this might be the coolest thing i've seen all day.

i try to be half-assedly original in most of my posts here, but sometimes somebody else says something so well, something that you have been THINKING YOUR ENTIRE ALMOST-FIVE-YEAR RELATIONSHIP, something that has been coursing through your blood but did not yet have the means to escape through your fingers onto the keyboard, that you just gotta link it and leave it.

in short: what she said.

so, like, i guess i'll see you at the gallery place chinatown movie theater tonight, in line for that sith thing. i'll be the one surrounded by manboys in glasses, with a disgruntled look on my face.

reminder to self: do not contact Legionnaires' disease while hot tubbing it up in the outer banks next weekend. hot tub bacteria. yummy.

This year's E3 -- the Electronic Entertainment Expo -- is well underway, and the first details surrounding the next generation of videogame consoles have been revealed. Let's begin deciding how to waste our money, shall we? A review, preview, and pictures of the hardware are below the cut.

so: apparently ron livingston is going to be at the johnston & murphy clothing store tonight from 6-8 p.m. the store about two blocks from my office.

however. i have somehow gotten roped into standing in line for the opening of "revenge of the sith" with several other people and one other unwitting friend at approximately the same time.

huh.

what to do, what to do.

thank you for the email where you smoothly and kindly informed me that: "We thought you'd like to know that we shipped this portion of your order separately to give you quicker service. You won't be charged any extra shipping fees, and the remainder of your order will follow as soon as those items become available."

i thought that notice about the order was particularly thoughtful; you truly have the customer's best interests at heart.

except when the order is a TWO-PIECE BATHING SUIT AND YOU'RE JUST SHIPPING ME THE BOTTOM AND I'M GOING TO THE BEACH IN A WEEK, ASSHATS.
