Batman: Arkham Asylum

I told you I was snagging this one so don’t act so surprised that I actually did it. I put this puppy on pre-order through Amazon. You can check out the trailer and my opinions of the expectation of the game in my product suggestion post. I got my pre-order in on this one because it never fails that Amazon ships out their games early so they get to you the day of release or even before that so get your pre-order in now!

Flowers in the Attic Tee

I have said it before and I’ll say it again, I love Threadless Tee’s and “Flowers in the Attic” has always been one of my favorite prints from their store and it just came up for a reprint which means that I’m snagging one before they go out of stock. This print in particular goes out of stock pretty quickly being that it’s one of the most popular – as well as one of the most twisted designs on the site. To make things even better Threadless is having their annual back to school sale so you can grab this one for $15 instead of $18. They have a huge variety of shirts on sale as well so if this is a little too twisted for you go check out some of the other shirts and you’ll be sure to find one that you like, or if you’re like me you’ll find twenty that you like and end up breaking the bank.

Blackberry Silicone Skin

When I picked up my Blackberry Curve 8900 a few weeks ago I grabbed a few screen protectors but refused the silicone skin that the salesman was trying to push on me – just another salespitch I thought, as it turns out he had the right idea all along, sorry Robin!

Being the sometimes girly girl that I am, I was insistant that I was going to find a cute girlie case for my phone and not get the boring black silicone skin that Robin wanted me to get. After searching online I found a cute black and pink “case” on Ebay for just under $10 so I picked it up and waited not quite so patiently for it to get here. When the thing showed up at my door it was hideous, cheap, tacky looking and God help me I couldn’t get the thing off once I got it on. After having Techguy pry the cheap plastic casing off my Blackberry I made do with the simple hand me down leather belt clip that Techguy gave me until I found something better. It turns out the silicone skin that Robin wanted me to get was in fact the best case to get for my newest beloved toy.

The con of the silicone skin? It collects lint. The pro? It keeps your newest pet unscathed and doesn’t look like it cost you 2 cents and for those of you who are picky like me? You can pick up a variety of colors and if you’re a fashionably sensitive woman you can pick up a bulk lot on Ebay for $20 and get a color to match every outfit!
