It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been meaning to make a post about some new things that I've bought, but I always push it off. Now, they're not really new anymore, but I decided to make a post about them anyway.
First off is my new bowling ball, a Brunswick Vapor Zone:
After buying my Brunswick BVP Nemesis a long time ago, I told myself to avoid buying more bowling balls, Unfortunately, I was at my favorite pro shop one day, and they told me that they were having a sale on bowling balls... almost all balls $100 or less. I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to get a Vapor Zone for $100. It's only about $20 less than normal price, but it was enough to get me to purchase one. The good thing is I don't regret my purchase one bit.
See, the Vapor Zone provides what's called a "benchmark" reaction. It doesn't hook too little, and it doesn't hook too much. It's right in the middle, so it's a ball that you can use on a variety of different lane conditions. Of course, extremely dry or oily lanes cause problems, but that's why it's called a "benchmark" reaction... You can judge the lane condition by the reaction you get out of your benchmark ball, and decide whether to change or not.
Besides my go-straight plastic spare ball, the two other balls in my arsenal are a Brunswick BVP Nemesis and a Brunswick Intense Inferno. The Nemesis handles oily lanes, and the Intense Inferno is for dry lanes. So, I got the Vapor Zone to fit right in the middle. Quite honestly, I haven't had a need to pull the other two balls out ever since I got the Vapor Zone. The VZ gives me such a sweet reaction on every type of lane condition I've played on.
The other new thing I got was a new cell phone:
I got the Samsung SGH-A707 from AT&T. I was getting bored with my Motorola V220, and the camera stopped working, so I wanted to upgrade to a newer phone. I had the V220 for a few years, so upgrading to the A707 was a huge leap. The A707 has soooo many more features, and I've spent a lot of time playing with them and getting accustomed to the new phone.
Quite honestly, though, I'm not really much of a phone person. I have very few friends around here, so I don't spend a lot of time talking on the phone and sending messages to people. So, I mostly use a cell phone's extra features like the camera, games, and videos. Unfortunately, when my V220's camera broke, I barely ever used it. The games on the phone were crappy, and the video player was next to useless because the phone had a really small amount of internal memory.
Once I upgraded to the A707, I began playing with my phone again. As you can see in the picture, the wallpaper is the Gatas Brilhantes H.P. logo. I've set the ringtone to AAA's Friday Party. The message tone is a JR announcement, complete with the cute little attention-grabbing tone in the beginning. Also, I've loaded up a video of AAA's Champagne Gold performance from 3rd Attack. The phone has fun games, and the camera is fun to play with, especially since it can record video.
Maybe I should take more pictures and videos for this blog. We'll see...
