Some of the reasons I haven’t put up a substantive post in the last few days:

  • Working at Apple every day since the iPhone 3GS launch, which in and of itself was quite an event and involved: arriving at the Aventura Mall at 5:30 in the morning (an hour away from my house), getting accosted by a rent-a-cop who accused me of forging my Apple name tag in an attempt to skip the line, cheering and clapping for a crowd of somewhat bemused and insufficiently caffeinated customers, and then selling like six million phones.
  • Speaking of the iPhone 3GS: getting one.
  • Marathoning my way through the first season of True Blood again.  I’d almost forgotten: how prominently Bill’s chest hair is featured (which explains the enthusiasm of all my friends to the idea of dressing me up as him earlier this year); how every single word that comes out of Lafayette’s mouth (including, but not limited to: “shit,” “bitch,” “hooker,” and “Jason Stackhouse”) is like fifteen times sassier than anything anyone else has ever said on TV, RuPaul included; and how totally, unbelievably dirty the show is.
  • Anxiously refreshing the iTunes Store waiting for an update to BeeJive to finally show up and do what instant messaging should have done on the iPhone a year ago, by which I mean: C’MON ALREADY PUSH NOTIFICATIONS.

Update:

Beejive 3.0 update
