Okay... I really didn't expect the local Best Buy to have the new Ipod-nano on the same day it was announced (though you can already order it from the Apple Store)... but I would have bought one after work today if they had. It's the Ipod format I want... much smaller than the mini it replaces (though with 2GB less storage - it is solid state unlike the hard drive based mini)... more room for music than the shuffle... and a color lcd screen. It was going to be my "impulse buy" of the month... They didn't even know about it... they still have the mini's out on display... and their website doesn't mention them yet... weird. 9:49:05 PM    Notes [] Not a lot of writing this past weekend.. Anyone whose been watching might have noticed that my little fic "The Bandersnatch" has been growing slowly over the past week... I think I've hit a blocking point in it... the scene with Buffy/Luna near the end... One of those : Do I write it like This or like That... subtext or not? It won't even remotely approach something like a PWP fic... but how far do I head in that direction. A conundrum. None of my fics have gone beyond subtext yet... I haven't decided yet... 5:41:55 AM    Notes [] Supply? Meet Demand Yes, gas prices at the pump are starting to go down... $2.99/gal for regular yesterday... a combination of more pipeline/refinery capacity recovery and the end of the summer driving season... And elsewhere... The White House is in heavy spin territory... trying to blame everyone but themselves for the New Orleans disaster... even when the actual facts are contrary to what they are saying... But the people BushCo. are trying to blame are Democrats... so that's okay... who cares about those poor non-Bush voters in Louisiana. Fewer Democrats can only be a good thing... And who are the American people going to believe? We do remember the last election? Don't we? Okay... enough cynicism for the day... I need to go get ready for work... 5:34:27 AM    Notes []
