apple consumerism & tv fangirlin’

March 5th, 2009

So, my 2yr mobile phone plan is finally up, and it turns out I’m eligible to get an iPhone as a upgrade. It’s an extremely enticing offer, since I reasoned that I’d just stay content with my current phone, mostly due to my present economic situation. However, I stand to get a pretty good tax return, so the option of iPhone just became more viable.

But, geez, I’m already looking to see if I can somehow get a MacBook Pro. It’s always important to count the cost of things, though. I already have an insane phone bill for how little I actually talk on it. I currently have 4,999 roll-over minutes, 480 of which expire in the next few days. Yeah.

I have a new favorite show: The Big Bang Theory. I saw one episode and the geek in me melted in squee.

Behold the awesomeness that is Sheldon Cooper:

That being said, Season 1 of the show is currently in my shopping cart on Amazon.com. :)

I also like The Mentalist quite a bit. I started watching it because I like Simon Baker (Something New). I watched the first two episodes of Dollhouse. The first ep was blah, the second still eh, but a bit more interesting. I’m not sold on Eliza Dushku’s performance. She seems really cool, but I don’t find myself investing in her character like I want to fully enjoy the show. Other shows I’m enjoying are Burn Notice and Leverage. Only seen two episodes of the latter, but I really enjoyed the chemistry of the cast, especially Parker and Hardison, and the finale had me hooked.
