And there was shopping!
Dec. 28th, 2007 11:19 pmOkay so I caved and went to the shops to buy stuff, instead of purchasing things of Amazon and waiting impatiently for the post.
Didn't get what I originally wanted, though, as yeah. Much more expensive. I did give in and get High School Musical 2, but only because it's High School Musical 2! I've been waiting months for it! I also got John Barrowman's new album, as it was in the January sale (a high number of new releases were, which surprised me) - it's so cool! It's been on constant repeat for the past two evenings, and I think I will be putting it in my alarm clock to go to sleep to at night, it's so soothing.
Is it wrong that I keep picturing Torchwood/Doctor Who vids I could do to the songs, though? My first listen through, the ideas were just attacking me like rabid plot bunnies! *laughs*
I almost got Bruce Springsteen's new album too, as that was also marked down (See! It's not just 'cause it was John Barrowman!)...but that would go to explain why it was out of stock! *sighs* And I haven't seen it in the other stores since.
After that I went to a couple of other places and came away with some more Doctor Who DVDs, which were marked down to a wonderful £7 each, and copies of TransAmerica and Singing In The Rain (which I love as it reminds me of my time on a Media Studies course, which touched on the history of film). And I was left with £20 out of the £80 I was given for Christmas *pleased*
Rowan did his own shopping today, and went 'mad in the aisles' at Toys R Us ;-) He came away with an electronic Bubble-catching game, some Playmobil, a Playstation 2 game and two Nintendo DS games. And he still has about £20 left over too - out of £102, for both Christmas and his birthday! I still haven't finished putting away all the stuff he got for Christmas yet....gonna have to do that tomorrow before Mel and Will come visit.
Anyone got any clue about MP4 players? We saw one in Staples today - £25 for a 2GB player, whereas in Argos they're about twice that :-/ Makes me wonder if there's not something wrong wit the one in Staples, that it's so cheap? Also, would I be able to play the files I've ripped from DVDs on an MP4 player? Or an MP3 player that has video playback?
