I Wanty Wanty Wanty 3

I have stopped hyperventilating now, so I can type the keyboard whilst I sip down a gin and prune smoothie to calm my nerves. Introducing the Nooka Zub, a glow in the dark watch made exclusively for the conclusion of the Kanye West 'Glow in the Dark' tour. The will only be, *deep breath and gulp* 15 made and Kanye himself will find most these babies a home on a spoilt wrist somewhere. What plop I say, surrrre there will be 15 now but then their will be 30 more, then 300 then ooh we set up a website selling theses babies and before I know it the homeless guy outside my building will be wearing one. He already has a taste for Missoni, kid you not.
Sigh, I am off to top up my smoothie and find another way to read time when I am locked in a bank vault.

I wanty wanty wanty!

I is hyperventilating after confirmation that the iPhone is FINALLY coming to Australia, through Optus, 3 and Vodafone. I have been obsessed since I snatched one out of the hand of a Neighbours actor at a function, stroking it slowly and muttering "me need this" and "my preciousssssh". For me, whose iPod has seen better days and my mobile phone spends more time searching for a network than ringing, the amalgamation of both units would be a techies dream come true. One thing though, if you are listening to music on an iPhone and it rings, are you totally deafened by the ring tone shrieking straight into your ear drum?

Cords!

"Oh poo. This is the last time i buy a cordless hairdryer!"

Recently in my musings, i have noticed that i am slowly being swallowed by cords. Cords for my iPod, cords for my digi camera, 2 for my mobile, for my computer, for my electric toothbrush! this does not include the numerous power cables and headphone cords that cause me to screech in frustration late at night. These cords, that must slither across the room as i doze, dreaming of an uncomplicated life, to mate and in tangle themselves in an orgy of unused electronic wires and rubber. So much so when i go to use one of these cords, they are tangled into a hellish knot that defies reason and requires more effort to solve than a Rubik's cube or the Paris Metro. Many a night i have sat, brow furrowed, trying to liberate my iPod USB cord from it marriage to my camera recharge unit. I have horrible thoughts that one morning i will awake and have to fight my way through a sea of wired and cords, much akin to the pit of snakes in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I want one super cord that plugs into everything, a UNI cord. That charges all electronic toys, that come in a neat retractable container. It would even be great if it could change my sheets and find my lost keys as well.

Worst. Headphones. Ever!!!!

Loathe I am to bash a product online, I have to say to all those who can listen, NEVER ever to buy these headphones! I had to buy these after my original iPod ear buds gave up the ghost on only one side. So after a week of feeling rather lopsided, I gave in and bought these Apple Earphones (see attached BOO!!!)
I am rather missing the mono headphones now, these headphones are not only tinny, have the bass of a flea fart and need to be driven so far into your skull to work you are in serious danger of having to go to the emergency room if you turn around too fast.
The real rub is these are more expensive than the original earphones! Can you believe it? I get more dynamic bass from hitting a cheesecake with an unpeeled banana.
On a good note, a lovely lady at JB HiFi said I can bring them in for a credit.
