The end of Potter

Let me start by saying this - I haven't read a Harry Potter book, ever. KC, on the other hand, was a different story.

So I was not excited when the mailman delivered the last installment of the series earlier this morning to the house. Instead, I was still in bed, enjoying this cool Saturday morning, Matmat still asleep.

I opened up the package, and there is was. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I immediately called KC to tell her that her book was here. I teased her a little by reading a few lines from the first chapter and asked her if she wanted me to look at the last chapter to see if Rowling indeed killed off Harry (as rumours have said she might do).

Needless to say, she told me it's not funny of me teasing her like that.

I guess I have to take care of Matmat every night until KC finishes her book. But she promised that she will read one chapter a day in order to fully enjoy it. Let's see.

My iPhone dilemma

Ok, here's the deal. I have an iPhone sitting ever so comfortably on my desk unopened. I asked KC to pick one up from the AT&T store at the mall a couple of days ago and still it hasn't been opened. I keep rationalizing the purchase ($650 with tax) which I am ok with but the deal of paying 60 bucks PLUS taxes for 2 years got me thinking. THAT is a lot of moolah.

So here on my desk, a still sealed, unopened iPhone is sitting oh so comfortably. Making me uncomfortable. I have 14 days to decide if i want to keep the phone and swallow the $60 a month for two years just to have a cool phone, which I read from reviews isn't that great anyway, with a lot of missing features - it doesn't even to MMS or record video (gasp!).

For the same price, I can pick up a Nokia N95 which does a lot more than the iPhone, won't lock me to a carrier AND is unlocked!

All this and I don't even need a new phone! I have a perfectly functioning Blackberry Pearl.

Oh technology, why do you tempt me so.
