ooh, pretty

The new nanos. I want every color. It will introduce a whole new system for sorting my music. ps. You shake it to turn on shuffle.

Hallelujah!

I finally got my laptop back! I actually had to stop myself from kissing it as I was leaving the Apple store. Now things can go back to normal.

Back when I dropped if off to be fixed there was this awesome guy with the thickest glasses ever next to me at the genius bar with his old school desktop. I loved the image of crazy genius old man sitting there with his old but space-agey computer under those florescent lights, so I had to surreptitiously snap his photo with my iphone.
Other things that happened while I was computerless:

I reunited with Alison, an old college roommate and the kind of friend who will always feel like family. I hadn't seen her in a couple years but now she lives just a few blocks away, and by a lucky turn of events I got to go to the blessing of her new baby.


I dug out my dad's old trunk of memorabilia from the LDS mission he served in Australia many years ago, for reasons I'll discuss in a later post, and dressed my sister in a kangaroo pelt.

I raided my mom's fabric stash so I can make my first quilt which will be a gift for a friend's baby. Then I went to an actual fabric store and got more to make another quilt for another friend's baby. Looking at that first one, I may need to take out some of those yellows. These are all 30s reproduction fabrics, which I particularly like.

The thing that did not happen while I was computerless: a finished thesis proposal draft.

Does Steve Jobs know Voodoo?

The same day Apple announced the iPhone firmware update, my Palm Treo started freaking out. Now it pretty much doesn't work at all and nothing will fix it. I promised myself I would get an iPhone as soon as the 2nd generation came out, but it looks like that is not happening in the foreseeable future, and now they've enabled sending multiple texts at once. So there's an iPhone in my online shopping cart, ready to roll... do I just do it?

update: I did it! And now I want to have babies with my iPhone. Thanks for the push, Kurt.
