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,

Christmas Specials

By Amazon, Books & Authors, Friends & Family, Happiness & Joy, Life, Music & Radio, Technology, TV, Online Streaming & FilmsNo Comments

Hi All,

I have loved the Christmas Specials on TV this year. They Have included Dr. Who, Gavin & Stacy, Royal Family, Wallace & Gromit.

Some of my gifts (off my loving family, friends & David) have included:
* Money and Vouchers
* DVD’s (including Dream Girls, The Muppets Christmas Carol, The Feeling Live, Merlin, P.S I Love You)
* Books (Psychic Party Games, Dear Fatty)
* And soo much more!

I would like to thank you all for these.

I also treated myself to a new HD-ready, 26″, LCD TV. It was about time as I had had my 14″ TV/Video since being fourteen years old.

So, I’ve done well.

With Love,

Antony

Phones

By Amazon, Life, TechnologyNo Comments

Let’s get technical and up-to-date people!

My old phone is messed up. Since dropping it in the bath it is not well. It clears off menu’s and texts and I can’t hear people the first time I call them. (Have to call them back!)

So lets look at the phones on the market and see what we think, eh?

Iphone by Apple
The apple iPhone is hot stuff! Unlimited real internet, loads of Apps, beautiful software, easy to use, touch screen, the works! It does lack the bluetooth feature (which is supprising as apple developed bluetooth), the ring and text alert cant be changed and the cameras not great quality.

G1 by Google
The G1 phone has a touch screen and real internet, but is more difficult to use and the Apps look less pretty. I don’t think I want this one. It looks cheap, despite it’s cost.

N96 by Nokia
The N96 has a massive 16GB memory, sliding, brilliant camera. Most people can use nokia phones with ease (apart from me, who just can’t understand them!).

What do you think? You can comment on this blog by clicking the link, and then using the comment form.

For me, it will probably be the iPhone. I am aware of some of it’s limitations, but surely apps will be developed to combat these limitations?

Blog soon,

Antony
