Confessions of a Shopaholic

Confessions of a Shopaholic : 2009

Saw this movie yesterday. It was coming in Star Movies and I felt it was interesting, As we all know, watching a movie on TV channel sucks. All those hundreds of adds makes you go mad. So I went to my movies collection to see if I already have the movie. Walla :) I did have the movie with me. So I copied on to the pen drive and started watching it on my TV.

In the main lead are Isla Fisher, Hugh Dancy, Krysten Ritter.  The whole story revolves around Isla Fisher, she plays the role of the shopaholic girl who loves to shop, who feels the world is better when she shops. She miss uses her credit card and goes on a shopping spear which will end in a huge credit card bill. Krysten Ritte plays the role of her best friend and Hugh Dancy plays the role of her boss and her love interest in the movie.

She gets a job as a journalist and strating writting columlns in one of a famous, well known magazine. Interestingly the topic she chooses to write is actually opposite to what she is in her real life. She keeps her identity a secret and gives herself a name "The Girl in the green Scarf"...

Her writings in the magazine is soon a hit and she is a over night star. Problem starts when the credit card debt agency starts bugging her to pay back her dues. Finally the climax is all about how she sorts out her love life, her career and most importantly the theme of the movie: her shopping habit.

It was an entertaining movie. One for the evening :)

Day Two with PS 3

Finally got hold of the game "Need For Speed" for PS 3. Started playing the game for a while and in no time I was addicted to it. The thrill of playing this game compares to nothing else. Crossed a couple of level before it was time for Bed.

Once finished I had the big question again in front of me, Should I really buy a PS 3??? After analyzing all the pro's and con's I decided not to buy one. I do agree its a great gadget to have but I guess I am not such a gaming person after all. I like playing only a couple of games but investing a huge amount (~25K) for that was not worth it.

Will be returning back the PS 3 to its owner in a day or two. It was a wise decision to try it first than blindly buying it...

Day one with PS 3

No, I did not buy one yet.Well I did wanted to buy one from long time, but before I could invest such a large amount (25-30 thousand including all accessories and some games) I thought I could first try it out so that if I really like it then I would go for it.

Luckily for me, my friend Jagadish Reddy has one and so I decided to borow it from him and use it for a couple of days and then come to a desision if I want to buy one or not.

Yesterday I got hold of it at 10 in the night. Just like a young kid who has just received a new toy I was all exited to set it up and start using it. The set-up was simple, just a couple of wires and you are ready.

By the way, The hardware i was using was a LG LED HD TV, Sony PlayStation 40 GB (Updated to the latest software version). The games that I had at my hand was Mortal Combat and some war game. They was also Need For Speed but for my bad luck the box was empty.

So far after playing the games that i had, I wasn't so very impressed with the whole experience. May be I expected a lot more. Or may be I am not really a person who is into games (It could be just a fascination to pocess  a cool toy), Well let me not come to a conclusion so soon. After playing for a couple of hours I was under the feeling that these games can be played in the same way on a computer too. So why invest such a huge money.

I still need to play my all time favorite game, The Need For Speed. May be I will decide tomorrow or day after that should I really buy one or rather invest on a bigger monitor for my existing computer and play the same games on it.
