Crackberry Anonymous…

Lifestyle

So.. I reached a point where its time to break up with my phone. I will gladly admit that I'm addicted to my phone and its always within reach.. But after this weekend, I realize maybe I shouldn't gladly admit that. The Event: A slip and fall in the shower that resulted in bruising of my arm and a broken towel rack. Blackberry was ringing and I wanted to see who it was. Part of this anxiousness to see who it was, was due to the fact I was hoping it was a certain gentleman caller (it was not). So not only did I still answer the phone after the slip - while hanging half out the tub- it wasn't a fully gratifying conversation. So now, I not only have…

Dear Apple,

Lifestyle

Can we please lower the price of the iPad? I'm not saying you have to lower it to the prices of a Kindle or Nook, but can we idk, drop the price to about $350 for the base model and $450 for the 16 gig + 3g? This would greatly aid me in my quest to own an iPad. Yours Truly, Cleo xoxo

Welcome to the new (texting) era

Lifestyle

When I work out at the gym, I like to get a treadmill between 2 TVs. I like one screen to have CNN American Morning on and the other to have Good Morning America? Why? I feel like I'm getting both my national and local news all in one shot. Being that there is no sound, I don't feel like one is interrupting the other. I can get the headlines I want to go look into further at work. So, the point of this was there was a CNN story this morning was about texting addictions and teens. 3/4 of 12 to 17 year olds have cellphones, up from 45 percent in 2004. That is RIDIC in my opinion. WOW!! The average teen is sending 50 texts a day. Girls,…

Life without Internet!

Lifestyle

Life without the internet is torture. Yes, I said it! I can live without cable, and I can live without phone, but the internet? Never! Maybe its because everything on TV can be found online, and probably first too! Or maybe its the whole, "I'm living in a time of instant gratification" idealogy that we've grown so accustomed to? Either way, the truth of the matter is that this. I, Cleo Sunshine, have a firm addiction to the internet. It's usefulness is beyond measure. My sanity is dependent upon my connection to the world wide web. Oh, and make no mistake, not just any internet will do. I have spent the last few days vying for signal on an open network somewhere in my development, its unreliable-ness is just as…

LeToya New Video – Regret

Lifestyle

Oohh!! I found LeToya's new video over on Necole Bitchie, and I love it! I said when I did the review of her album that I liked this song, Regret f. Luda (he who can do no wrong) Cris. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLN4sDVHPeM&feature=player_embedded I think what I like most is that its the same guy from her She Ain't Got video. I enjoy when actors carry over through videos, it kind of makes me think I'm watching their lives actually happen, LOL! No, but seriously, same dude! httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUvRKVHJnc8

New ways to scam college students!

Lifestyle

Newest Scam for college kids: being target for "illegal downloads. " An apparently bogus collections agency that sent out letters to Bucknell students demanding $500 to settle the students' alleged illegal downloads. Seriously! That's crazy. Imagine that 10 people actually paid that $500. That's an easy 5k for some scammer. TAX FREE!!! And who is really going to contest that email they get about illegally downloading something? Scam!! It's a scary word and a scary practice. Scammers are ruthless, they don't care how they get you, as long as they get you. And as time goes on, those scams just get more elaborate. Other scams for college Student's are pretty common: Fake scholarship promises, crazy student loans, diploma mills, and other websites that sell you cheating supplies (which is just…

Cleo Reviews: Sims 3 – my ultimate distraction

Lifestyle

OK. I am so sorry for the lack of posts, I blame it on The Sims 3. Ever since I got that game I have been glued to it! It's so bad, I even travel with it! I have it installed on my laptop and on a desktop at Mr. B's house. Bad.. So being that I've spent so much time getting attached to this game - its been a month already- I can give you my quick review. I wish I knew how to make those cute Youtube Sim videos to give you an idea of my Sims. They are adorable. Well, besides that one funny looking daughter (we'll just ignore her today! LOL). Pros: It's really true, your Sims really can do so much more than they…

Sims 3: PUSHED BACK!!!!

Lifestyle

OH NO! I heard this weekend that Sims 3 wasn't being released until June. I knew this was a lie, because all the information I had said Febuary. So imagine my shock when I found out it indeed was pushed back. I am fuming angry! I was ready for some new Sim-adventures!!!BLOODY HELL!! I found this info on another blog, simworldnews, that they are pushing it back for better marketing. BLASPHEMY I tell you! This is wretched (this is my new favorite word). I probably wasn't going to actually buy the Sims for a few months because of budget reasons, but I wanted to read about it, talk to others who played it, and pretty much oogle it and give them time to work out any kinks. I'm extremely sad.…

The Sims 3 – My next obsession

Lifestyle

During the summer I was browsing the EA website and saw that in 2009 they would be releasing the Sims 3. For some, that's not big news, but to me-an avid Sim lover since they first came out, this was huge news. All I had to go on was that this one would give the user more control over their individual Sim and the neighborhood. Excited and Thrilled were not enough to cover my feelings. My roommates girlfriend is also an avid Sim'er so I broke the news to her and she was equally as excited. So, since the summer months, it has kind of been off my radar due to it not being released until 2009. Today, or yesterday, I received an email from EA offering a discount because…

Circuit City Don’t Decieve Me!!!

Lifestyle

Over the past few weeks there were articles about Circuit City closing 20% of their electronic stores. This made me sad. Circuit City was always my choice over Best Buy, maybe in part because where I grew up it was closer or because they are just a better store. I actually can't even say I've been inside a best buy, because I always seek out a Circuit City. Either way, they are cool with me. So the news made me sad. I felt bad for the employees that would lose jobs, and the monopolization that would occur in the market if Best Buy is left standing alone, because no one shops at Six Ave Electronics, they aren't as cool. They don't even sell DVDs and stuff. So, imagine my disappointment…

Can We Talk For a Minute??

Lifestyle

I always knew i was attached to my devices. My cellphone, computer, ipod or anything else that was small and portable. Needless to say I felt completely disconnected from the world when my laptop was on the fritz for a few weeks a couple of months ago. Sure internet can be accessed via cell phones, work computers or even using my roommates computer. But everything ceases when your own personal computer is gone, or at least for me it did. Goodbye to free music downloads. I can't tell you how sad it made me not being able to download anything new or update my ipod. Do you know how disheartening it is not to be able to add new songs to a playlist? To see how many play counts a…
