The One Where She Takes Over the World

Okay, so I haven’t taken over the world. But it is not for lack of trying. There is this crazy little iPhone game that I can’t resist. It is called Wordsworth, and what is so fun about it is that you play other people. And, in my case, you often beat them. I am just the teensiest little bit competitive. (just a skoch)

When you win games, your VP, or vocab power, increases, and when you lose, it decreases. This VP amounts to a ranking of sorts, and the game is connected to the iPhone app Game Center, which lets you compete against a lot of other people. And as of this writing, my VP is 1643, and I am currently #23. IN THE WORLD. If you want to buy the app and play me, my UN (username) is Vixlove. But if you have a VP of under 1300, I won’t accept your game request. I have standards. Did I mention I am #23 IN THE WORLD? Just saying.

The Hipstamatic One

I am informed by my family that I am the only one that thinks this is cool... well, except for my nephew Sam who showed it to me to begin with. I take some pretty beautiful photos with my Canon camera. I never thought I would take many pictures with my iPhone, but with a five-megapixel resolution and the fact that it is always on hand, I actually use it a lot. And then, along came Hipstamatic. Hipstamatic is an app for the iPhone that has a collection of vintage “lenses,” “film” and “flashes” to choose from, in order to create a sort of 80s-era photo.

My family thinks they are lame, but I can’t help myself. I just love the vivid color. Or the desaturation. There is something about these photos that is just so... moody.

 

 

Is it just me?
