I'm not sure what to do. I just (forty minutes ago) finished watching Catching fire the second movie in the Hunger Games trilogy. It was as good or better than the first one, Hunger Games. Though you have to see the third because this movie doesn't have an ending like the first one did. Over all it left me with a good feeling but, now Katniss Everdeen (this main character) has to go to war. This kind of pisses me off. I can so completely identify with Katniss. In the first movie she has to fight to save her little sister. In this movie she has to fight because the (evil) President Snow is going to kill everyone she loves if she doesn't. I'm going to leave it there because it gets to complex for me to write about. Watch the movies, their violent but, are worth your time.

Okay, I got my new Samsung today (yesterday it's 03:08 on the 15th). It's an eight inch. I might have a little trouble thumb typing once I get it in a case. It's about half way set up with all of the important software installed. Only two games.
It's 14:58 and I've been at this for since 06:00 though I did have a short enforced nap. Aside from Just general playing I've been setting up the apps (note later on apps). I only have two games on here so far, Domino! (I've played one game) and 250+ Solitaire. I play these two the most.
I can now move apps to my SD card. A bonus even though I now have 16 GB instead of 8 GB of on-board storage. The one I got, a SM-T3100ZWAXAC according to the box, doesn't show up on the US Samsung web site. However, when I Google my model number I get Samsung's Canadian site that lists a SM-T310, which is also on the back of the unit itself. I have found a pdf manual there that seem to be the right one. Other wise every thing seems to be alright.
While the some people have begun to think of apps as being like widgets or some kind of small program, the word apps is just short for applications. I think Apple started it with the App Store in iTunes, though I'm not sure. Applications are full blown programs. Granted on tablets and phones they are usually smaller with fewer features than the ones on desktop computers. I was at Office Depot one day and said to guy I wanted to move programs to my SD card on an Android. He said something like "I don't know about moving programs but, I don't know of any Androids that can move apps to an SD card." He was wrong on two counts most if not all apps are programs. Widgets are programs, their just very small simple programs. Also you have been able to move apps to an SD card on a number of Androids for some time now.
I was thinking while I was typing those last two paragraphs that I should rename my blog so it includes something about computer use.

I've done it now. I started my own Google+ community. Trauma is Trauma: the full spectrum including PTSD. In part I think I did it must to see if I could. Not the physical process. That's easy for me. Doing the up keep. Checking on it every day. Finding out if this is another way I can communicate with people. I maybe I'll find out I can't do it. Maybe I'll find a calling of some kind. I do know I won't find out if I don't try.
When I was at Spring Road (DC Mental Health Commission) there was a social worker who, when I said I was was going to go to The Center said "Bobbie you tried The Green Door and it didn't work. You tried UDC and that didn't work. Why do you think this will work." All I could say is "I don't know, maybe it won't but, I'll never find out if I do 't try."
Some how a long time ago I figured out it's alright to stop doing things you're not good at but, if you don't try to do anything all you can do is nothing.
My internet speed just fell through the floor. Very frustrating!.
I'm beginning to spend too much time on Google+. Not really but, I need to keep an eye on it.
I just found out that I will be receiving the case and screen protector I ordered for Andi (my new Samsung I decided Andi is a girl) tomorrow (Mon. the 17th). This is very good. I love new toys. Even, maybe especially, if other people don't understand they are toys. It's not just Little, though she just gets a kick out of them, or 12 year old (12 year old needs a better name), I Big me really enjoys figuring them out. Making them work and, work right. Not to be confused with correctly. Correctly is good but, right means more than that.

I just wrote something very interesting. "I'm close to being happy with my life." I never really thought I would say something like that but, it's true. We live in a screwy world today. Yet, I have my little nitch where the world leaves me alone for the most part. As I said after that amazing line. "What more can I ask."
I kind of got lost for a few hours there but just after I had written that last paragraph I had the following, more or less, show up in my e-mail. Talk about a real bring down. However, I said what I said and it stands.

I seem to have found a kindred spirit On Google+. graeme russell elis (his lack of capitalization) he's an Auzzie and a moderator on the Natura Principia a community owned by Dejan Koedoski. He posted a Escheresque drawing. His commented something about subjective perception. Which of course got me off on an esoterical jag. Which brought up möbius strips. Now he would like me to do a möbius strip post. I'll work it out when I get home from Jeanne's.
