Nov. 3rd, 2010 01:07 pmSince Glee was a repeat last night, was flicking through the channels and remembered the existence of that new "Tower Prep" show on cartoon network (even though its not a cartoon!) Its an interesting show, the premise seems similar to the "Morning Glories" comic series that started up a few months ago. But it looks like I've missed a couple of eps already, and they ddon't appear to be online.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't so anal/slightly O-C. I've mentioned how much I love my new phone, but often I think I have too much freedom on how to set up the screens. I mean, I'm not crazy for thinking the screens should be organized with a theme in mind, right? Like on my home screen, I have the weather and calendar widgets running, so when I unlock my phone, I can see what the weather is like outside and be reminded of any thing I might have going on. Of course, I've also thrown in icons of the things I'd use the most so they're right there without me having to swish to another screen. Obviously, I have text messaging and gmail and contacts there, as well as miso and 4squre and a notepad and terminal app. So that's pretty much full up.
Then I have a screen that's just widgets for twitter and facebook, and a "navigation/utility" screen consisting of programs having to do with navigation, the flashlight program, etc. Then there's my media screen, which consists of youtube and programs having to do with the camera and music playage. And finally, there's the settings/"office-ish" one, with programs having to do with monitoring my account/phone status, as well as stuff like the built in translation and quick office programs, scientific calculator, etc.
I think its logical to group things together for ease of use. Though it drives me totally crazy when it the icon layout on the screen ends up non-symmetrical or no useful pattern at all. I mean, each screen can be broken down into a 4x4 grid, and when it can't be divided into a pretty layout, it just bugs me. Like if there were 9 icons, you'd have one just sitting there all unsightly and ruining the aesthetic. So then you have to re-arrange things to not only look more pleasing, but still make sure there's a unifying connection between all the programs on the screen. Because as much as I'd like to keep things symmetrical, it would irk me just as much to have a program or two that has nothing in common with the other programs on the screen. That just wouldn't make sense!
