Not so big on this fellas… kind of cult-like.
I mean, I know Apple has a cult-like following, but if I ever see an Apple store doing a routine like this… I’m going to have to rethink my position on life.
Especially if they end up making a store that looks like a microsoft store.
Oh shit… They do look pretty similar..
So.. who copied who.. hmm?
Good one.
What a life. db
Yesterday I found out my teacher’s name was Moses (hehehe).
In an attempt to stay on the good side of said historical figure, I showed up to my 2:35pm class with Moses a whole ten minutes early.
“Great,” I thought, “I’ll inform the world of my class with Moses” as I took out my iPhone and opened up the WordPress App.
I hurriedly write it before the professor enters the class, and it goes something like this:
I’m starting my class today with Moses – he got called back down to the minors.
No more preaching the Ten Commandments to the masses.. he’s back to the basics
of International and Comparative Management.
Oh… and Moses wears Airwalks.
Ohhh the humor!
Worry not, the story doesn’t end there. First, background on the App.. it’s default action whenever you write a post is to store it locally. Oh, and!!! whenever you forgetfully store it locally instead of posting it immediately, and you go to your local drafts folder, you’ll notice that it’s not there! Yay! WordPress bugggg.
So this is my attempt to the world to make up for what could have been, but all I know is that it wasn’t/isn’t/never will be.
Now if I’m reading this right, and please correct me if I’m not, but Macworld is making one seriously stupid suggestion here. Am I, or am I not, getting asked to buy their $1.99 iPhone app, so that they can do what iTunes already does, and show me top ranked Apps? Or they can show me apps that they think are cool.. Oh, and as one extra tidbit, they’ll throw in news from their website… stuff that I can already access for free.
haha Not sure if they hit the nail on the head with this one – someone may be walking around with a sore thumb. Thanks for trying though.
“Hey! Let’s go downtown and grab a bite to eat.
I have my awesome two-month old lock so I’ll just lock both of our bikes up with it.
Oh! Great… my key is stuck (first disappointment).. Hm.. there’s absolutely no way to get it out. It is 100% officially stuck.
Well… should we cut the lock? Are we going to be able to even cut it? We don’t have a hacksaw.. or a Rotozip or something of the sort.
Let’s go see what the make-shift Zeller’s on Sparks St has. Well… it’s confirmed that they have the worst hardware section ever (not surprising).
Lo and behold, though, they have a shady $1.00 hacksaw! Huge.
Let’s go and see if we can at least cut through the vinyl wrap around the actual metal coil.
4 minutes later…
Wow we just hacked through a $40 bicycle lock in less than 5 minutes with a $1 hacksaw. That makes me feel great.
Screw you OnGuardLock. Not only will they be getting a strong-worded letter expressing disappointing that a two month old lock seized up, I want a new lock.
In other news – I’m back from my fun-filled trip through Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. Life was good, the whales were non-existent and the trip was a success. I took a few pictures, all of which were within the first day of traveling. My battery died, and before you curse me for not charging it before leaving, I must say that I did charge it! The difference was that at our last shoot, I gave Steve the battery from my camera in exchange for his dying battery (ohhhh and it was a cheap non-OEM one). So, it didn’t hold a charge and I was more-or-less cameraless. Sad. Live on!
News item #2 – To the St Catherine’s street Apple store in Montreal, I hate you. We raced from the Canada-USA border to your store so that I could get a hold of the new Snow Leopard OS and install it before I went to sleep. We got there… 1 minute before closing time… and you were sold out? Psh. Regardless, I can happily say that I got a copy of it today from the Apple store in Rideau, and it’s installed! So, yay.
I’m off to dis/mantle (that is to dismantle, and then mantle) some Ikea beds and organize my room/life.
To you, I bid adieu.
It’s been 7 days (approximately 164 hours) since I last had a plate of chicken wings. It was a Monday. Much like the Monday today, actually – sunny, warm with a slight breeze that let you know the weather was on your side. Vanessa, Tyler and I, stopped into our local “watering hole” for a plate of the infamous mind-blowing $2.50 wings. We ate. We laughed and then we ate some more. Halifax heat, was my choice, while they ate lemon pepper and BBQ, respectively.
It was over before I knew it, and by the time my feet touched the floor as we headed for the door, it was too late. It was over, but the cravings were just beginning. Tonight, we head back. We aim for victory.
We will conquer the wing. Twice. One plate for last week’s craving and one for the coming week’s (they (the cravings) are real). Hooley’s. 6pm. Be there.
Yes, please.
Since my attempt at making BFFs with the Emperor of Japan proved unsuccessful, I figure I’ll let Ben Harper serenade me. With every new day comes a new opportunity for making a BFF. Hopefully this one will prove successful!!
