It’s that time of year again! I’ve been so sick for a bit over a week now. I’ve had a cough, sore throat, a stuffed up nose, a fever, and just generally being achy all over and fatigued. I am nearly over it now, but I am still feeling the effects of it, and still have the remainder of a cough and some sinus issues. Yuck. I am just feeling pretty icky.
Last month, I ordered a super cool shell from skin it, remember?
Well, I decided that since skinit has never made with the badness before, I could totally try again. I mean, it can’t be terrible twice, right? Right! So I went on the shell maker thing again and made this:
Now it’s not the prettiest, but it’s very…me! And personally, I like me. So I had it printed and was excited because I figured that they really couldn’t mess this one up! It came today and I was excited and a bit nervous to open it, here it is:
It’s still cute, but why is it purple? ugh. Oh well. I guess skinit is just bad at pink? I don’t think I’m going to try this again though.
Now, I don’t normally bag on vista, but after having it for a while, I’ve noticed one thing I really really hate, and it is this button. I don’t really remember what the middle button did in XP, but I know it wasn’t this. Sometimes I am browsing through my photos, maybe deleting some, or looking for something specific. This probably means I’m using the forward button and maybe sometimes even the back button. Sometimes however, I accidently hit this dumb middle button. You know what this does? First, it freezes my whole computer for roughly 3 seconds. Then, my screen goes black. Then, It scrolls through every picture in that folder slowly. And is difficult to exit. Stupid slideshow button. Go away. No one likes you.
Let me preface this by saying that I know this isn’t really T-mobile’s fault, I just used the title for the alliteration.
Recently I got a sidekick shell from T-mobile through skinit. Since I have a Sidekick 2008, I can have replacement shells not just skins or snap on rubber things. Anyway, the shells are custom and printable. Now, I’ve gotten things from skinit before and been perfectly content. This time however, it was a complete disaster.
My friend John made me this really awesome picture as a desktop awhile ago. I love this picture, and I thought to myself, “how cool would it be to have a shell for my phone with this picture on it!” “Really Cool,” I answered. So I set about making a shell using skinit’s on site custom shell maker.
This is the picture in question, of course it was larger, much higher quality, and without silly text over it.
It’s a lovely picture, and I really do enjoy it oh so much. So I was excited to get the shell made. I went through everything and got it all made and this is the preview of what the shell would look like as shown to me as a confirmation upon checking out:
“I love it,” I say as I admire my handiwork. I give myself a big pat on the back and congratulate myself on my genius idea and place the order. I go about my merry way for about 3 weeks before I start to get really antsy and wonder where my wonderful sidekick shell is. Soon after that it shows up at my door. I’m excited, so ridiculously excited.
Until I open the package. What could possibly be wrong? This:
It is purple. Did anyone else notice? It’s purple? How did the picture that I made it out of, which turned into my lovely preview picture, get printed as that? Let me assure you, the coloring in that picture is correct. How does this happen? I’m so seriously upset over this. Sadly the paper I got with it amd the T-mobile/skinit sidekick shells site says that they don’t do refunds or exchanges for their custom shells, so I doubt that contacting them will do any good, but I will try. It just seems like a really terrible mistake to be made.
Videos from 4th of july!
I also have some pretty cool pictures up on my facebook.
I had quite a bit of fun watching the fireworks. Drew took the pictures, I gotten eaten by bugs. Yeah, lotsa fun. right.
