paleolithic ages. Well, I think things might actually have been faster back then since they always had to outrun some wild beast or other; forget standing there and trying to shoot a honey badger with a Nexus one.
It takes such an E.T.E.R.N.I.T.Y for the camera to fuss through and get ready to finally take shot. Fast moving targets are a complete impossibility.
For instance, I just saw the creepiest life-size nativity scene right in the middle of nowhere somewhere in the middle of NY state, intentionally placed (I am sure) to appeal to the Godless heathen who take the train.
Well, this Godless heathen was unable to take a shot and share the creepinessl! No thanks to slow slow slow camera technology from Nexus One.
Arrrrgh.

That is nice. The plane had wireless but it was $7.95/day or $22/month. I didn't think it was worth it on the way here because I realized too late but I am pretty sure I will get it on the way back.
The Rio hotel also had wireless but it was $13/day for the room or $22/day for room and casino. What a fucking rip off.
The internet in Vegas is so slow. Its unbelievable what a better situation we are in being in a smaller, less populated city.

Savoy Stir Fry!Category: eating in
I made something close to perfection after a million unintentional stews. Not that I hate stews. I love stews and soups but still the lack of moisture control in my recent cooking was starting to annoy me.
Savoy Cabbage
Yellow peppers
Jalapeños and HOT chillies - a very generous gift from (e:Terry)'s wonderful chillie plants
Roasted caramelized tomatoes
Caramelized onions
Ginger
My own spice mix with a cardamom shot. (I need to figure out how I made this batch, it's so good and I have no idea what I put in because I made it in a very distracted way over a week).
Red peppers
Zucchini
Turmeric powder
All stir-fried in a tsp extra virgin olive oil - (e:Paul), that oil rocks. I am tempted to buy that bottle off you!!

Fortnightly readsCategory: the odes
Things have reached a rather bad state when these three documents are your only regular fortnightly anticipated reads.
1. Walgreens Chocolate mania.
2. Random Pricerite ogling.
3. Coop Bulk Food craziness.
{The coop is 20 minutes away, which is also a bit of dealbreaker for me. Grocery shopping is a time-eater on days I am struggling to find extra time.}
I wish Guercio's were not a complete 2.1 miles away. I know that's not much when you drive or even bike but it takes me 30 minutes to get there. Once I do, it's hard not to linger and buy a ton of awesome things and carrying or carting all of it back takes more than 40 minutes. That's a good 2-4 hours down the drain. I just cannot afford the time.

The nice part about the bus is that you could read on it vs walking where you have to pay attention to where you are going.

Oh! I see why you suggested that. I was reflecting that instead of reading fun articles and doing other leisure reading, these flyers are the materials I read nowadays. :) I am not complaining about my grocery choices... though I wish Guercio's were nearer. I absolutely don't miss Tops or Wegmans even a single bit. Guercio's is a different story. :)

Isn't that even more time consuming?! Waiting for buses ruins it for me. The whole idea of a neighbourhood grocery is to be able to walk to it without a secondthought. And yes, I do like going to pricerite... a LOT.

I'm not you but your best bet I think (not sure how it runs) is to walk down to Delaware catch that bus out to the Target plaza and go to tops then walk what is a long block catch the Delaware bus back..... Or maybe even see what the target has depending on what you are getting.... I go to pricerite but don't really like to.....

The is no such thing as a creepy Nativity Boo! BOO!..... Ha Guessing someone owns land so they like did something up they all ready had......
That was ny biggest problem with that phone. I probably would have kept it longer if the camera didn't suck so much. I missed photographing so many cool things because if the latency.
It wasn't specifically a problem with that phone but that era of phones. Its been 60 years in mobile phone years since that phone came out. Doesn't your googbro have a nexus s for you now that the new one came out?
