Carpet Sharks!

“Daddy, get in da boat!”

Update

I did not know that there was such a thing.  I thought I made it up.  Poor kids probably knew all about it.

iPhone 4 Adventure Part 2 (8/21/20010)

Ok, trying again. So far, 9:50am, the only stores open at 9am are Radio Shacks. I have called every radio shack in a 20 mile radius. All 18 of them. Three have the 32gb which is quite promising but not willing to pay the extra $$. I’ve also put my name on a waiting list at our Radio Shack in our mall. The lady there says I am number 11 on the list. Waiting for 10am to come by so I can call our WalMart.

Update:
Decided, after calling every Wal Mart and every Best Buy, that it’s just better to wait. I put my name on a list at our Radio Shack. Hopefully I’ll get a call soon. Ugh.

iPhone 4 Adventure (8/20/2008)

Nancy is getting the new iPhone 4 today. I’m not so excited since it won’t be my phone, sniffle, sniffle. But I thought to document the whole process of getting one since AT&T is so prone to bad customer service. We have to go to the AT&T store instead of the Apple store because I get a 50% discount on accessories and will definitely have to get a case for it. And it’s probably less crazy in an AT&T store instead of an Apple store as far as the kids are concerned. So here we go to Emeryville for an iPhone and some a cool Train visit for Spencer.

Update 10:39am

Out of stock! Tried the AT&T store as well but they are only take pre-orders. I broke my own rule about calling first. They recommended I call the Apple store in Downtown SF between 11:30 and 3. Weird. Going to the Emeryville Market for some Thai food.

Update 11:00

At the Amtrak station there’s this bridge that you take an elevator up to. When we got in Spencer says, “Smells like poo poo daddy.” This is what I call a S.K.S.E. moment – Smart Kid , Stinky Elevator.

Update 11:45

Inception

Nancy and I went and saw “Inception.”  Dark City meets the Matrix.  Or, Dark City II.  I really liked the concept and would love to see this as a TV series. Leonardo was good.  I’m glad he is growing up.  I actually like movies where he gets beat up.  The more he gets beat up the more I feel like he’s feeling some remorse for Titanic.  Nancy feels like maybe they should have picked another actress for Leo’s wife.  I feel like they should have done better with the “Architect” character.  If you like action you’ll dig this movie.  And it’s cerebral as well.  If you don’t know what “cerebral” means then you’ll have a tough time with this movie.
