A few weeks ago as I was making my Christmas list for Santa, I thought as a lark I’d put down an iPhone. There are some fun games and apps on it, particularly a couple of Skylanders games. Upon consultation with friends and family, I was told that I might be better served with a Galaxy Note II. What started as a lark quickly turned into something I wanted. I’ve never felt the need to have a cell phone before, let alone a smart one. Much to my amusement, the very next day, I received a letter from Bell with a special offer on smart phones. It was as though the universe was telling me, “It’s time!”.

That very weekend I went to the Bell Store fully intending to buy the Galaxy Note II. Ah, but to buy said phone, said phone must be in stock. This was not the case and as I was not inclined to get them to order one for me, I left empty-handed. I called the next week and still none in stock. Oh well…no biggie. I could wait until after Christmas.

On Saturday I was at the mall doing the last of my Christmas shopping, when I remembered that Bell does business through The Source. If the Bell Store didn’t have the phone I wanted in stock, perhaps The Source did. Well lo and behold there it was beckoning me to spend my hard-earned dollars and cents on it. I’m not one to make sophisticated pieces of machinery cry so I bought it then and there. And The Source’s in-store offer was even better than the one the Bell Store had, so my new toy ended up costing me even less than I had calculated.

The rest of my weekend was spent playing with my phone, so I don’t have much else to talk about (don’t worry, I didn’t shirk off my Animus duties, my weekend strips are drawn). I’m a latecomer to the technological revolution so even the most basic of functions (like answering the darn thing) needs to be figured out. I’m sure I’m not getting the most out of it right now, but what I have figured out is pretty fun so far. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a game of Elder Sign to get to. 😉
