randomly snarky

Blog blogging is a cheap excuse to avoid original writing. Hey, I'm busy. But at least I'm not cheesy on the outside like some people.

A murder would be nice, of course... but don’t let him make you his mare.
In a word, awesome.

Act 1 of Doctor Horrible's blog is out today, July 15.

I went down to a local AT&T store this morning a little after 10. I counted about 30 people on line and they were also coming in behind me. Shortly after I walked up, the man in front of me yelled out loudly and suddenly (tourrets came to mind), “Do they have more phones?!?” to no one in particular.

Two women at the head of the line turned and explained they did, but only the 8 gig models, and probably only enough for the first few people in the line. One of them said the AT&T employees were coming out every 30 mins or so to provide updates. The women said they’d been there since 7am. I figured I’d wait for the next update.

Five or six people dropped out of the line, including the random shouter who left with a grunt.

A few minutes later an employee came out to tell us they were down to just a couple of phones, but they may have just received a shipment (deliveries can be so confusing).

I’m a horrendous mobile keyboardist, unable to text message without a series of typos. I prefer quality typing of course, but the keys of my Blackberry are small and my nails are very long, which is, by the way, fine for full-sized keyboards.

Sadly, my friends and colleagues consistently point out the typos, which is unnecessary and very annoying. They all suck.

While I have no reason to feel this way (or do I?), I love the idea of an eye floating in space.

There's references to this one as the "Eye of God," but it's not spiritual for me - just cool looking.

And just to emphasize my geekiness, I confess to having a variety of photos from Hubble framed and hanging in my home office. (G)eek!
