New Realization!

Posted in Uncategorized on July 3, 2008 by riamehta

So i’m at the mall, and I always thought I was obsessed with jewelry..
You know, earrings (I have a whole collection on display), bangles,
etc.. But no!! As of right now, I have finally realized…

I am obsessed with bags and shoes !!!

Imagine realizing that after 20+ years of my life? I am officially in
shock :s (I guess I should have realized it when I started spending
hundreds of dollars on a bag.. lol) But anyway, that’s that……

Back to shopping now, more later..!

**W0W** to Guitar Hero and Rockband on the WII!!!!

Posted in Uncategorized on July 3, 2008 by riamehta

So i FINALLY got my chance to play both games……. and all I could say at the end was, WOOWWWW!!!!!

I am now obsessed with the Wii……. Oh my God, What genius skills to have created a system like it!!! Not only are the games good, but some of them (think Guitar Hero and Rockband) are just amazingggggg… 
Initially I failed every song (like, the first 3 :P ) on Guitar Hero, but then… once you get a hang of it, it is sooo fun to play! Definitely a must-try for anyone who can (afford not only the games but also the Wii and) get their hands on it!!! 
Anyway, back to Rockband for me…  back in a bit! 

The trickiness of Apple :o

Posted in 3G iPhone, iPhone 3G update on July 2, 2008 by riamehta

Oh.. my.. GOD! Apple has released their new 3G iPhone pricing details, and not everyone is going to be eligible for the $199 8Gb iPhone price.

To be eligible: 
1. You have to open a new AT&T line or
2. BE eligible for an upgrade through your previous contract or 
3. Buy the current iPhone model anytime before July 11….
Do you know what that means? That means that people like us, who bought our iPhones within the last year and upgraded to 2 year contracts, will still have to buy the new iPhone 3G for $399 AND pay a minimum of $69.99/mo…. Wow, aren’t I just better off with my old $399 iPhone and a $59.99/mo. plan?! 
I pity the people who have already sold their phones(including the current iPhone model for under half the price) in the excitement of buying the new iPhone 3G…  :/
Anyway, you can read more about the iPhone 3G details here

Ah, the good life…

Todays day went mostly in travel….. from Franklin, MA to Boston, MA.. then Boston, MA to New York, NY, and New York, NY to Chatham, NJ.

Except for the last part of my journey (NY to NJ), all parts of this trip were Wifi enabled… yes, the trains AND the busses! Ah, the good life ;)
More and more cities(think London, etc) are enabling wi-fi access throughout their areas, but to have wi-fi on the move is just way better. Journeys end faster, you can check mail even if you’re out the whole day.. I mean, what more can people ask from public transport!!!
Anyhow, looks like this week/end is going to be full of fun… To be in New York on the 4th of July? Woohoo! What more could I ask for ;)
Will keep you posted with the news and pics.. stay tuned :)

Wha ba ME????

Posted in Uncategorized on July 1, 2008 by riamehta

So when I was a kid, that used to be my thing to say… you know, when everyone leaving the room or anyone eating without serving me first……. Ha Ha! (Yes, I was pretty spoiled.. :P )

But anyway….. times changed… I grew up…… (and all that blah) but sometimes the kid in me still wonders…. what ABOUT me? I mean just ‘coz we grow up, we don’t need any looking after? I don’t know.. I mean being a grown up has its plusses, but it has soooo many more minuses than I would’ve thought when I was a kid…… somebody should’ve WARNED me!!! lol
Just some food for thought :/
Anyway……… need to be up bright and early for the dentists tomorrow……. (gotta walk 4 miles!!!) So I’ll be off…
Good night and Sweet dreams (to those who dare to dream :) )

Immense pain, loads of meds, and 6 movies later…

Posted in Movies on July 1, 2008 by riamehta

So the last couple of days in my life have been sooo monotonous, that I need a new word for monotonous.. (no, really :P )

Aside from having terrible toothaches (and, therefore, not being able to eat much :/), I have watched 6 movies in the last 48 hours……. Yes, what an accomplishment. It’s not like I do much these days other than sleep and eat anyways, but 6 is a bit much, even for someone like me… hehehe…
Anyways, the movies I watched were:
and the TV shows:
Ok so that makes 4 movies and 2 TV shows… (those TV shows are, btw, each 2.5 hours long… so I think they should be counted like movies :P ) Having seen all the movies before (except Wanted), I definitely want to mention how much I liked Wanted…. (more on that later)
A comment on this years IIFA: Where were all the stars? Why weren’t people like Preity Zinta or John Abraham there? What a disappointment… :/ I’m actually going to send my first comment/question to Amitabh Bachchan’s blog and ask him why there.. will keep you posted here on the response (if any!) 
Anyways, I’m going to play poker now………… HEHEHEHE 
More later!
