Shopping: High to Low

I'm not proud of my love of gadgets, its actually a little embarrassing to me. But I want an iPhone! Calvin is equally obsessed, he has watched all the iPhone videos on the Apple site. Neither of us are willing to spend so much money on a phone, or (worse) switch carriers. I (for some reason) have an inexplicable loyalty to t-mobile, and Calvin is just as loyal to Sprint (even more puzzling).

I haven't bought an iPhone, but I have bought a $15. handmade Hellboy purse. Some might quibble with the quality (and have), yes its pretty funky, but I love it. Made with tape, plastic and a Hellboy cover- what more can you ask for?
