The Bear Minimum

It’s a horrid transition, one that I really am not in favour of making!

I didn’t realise it’d been such a hefty download month. Rent a few movies off of iTunes and you’d be surprised how fast you’ll go through those downloads. Especially if you also decided you’re in the mood to watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. Nearly 9G just for those three films. That’s what I get for being lazy and not going and buying the Blu-Ray version in town. It’s interesting, though, seeing how much you’ve downloaded. I think when you’re on the highest speed connection short of fibre optics, which broadband is, that you’re unaware how much you’ll be downloading because it goes so fast. I’ve also been enjoying listening to Loreena McKinnett on YouTube lately, but no broadband means no YouTube, nor purchasing it off iTunes. I have one of her albums on there, but there are songs I like from other albums on YouTube and I just hadn’t gotten around to getting those yet.

I do have mobile broadband, also, but I don’t really use it. I’ve got an iPhone, and I fear that I’m letting everyone down with how few apps I have on it. I thought about a Blackberry, but decided I liked the sleekness of the iPhone, plus I didn’t really need business and office telephone systems, just one good reliable phone which I can be contacted on at all times in case of emergencies. My office, however has the Panasonic digital cordless phones system with a fax machine and so on, but I believe those were supplied to us by BT at some point.

At least with the billing cycle I’m on I only have to wait until the 15th to get regular service back… Only until the 15th
