Marcus and I were sitting here watching CSI: Miami from Monday and an Apple Mac/PC ad came on. That reminded him of something he wanted me to see. Apparently, Apple UK has their very own British actors doing "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" commercials. Check them out on the Apple UK Ads site.

Edit: From a comment: Apple Japan Ads. Not as humorous since I don't understand Japanese, but still cool to see the ads with different actors.

Well, at least today is going better than yesterday.

We went to CompUsa to exchange the Animusic DVD. Wouldn't you know it...there were no more in stock. *sigh* Oh, well. At least they took it back. The good news is they had a manager's special on the iSight Accessory Kit. It has a magnetic stand (among other ones) that attaches the camera to the top of a cinema display. It normally retails for almost $30, but they were on sale for $2.97. Whee! Marcus and I each snagged one. Now my iSight is sitting happily atop my display, just like at the Apple Store. Now if only I had somebody to chat with.

They're having a Dumb Friend's League telethon on Fox31 today. I'm sad...that's where we got Skippy from. I really want another dog, but I'm going to be strong and not do it until we get out of this park. I am going to blog for them as my charity this year in the Blogathon. I was torn as to which charity to pick last year, but I went with Livestrong because I knew that Marcus would donate for that charity. I've thought about volunteering down there, but I don't think I could do it. Not being able to save every animal would kill me.

Hey, have you seen one of the newest Apple commercials? Check out the "Meant for Work" one. Poor PC is lamenting having to play video games and play music. He's been plastered with all sorts of stickers. Just like my friend Mike's PC! It made me giggle.

Hey, look...I finally finished Marcus' Thanksgiving graphic the day before yesterday for his site. I present the iPod Pilgrim, actually making an appearance before the holiday. It's not my best work, but it didn't come out too bad. This is the third in a series I've made for his sidebar. As soon as he gets me his idea, I promised to make him one for Christmas. I told him he should start a little archive of all of the little guys somewhere on his site to save them for posterity.

In other web news, I've got to find out why my freaking site is loading so danged slow. I'm absolutely sick of this.

The Barenaked Ladies are in town tonight. I had really hoped I could've found a way to score some tickets, but no such luck. *sigh* Next time they are in town I will see them!

Wow, I missed an important birthday yesterday. Happy 5th Birthday to the beloved iPod. It seems like just yesterday Apple introduced you to the world and now look what you're done in that short time. When I'm employed and back on my feet again, I'm going to save my PPP funds to get a new video iPod. I miss mine something fierce.
