The phone we forgot

By Shopping, Technology2 Comments

As you know I have recently been eyeing up a new phone for when my contract expires soon. I blogged about the latest phones and I decided on the iPhone.

The iPhone. Had quite a few things I wasn’t happy with (lack of bluetooth, no picture messages recieving or sending, etc.), but I thought I was going to have to pay over the odds and get used to not having these features.

However I forgot to consider the BlackBerry Storm! It has all the features I want including:

  • Touch-screen
  • QWERTY keyboard for writting text messages
  • Internet & Email
  • Good quality camera
  • So I spoke to friends, had a play with one and the verdict is: love it! Much better than the iPhone.

    So I shall have to get a move on, cancel my contract and switch providers with the fancy, sexy, wonderful BlackBerry Storm!

    Blog soon,

    Things I want, but can’t afford – update

    By Amazon, Books & Authors, Happiness & Joy, Shopping, Technology, TV, Online Streaming & Films2 Comments

    Hello All,

    A few months ago I posted about Things I wan’t, but can’t afford, so here’s an update on the Wishlist.

    1. iPhone – This is still a want! I am aware of it’s limitations (see phones) but it has some very nifty features too. I plan to upgrade to one shortly when my contract comes up for renewal.
    Got? NO

    2. Alan Carr – Look Who it Is! – I bought this as a gift to myself before Christmas. I have read it from cover to cover. A worth while read.
    Got? YES

    New Item:
    2. Kylie Live ‘X’ 2008 – A DVD of Kylie’s tour I was lucky to see at the MEN (see Thanks to the attractive stranger & Photos – Kylie X2008)

    3. Dawn French – Dear Fatty – Mum got it me for Christmas, in the process of reading at present.
    Got? YES

    New Item:
    3. French and Saunders – Still Alive DVD The DVD of French and Saunders last tour, again which I was lucky enough to see it and have the tour from 2000, so I need this to add to my collection.

    4. A Robot Hover – To escape the domesticated task I had this on my orignal list. However as I currently house-share, I couldn’t justify buying it for one room. So it is still on the list for if/when I move.
    Got? NO

    5. Silverwind – Magic for lovers – A book David and I looked at whilst shopping one day. I still fancy it as a easy read.
    Got? NO

    6. John Barrowman – Another Side (CD) – Downloaded this. He has a fantastic voice, I’m a big fan!
    Got? YES

    New Item:
    Nintendo Wii Console – These looks like good fun and seen as this is a wish list, I’d love one of these!

    7. Robbie Williams – Live At The Albert DVD – I once saw this at a friend of mines apartment, still want it. He is fantastic in it and soo camp in parts.
    Got? NO

    8. Bruce – How to Create a Magical Home – It is a beautiful book I am currently reading. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves their home and is a pagan.
    Got? YES

    New Item:
    8. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor DVD – This had many bad reviews. But David and I watched it and I really enjoyed it. Defo, one I want to add to my DVD collection some day.

    9. Western Digital My Book 1TB – I still need one of these for my increasly cluttered computer. Bless it.
    Got? NO

    10. Ice CreamMaker – Nobody bought my justification for wanting this. I quote (from my post Things I wan’t, but can’t afford):

    My justification for this being on the list is that, if I bought it I could make healthy ice cream (yeah right! ha ha.).

    I suppose I would be able to make ice cream using sweetner rather than sugar. Now wouldn’t I be a healthy diabetic? It would be diabetic ice cream (that doesn’t have a laxitive effect).

    Got? NO

    11. The Wizard of Oz DVD Still need to purchase this before I can call myself a gay man (reminds me of that Catherine Tate line: “He’s a gay man now da”).
    Got? NO

    12. Will and Grace: Complete Series 5 DVD Boxset – My older brother usually buys me this for Christmas. But this year he bought me an Science Museum Retro Space Hopper and Science Museum – ATM Bank which are even better.
    Got? NO

    Aditions:
    13. John Barrowman – Anything Goes (Auto Biography) – Continuing my love for John.
    Got? NO

    14. John Barrowman – Music Music Music (CD) – His latest CD.
    Got? NO

    So there it is, your update! It’s nice to make a list of material things you want and tick them off as you get them.

    What do you have on your Things you want, but can’t afford list? Leave comments below.

    Write soon,

    Beautiful me & beautiful things

    By Life, ShoppingNo Comments

    I have been made beautiful again by the wonderful hair dressers. I haven’t had my hair cut for about two and a half months and was beginning to look like cousin IT out of the Adams Family. Look at my lovely new hair:

    I have been having a really relaxed week off so far. The dreaded styes (see A mad week!) I have been given anti biotics for but also diagnosed that I have a small cyst in one of them. I shall be seeing a specialist about them shortley.

    But back to all things beautiful… I have also purchased this beautiful stone oil burner from Shared Earth. I have had to put a full size image here to show it’s true beauty:


    (It’s also the pagan symbol representing the Tripple Goddess)

    An Update on the David Situation
    We where lucky enough to see each other last night. We have discussed somethings, but are still unclear on the future. We shall hopefully spend some more time together at the weekend.

    Take Care,

    Antony
