luck be a lady

as luck would have it. jeff and i strolled down to the apple store over lunch. we had the intention of buying one iphone 3g. we went into this plan blindly. i said lets go get the phone. and sit at kona for sushi. (i have been craving since my weekend at the lake). after the walk down there. little sweaty. we waltzed into the apple store. looking for the phone. the past week. i noticed a line outside the store. usually around the block. there was no line outside today. just a small one inside. on one side of the store. while jeff wondered around the store. i insisted i get in this line. it had to be it. and i was correct. turns out. they just got a shipment in. and we were in luck. after standing in the line for about 45 mins. we were approached for the pre-screening. check. made it. i was about one persuasive word away from buying one. if i didnt have a whole year left on my other cell phone provider. i would have done it. now i will just wait for next summer. when something more wonderful. more brilliant comes along. besides. eye on the prize. i have a scooter to save for. so after two hours. of listening to annoying people waiting in line around us. jeff is now the proud owner of an iphone. as he says. its totally a status symbol. ha.


i somehow also escaped the hottest weekend thus far. i ventured to the lake of the ozarks. or loto. for a weekend spent on the front of a boat. sipping cocktails. singing ballads. and watching the nutcases come out of the wood work. i think i saw more silicone than i would walking the streets of l.a. okay. might be a stretch. since its been a couple of years since my last trip to cali. but i did see a lot of fake boobies. bleached. tan. bimbos. (the ducks below are real. not silicone.) i also was able to re-enact titanic on the front of the boat. yatcha. for your viewing sake. i will not post those pics. might scare the children. nightmares. and such. but the lucky part was. i had no idea how hot it truly was. until i returned to my hot box. or apartment on sunday evening.
