$$$$

I recently broke my blackberry and was trying to replace it when I found out that it is really expensive to replace. I was looking everywhere for a cheap one, but they ranged from 399.99 to 200.00 dollars. I paid thirty dollars to get the phone and a monthly bill. I think it is insane that phone companies can charge so much for phones, because they are an everyday nessesity. Luckly, one of my friends had a pretty new blackberry, but it was not updated with the new apps and such like my other one was. I feel like a brat wanting the other one, but I cannot afford to replace my phone by buying a three hundred dollar phone.

I was going to get one on EBAY, but I have done that before and got a phone that was programed in chineese and didn't even turn on. I don't trust craigslist, ebay, and those other online deal sites. Technology is stealing my money!!!! :(

Box Office Predictions

Last night was the premere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part I. The Box Office is predicting this film to sell around $129,000,000. This is the much anticipated final film of the series, Part I. The film came out last night at midnight and tickets were sold out everywhere. I looked up tickets two weeks ago and the entire weekend at the Reading IMAX theater was sold out. I am looking forward to this film, because I have read and seen every film in theater.

The Worst...

Today I put my laptop on my printer waiting for it to print out a paper, when in slow motion it fell three feet. The screen was star-burst and I immediately brought it to the apple store to get it fixed. I felt like I was instantly disconnected to the world and had no idea what I was going to do. After having a mini breakdown I gathered my self and hiked it to the mall. I do have apple care, which is insurance, but obviously it doesn't cover physical damage. To fix the screen it's $300. I can honestly say I don't take car of my expensive personal belongings like I should. I don't know about you guys, but do you sometimes feel like this?

Online Shopping

I have an addiction to online shopping.... Ever since I  got my credit card I spend like crazy. I would have so much money if I didn't spend it all on clothes and food. I wish BSU offered a class to help students learn how to invest their money and save. I need to learn how to live on a budget and asap, because Christmas shopping is about to begin!!!

Harry Potter

I grew up reading and watching Harry Potter. I can't believe that the movie phenomenon is almost over, because we have been seeing these movies since 2000. That's an entire decade of Harry Potter movies. I read the first book when I was in second grade!!! Now as a 21 year old I still am pumped to see the newest movie. Do you think there will ever be another book series that takes over an entire generation?

p.s. Don't say twilit, because those are chick books! haha

Stumble Upon

I have an addiction to Stumble Upon! If you have never tried it I highly suggest it, because it is so interesting and informative. Personally I love cooking, baking, and learning new recipes, which Stumble Upon provides for me. You can literally learn or find information about everything, but mainly hobbies such as photography, shopping, science, books, history, and so much more. Whenever I am using the site I find myself looking at different websites for hours. The website has changed somewhat by requiring its users to sign up via Facebook or just on the site with an email. If you have a boring class that you have nothing to do in and need to pass the time I suggest this website!!!

on to the next one

As most of you know Limewire is gone forever. The site was shut down and is under investigation for sharing files. I personally am a huge Limewire fan and it has never deceived me. Personally I can't afford the itunes cost and live on the edge by downloading illegal music. It wrong I know and illegal, but you gotta do what you gotta do....

Does anyone else use Limewire, and if so what are you going to do now?
