spoiled chinese girl

a.k.a. I still don’t really want a smart phone.

Well, first go here and sponsor my friend George: http://bit.ly/cmHcU1

Even when I have to play within the rules of the department of redundancy department to get my point across.

My phone doesn’t connect to the internet (well it’d probably cost me 50 cents per kilobyte), I can’t e-mail photos from my phone to my e-mail (probably the same charge). I can’t even connect my phone to my computer (the software doesn’t support my phone anymore).  My phone isn’t that old. It’s like.. 4 or 5 years or something? Maybe that is old these days. Who knows.

Anyways, the only way I can easily do this is to take a photo with my Motorola Razr. Go home, Fire up my Nikon Coolpix S10 to Macro, take a photo of the Razr’s screen, then import the photos to Picasa.  Which is what I did below.

Erm, I was talking about vehicles wasn’t I?

So around the time Camera guy got his motorcycle I was super duper thinking I should get my license too. I’d wanted to for years, even if I didn’t get a bike, and even though it felt like I was copying. Til I remembered my mom would kill me (and yes, I still live at home ) and never bothered. But I kept hearing all the good about gas milage and this that and the other.  Although, comparing his bike’s published milage against my Honda Fit, I actually calculated that it should be just about even, depending on driving/riding styles.

And tonight I noticed this:

This would be the number of kilometers my car drove since the last time I filled up, to when I hit the gas station, about 10km into the little fuel light going on. (Both highway and city… and rush-hour driving.)

This would be how much it cost me to fill up my tank. The automatic stopper actually stopped me about 50 cents before but I try to get rounded numbers.  I could actually have put a little more gas in… but didn’t really want to bother.

Yeah… I might still want to fulfill a lifelong dream/fantasy of owning a motorcycle… but fuel efficiency is no longer going to be one of the driving factors. Heh. Get it? Driving?

Well, it’s probably just as bad as my “no, nothing earth shattering” punny after the earth quake that I felt at work yesterday.
