Spotted

I saw Dooce's husband, Jon, at Best Buy yesterday. He was wearing those clogs she always complains about and looked rather disheveled.

I felt kind of odd knowing that he had no idea that the girl standing behind him in the DVD section knew some fairly intimate details of his life. I thought about saying something like, "I love your website" or "I'm a big fan or you and your wife" but I really think that would have made that odd feeling worse. Plus, I'm not sure I'd consider myself a fan of theirs. It's more of a fascination with how irrational and exaggerated her writing style is. It's kind of ridiculous sometimes. And I think Leta is kind of a brat.

Anyway.

I have a free flight on Southwest. Where should I go? I very much wish Southwest went a little further south and a lot more west so I could go to Hawaii. Too bad.

Or I'm thinking maybe finally following through on some U.S. Open plans I've been talking about for the last 5 years and heading to New York in the fall.

Maybe Serena will lose her sh*t again. Maybe I will get to witness it.

Some Things Vol. II

My MacBook hasn't been charging the last few days. I took it to the Apple store this afternoon, waited 20 minutes after my scheduled appointment only to have the emo/nerdy Apple guy tell me I've charged out my battery and need a new one. And it's not covered under my warranty.

$129 for a new battery. Why don't Apple products last longer? My computer is only 1 1/2 years old. I mean, why can't apple make stuff like Toyota? Toyota's last FOREVER.

Apple should be more like Toyota.

Anyway, I have to get a new battery. Luckily it works if it's plugged into the wall, but once I disconnect it, buh-bye.

Bummer.

I watched Mannequin on E! today.

I love that movie. I remember walking to the video store during the summer when I was in middle school and renting it. It's so good.

It doesn't feel like Christmas to me. I can't get into it. Maybe it's because I don't have a tree or the money to do any fun Christmas shopping. Oh well. I miss getting into it. I remember never wanting Christmas to actually come because then it would be over and my Mom would put away all the decorations. It was always a sad day when she took down the tree. Hopefully next year I can get more into all the fun of Christmas. We did go try and see the lights at T-Square. Too bad we got there too late and they had turned them off for the night. I actually wasn't too disappointed. It was literally like 10 degrees that night. Dan said I looked giddy to not have to get out of the car.

I saw Brothers yesterday. It was intense. Very intense. But very good. I would recommend seeing it. It really wasn't what I thought it would be about. Obviously, it's about two brothers, but it definitely has some political undertones that I didn't expect.

I have a job interview in a couple weeks I am very excited/nervous about. It's a job I've wanted for about a year. I applied for a similar position last spring and got so close, I could taste it. Unfortunately, it came down between me and someone else and they broke my heart. That's really what it felt like. I kept my eye on the company since then and when this opened up, I about freaked. I finally got a call to schedule an interview a couple days ago after two weeks of nothing. I'm glad I have some time to prepare. Wish me luck. It would be a really awesome birthday present.

Speaking of birthdays...

26. OMG. Please make it stop.
