Apr. 7th, 2006 03:27 pmStill bored. About to go to bank with pay cheque and have an urge to spend money on something totally pointless, possibly an mp3 player thingy.
I know very little about these creatures and yet I want one (possibly to relieve some work boredom).
Can't really buy any more books or dvds, because the queue of Unread/unwatched is getting too long to add to. Will have to be careful in the tack shop later, must NOT buy new horse stuff.
Any suggestions?
ETA I decided that, since the place I mostly listen to music is in the car, the mp3 thing can wait. So I bought a DS instead. A blue one! With PUPPIES OMG.
Also, peering at the sale in Sony, I very sensibly decided buying a new camera would be silly if they could just fix the old one. So I asked how much. £52 in labour + £40 'booking fee'. So thats AT LEAST £92 quid to fix a camera that only cost about £130 2 years ago.
The newer, smaller, more pixelly, all round better ones now cost about that. Hmm.

In fact, I want a new laptop.
I'm so bored I think I am just about to go insane. PS: MASSIVE hail shower in Ballymena. That's how bored I am.

I also second the Nintendo DS suggestion, it is an excellent toy - if you get it, I recommend Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney particularly :D

I'd recommend a creative zen over an ipod - they always seem to be a spot above tech wise :)
