FedEx is the slowest way to ship a package. USPS gets things here faster. UPS gets things here faster. Hell, a fucking CARRIER PIGEON gets things here faster.

Thankyou.

3:40pm - two hours and twenty minutes to opening and leopard. Probably 20 people in line right now, no barricades or riot police yet. Does anyone in chandler actually know about Apple?

4:21pm - getting closer, the line is longer by a factor of two, others are geekier than I and some look to be blogging as well. Were in the shade and it is quite lovely.

5:21pm - riot police are, apple acolytes have passed out water bottles twice now, but its from sams club, not impressed. Too many nerds with video cameras taking my picture. Were moving across the street in ten minutes. Almost show time. w00t!

5:31pm - Michael and I have identified two people in the line as being from TMUG - Transgender Mac Users Group. Not sure I’d such a critter exists, but if it did these two would be in it. Some kid next to me is showing off his original iPod. Nerd.

5:38pm - weve been herded across the street like cattle. Moooo. I saw tee-shirts. I gotta pee bad but im holding it… Nerd in front is wearing a hat with on the front and on the back. He’s talking about vista now.. I should report him to Apple.

5:52pm - sunset was pretty, people keep walking by asking what we are standing line. Its awkward. I guess people arent used to seeing this many geeks at such high density. Some lady was all “its almost time are you excited?” in a mocking tone. Im tagging her for Apple to reeducate as well.

So this is the most amazing thing ever. I love India.

Day of the Zed.

Yesterday was Toronto Zombie Walk 2007. Hundreds, or maybe over a thousand zombies walked the streets of Toronto which ended at a screening at Bloor Cinema for Toronto After Dark Film Festival.

According to CNN (which means this is of dubious and highly speculative nature anyway) “Sen. Sam Brownback will end his bid for the presidential nomination on Friday, two sources close to the Kansas Republican tell The Associated Press.”

Thank the goddess. He was always a long-shot, since he’s only slightly more liberal than Fred Phelps. This will also keep Kansas out of the news, which is a good thing too - the less Kansas is on the minds of the people the fewer jokes about wheat, flatness and the fucking wizard of oz I’ll have to hear.

Oh noes! I had advising today and dropped my second major, so now I’ll officially be a college graduate in December of 2008.

scary

No idea what I want to do at that point - do I apply immediately to Graduate school? Take a semester off and travel? Find gainful employment?

I dunno!

But that’s OK because I have 14 months to decide

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh kay! Where to start? Shall we start the post the same way we started last night? Witha shot of warm Jose Cuervo? shudder

Last night was amazing. Even with the warm Jose.

Emitt organized a fabulous party for me “2 Dirty 4 Thirty” at Nathan and David’s house in Phoenix. I don’t normally do shots of tequila (unless you consider rapid infusion of margarita a shot) but since it was my birthday party and I didn’t have to drive - what the hell, why not.. right?? It was a red theme and everyone was supposed to show up in something red.. The Jose certainly had me seeing red.. tequila BAD!

So much fun though! Lots and lots of people showed up and once the party hit critical mass I don’t think anyone didn’t have a good time. It was really nice to see several people that I hadn’t seen in a long time as well as a few new people that were in the +guest category.

So a nice heartfelt thank-you to Lady Emitt for organizing (and showing up in drag.. hot..), David and Nathan for allowing their home to be used, and everyone else who showed up or called

So I guess having a party makes it official. After nearly two weeks of denial I am comfortable in saying that I am now officially 30.

Sounds weird.
