cture It... Sicily, After the War

Seeing a number of well-deserved tributes in the media to Estelle Getty, mourning her passing. Have to admit I only appreciated her because of the Golden Girls role which she brought such life to. Was amazing how that show in general brought a number of issues to public light in a very accessible, real way. That is more than enough to miss her for.

Ring Ring!

So Friday I went by the Rosedale Mall to see what the iPhone line was like at the Apple store. Turns out the reports of the massive line were true so I got a picture or two then headed to lunch with coworkers.



On the way they forced me to stop at an AT&T store. There was a two minute line for orders so I put one in. In an effort to spend the most money possible, I went with the 16gb plus expedited shipping. To be different I specified white (YT) sight unseen. *snicker* Looking at some of the pictures online I think the black might have been more sleek. Oh well. I was happy to have it en route so I could stop thinking about it.

Did order a full body shield from the same people that made the one I have for my Touch. Looks like there are other flash accessories that I'm not going to bother with. Want to get it in my hands before I start throwing good money after bad. *snicker*

The sales chick wouldn't give me any time estimates when I was ordering since everything was such a mess. Figured I could check online when things calmed down. Yet when I went to AT&T confirmation site they didn't recognize me by phone number or order confirmation. Decided to call them directly for my FedEx number. Looks like it will arrive this afternoon!

What Fits Together

Had a good night last night. Andrew and I hit some happy hours downtown then walked over to the Block E. We caught Hancock which I really enjoyed until the end. After that was over Andrew looked at me slyly and said, “Should we go see Wanted?” So we walked over to that area with *gasp* paying for it! I felt like such a delinquent. Yet I was relieved because it was totally sucking. We looked at each other then got up to head into Hulk instead. *snicker* Ended up seeing it through; it was enjoyable but not that great. What I loved most is all the lead-in to S.H.I.E.L.D. Doom is already established so I wonder if they have anyone in mind for Nick Fury.

WoW friend texted me while I was drinking, wondering if I would be willing to go Shadow to raid. It actually made me smile. I loved Shadow but haven't done it in BC at all. I leveled Holy with friends then went Disc for PvP when Kara broke up the guild. With all the Kara runs I've done, I did pick up DPS pieces. Logged in this morning to see what I lack and was surprised to see how many things I had ferreted away—even Ruby Slippers! After a quick review, it looks like I need trinkets, pants, gloves, and hat. Might be able to get up to speed pretty quickly.

Was going to hit the downtown AT&T store this morning for a G3 but changed my mind. I've heard some insane reports about lines and bullshit. I can wait a few weeks for the hype to settle down. Yet getting in to work, everyone was on my ass. Even my boss was saying, “Now might be a good time to go since the initial rush will have died down and the lunch rush wouldn't have begun.” So I might head up there in a few minutes. *sigh*

Fairly Accurate

I found today's Google doodle to be as annoying as most of Chagall's work itself.
