Yesterday

for their free application of the day, Amazon.com had the new Android version of 'Plants vs. Zombies' for download. Since I'd heard great things about it, I got it, but then realised it was a wi-fi download only because it's a big file. I don't normally have access to wi-fi--my house is not wireless, and with the bus I couldn't just drive somewhere that had one. I got off the bus about 9:40 pm, and I after taking some items to the book drop, I decided to try standing outside the closed library and use their wi-fi to download it. It was a poor signal, but it did work, although it took about 20 minutes to download. Thank goodness the police didn't come up to ask why I was loitering. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work on my phone--it goes to a blank screen, maybe plays music, and then shuts down. :( At least I didn't pay for it.

Today's free program was Pac-Man. I got that and it's fun, although on my phone the very top doesn't show up properly, probably because I have a smaller screen than most Android phones. But since I know what they look like, I can get around it. Still, these are the first two I've had any real trouble with.

The one game I can't figure out at all is Abduction 2. Yeah, I know you move the phone back and forth to make the cow hit the various levels to jump on. I only knew that from watching a review on YouTube, though. I didn't see any real help, but maybe I didn't look hard enough. The point is, I suck at that game, majorly. Even on the kids' level I fall, I just don't die because it's the kids' level. I've made it through one level on the classic mode. But I get a bit better each time. I'm up to the 65th level of a bubble shooting game, though. :) I only have a few games on the phone; most of the applications are actually useful things.
