- Wed, 13:05: Post-Christmas shopping with mom!
- Wed, 17:16: Body Shop is discontinuing some of my favorite things! ;_; So I grabbed a bunch of clearance stuff and used my 8 point gift.
- Wed, 20:42: Febreeze seemed to work on residual skunk smell on carpet. Might replace it anyway as it's over 15 years old.
- Wed, 20:42: Also, my vacuum smelled like skunk after vacuuming, so I had to wash it wish soap. Ugh.
- Thu, 00:02: They added Teen Wolf season 2 to Netflix last month?! Time for a rewatch!

phone update

Verizon finally put out the Jelly Bean 4.1.1 update for the Samsung S3. I downloaded it with a bit of worry because you never know with these things.
After spending an hour downloading and then 5 minutes installing it, everything seemed okay. Mostly.
I still can't get alarms to vibrate. There's now no easy way to disable the shutter sound for the camera app. (You can set your phone to silent. Well, I can; doesn't seem to work for everyone.) I can't disable some of the stupid Verizon apps like Backup Assistant and Visual Voice Mail, neither of which I use.
On the plus side...it seems like Swype has stopped crashing in the Tumblr app when I add tags, which is awesome. So, one plus among some annoyances.
The battery was running a bit hot (91F versus usual 85F) but I figured that was just because I installed the update. I think that's right, since after about 2 hours, the temperature seems more normal.
Performance seems the same - not noticing slow downs so far. The next thing I'm going to have to keep an eye on is the battery.
There are a couple other weird things, but they just mostly mean I should back up my photos on to my hard drive and clear them out.
