"Ohmigodohmigodohmigod you have to come here!"

"Here?"

"HERE!"

"Outside of my current transportation problems, where's here, exactly?"

"The APPLE STORE!"

Pause.

"Ok. I realize that about half the people I know are outside or inside an Apple store right now, salivating, but you were about the last --"

"Dude. I am telling you. I've already MET THE HOTTEST NEUROSURGEON EVER. Just make sure you aren't wearing much."

*****************

And there you have it -- Apple's marketing in action.

In related news, I still don't have an iPhone.

If it comforts you any, I won't be getting one for awhile, either. I'd turn in my Official Geek card if I didn't need it for Hellboy II tomorrow...

I'm seeing H2 Sunday (part of the Sushi & Cinema series, which I've dubbed "Anung Un Ramen" ;) )

I have it on order, so I should get it soon(ish), but I really wanted to play with it this weekend...

In Clermont?

I understand that's where we're going, although I have no idea of the time....

Sadly, no. I'll be at the local cinema, about 10 minutes from home. My friend NC and I will be lunching at an asian-food buffet first. Yum!

Yum indeed. I don't know what if any food is associated with our expedition tomorrow.

We've found it far more cost-efficient to fill up with a tasty sit-down meal rather that hit the concession stand. Plus, the restaurant is a better place for trading gossip catching up on what's new.

Now, off for the Sci Fi and the latest Dr. Who followed by the season premiere of Stargate Atlantis. Woooo!

It's a f-ing zoo, I tell you. Not in a good get-your-iPhone-and-happily-leave-the-store-sorta way. More like a maddening, 'OMG-why did-they-release-a-update-on-the-same-day-as-the-3G-came-out-sorta way'.

That's what my friend said, but apparently, the zoo did provide a decent selection of men's butts to view, so....

....although I can see that wouldn't do as much for you.

The last 3G went to the person right in front of me in the line. I'll get mine sometime this week.

2 1/2 hours. I brought a book, so it wasn't time wasted.

Don't worry about your geek-cred. Just claim that you object to Apple's monopolistic policies and you can ignore those with an iPhone. ;-)
