I wish I had the money...I would've been in line at The Apple Store today to get an iPhone. More importantly, I wanted the shirt. Oh, well. It was not to be. All the hype and coverage today is just rubbing it in that I will not possess one quite yet. That's OK, I will.

I like how the thing automatically switches to WiFi networks (like when you're in a Starbucks). I think Marcus wants to head to the Apple Store when he gets home from work. I can't wait to play with one.

Hugh McLeod republished his iPhone comic today for the occasion (over there on the right ---> ).

Even Calacanis claims he'll be getting one based on Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg's review below:

Have I mentioned on here that I jacked up my legs stepping off a ladder wrong at work? Yeah, that's me...Miss Clutz. They were starting to feel better until the day before yesterday. I was walking and all of a sudden my left foot made a huge "pop" so loud Marcus heard it. *sigh* It hasn't wanted to pop back. I keep plunging my feet into ice baths, but the relief is over the minute my feet come out of the water. I'll do my best to stay off of them this weekend and hopefully that will help.

Can you believe how fast this year is flying by? Independence Day is a week away, people!

Sorry, the craft blog is not playing nice and that is why there has been no link yet. If it wasn't for the fact I really want to learn this beast called Wordpress, I'd just chuck it and do it with Expression Engine. If I don't get it up this weekend, I'll be doing just that.

Wow, I really love music and there is so much great talent out there. It was so hard to narrow this week's topic down to just 10. I closed my eyes and gave you the first 10 groups that popped into the old brain.

Ten of My Favorite Bands

1. The Electric Light Orchestra
2. Queen
3. Van Haln (w/ David Lee Roth)
4. Metallica
5. Rush
6. The Police
7. Barenaked Ladies
8. Pink Floyd
9. The Beatles
10. Mannheim Steamroller

Remember how I was so excited last week that USA had the season premieres of The 4400 and The Dead Zone on their site last Monday? Well, apparently that was a one shot deal. Jerks. I can get The Dead Zone through iTunes, but not The 4400. Damn it! So not cool.

I'm really tired right now. I'm thinking of going to take a nap. See, even though I stayed up well past 1 am this morning, my internal clock had me out of bed at 6:20. What sucked major monkey butt about that is I thought I was late for work and that my alarm hadn't gone off like earlier this week. 6:20 is when I need to be hitting the road. After rushing into the bathroom, it dawned on me that it was Saturday. D'oh! So, all that adrenaline had me wide awake. *sigh*

I twisted both my ankles when I stepped off a ladder wrong at work. I can't remember if it was late last week or early this week. All I know is, they are both super puffy and hurt like a mother. I can never remember if you're supposed to ice swelling or put heat on it. Google tells me ice, so I've got ice packs strapped to my ankles. I feel stupid, but if it helps get the swelling and pain down, I'll deal. I think I'll fill up a pan with ice water later and soak in it.

Hey, I got off my butt and joined Facebook a few days ago. Here's a link to my Facebook Profile if you want to be my friend.

Marcus is super cool. He bought me a license for that Delicious Library program I wrote about a bit ago. Even though he claims it is not the case, I think he really wanted to play with it and got tired of waiting for me to get it. Getting my books into it is going to be a long process. Most of mine are so old that scanning them doesn't bring up anything in Amazon's database. I'm having to type in the ISBN number and that usually brings up something close. Then being anal and perfectionist like I am, I'm searching Amazon and Google images for the same cover. So far I've got a couple that I'm either going to have to deal with the cover being different, or I'll have to scan my own book cover. We'll see.

OK, I'm off to work on Wordpress stuff and figure out how to make a better looking twitter badge. I hate that one you get from their site. Seriously, you only display 140 characters or something, so why is the box that freaking huge? I can't even change the text size. Lame!
