Virgin Mobile Starts Selling iPhone!

In my last post, I discussed Virgin Mobile's plan to sell the Apple iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. That post was made on June 14th and on June 29th, the iPhone officially went on sale. And if you were one of the people who guessed the phones were going to be crazy high, then you were correct. The phones are priced at $549.99 for the iPhone 4 8GB and $649.99 for iPhone 4S 16GB.

Some customers of Virgin Mobile are upset about the high prices, but I have to ask them "what did you expect"? Did they really think Virgin Mobile was going to sell the phone dirt cheap and then offer dirt cheap plans? If so, then you are dreaming. I can't afford to pay that amount right now but if I could, I would surely buy the phone today. Where else can you pay $35.00 for iPhone service a month? Girl please!!!

What makes more sense to you? Paying more up front for a phone or paying more per month? Let me know below <3

Virgin Mobile Getting Apple iPhone 4S!

This is why I love Virgin Mobile! I cannot say if I am going to actually purchase the Apple iPhone 4S, but it is nice to know that I can get this phone anytime I want to starting June 29th. It will all really depend on the price of the phone. I am expecting it to be sort of high since the monthly bill with Virgin Mobile at a maximum is about $50. I am hearing that the phone will probably be around $550. But I might be willing to pay that much.

I have always wanted an iPhone, but I don't have good credit and don't want a 2-year contract. Plus the price of the phone and the monthly bill were crazy expensive. And I don't want to be phone poor. You know have a big fancy phone and can't pay my bills.

So I hope Virgin Mobile doesn't stick it to us too bad. I would really love to see what all the hype is about involving the iPhone. I also want to use that cool Siri that I see on the commercials. She seems so helpful.

Is Tara the New Bubba on True Blood?

As I mentioned in my True Blood season premiere recap, Tara is dead. Well, not exactly. She was turned by Pam(don't ask why). Well after writing that post I started reading other blogs and articles discussing the episode and there are many questions about this upcoming season. One of the main questions involves Tara and how normal a vampire she will be. Some are saying she won't be "all there" because of the shot to the head and will possibly be the TV version of Bubba from the books.

I always wondered why they left Bubba out. He was a big part of the books and really balanced everything out, so I was upset when he never joined the cast. But if Tara becomes something similar to Bubba, then I guess that might work. Lord knows she really shouldn't even be a big part of the show according to the books, so they obviously have big plans for Tara. 

"True Blood" Season 5 Premiere Recap

I have one question, where the heck was Christopher Meloni in this episode? Every since I heard that he was joining the cast,  I have been waiting to see him as a vamp. And I was upset that I have to wait to next week or how ever long, to see him. I can't go that long without my Meloni fix. 

Besides that, the episode was eventful. It took me a moment to remember all that happened on last season's finale, but I quickly caught up. I am also amazed at how far from the book they stray. I mean, what are they thinking. In the book a few of the main characters were dead by now and some never existed. But that's neither here nor there.

So here's the rundown:  *SPOILER ALERT!!!*

• Eric and Bill are on the run from the Authority with Eric's "sister" Nora
• Russell is alive
• Sam has been kidnapped by Marcus' pack
• Sookie clearing here kitchen of blood (again)
• Lafayette is dealing with the death of Tara and Jesus
• Tara is dead, but is made a vamp by Pam (ikr?)
• and other stuff that didn't seem too relevant to me

And that is basically it. All I know is that there better be alot of Eric and Alcide in this season. Bill can go away forever. I am curious to see more of Jessica too. For some reason she is so interesting to me. Maybe it's here beautiful red hair or maybe because she seems so dark but innocent? I dunno.

So after waiting months, was the season premiere what you expected? And who are you looking to see more of?
