That's actually atypical of Apple. Did she go to an Apple store? Just because they are Apple, doesn't mean they can't employ some dunderheads.

Lo, these many days ago, (Wednesday), I snuck onto Bitches for a little read'n'post, and then haven't been back because work has been so very craxybusy. My friend's purchase and all communications have been with Apple via interbunny, phone and mail, because we have no such thing as an Apple store available without taking a plane or boat. I'm not sure of the details.

My understanding was that Apple was good about service, but this was enough to turn her from a diehard Apple person to swearing off anything they touch ever again. On the positive side, her boyfriend mentioned that banging the iPod hard might help temporarily, and it clearly wasn't going to void a non-existent warrantee, so she tried, and it seems to be working, at least for now.

Go, Katie Bee. I have purchased the materials for my Bitch blanket.

I'm so happy to hear about not!done others. I've been working hard on mine 3-4 hours most days, and 1 hour minimum, forEVER, and I don't think it will be done by the 31st, much less mailed in time to get to the recipient by then. Fortunately, said recipient has been notified and was kind and gracious about it. No surprise that a Bitch would be kind and gracious, but gratifying.

Oh, my God...the image resulting from the juxtaposition of "boyfriend" "Ipod" and "bang really hard"...I'm terrible.

Wasn't that a House clinic sub-plot?

I thought of that after I typed it, but, well, um, I thought it was just my dirty mind. Silly me.

Really? I saw a guy pass out while having sex once...ETA: On "House", not anywhere else.

The fireworks have begun. It will be craxybusy in my nabe this weekend, due to adjacentness of Chinatown. It is craxybusy at my work, which is why I haven't been on. Hi! Hugs to all what needs 'em.

Juliana, does that mean that you got to start, even with the background check? How do you like it?

Also, are JZ and I going to see you tomorrow?

On an episode of House, Season One:

Dr. House: You've been here for half an hour and you haven't sat down; that tells me its location. You haven't told me what it is; that tells me it's humiliating. You have a little birdie carved under your arm; that tells me you have a high tolerance for humiliation, so I figure it's not hemarrhoids. I've been a doctor twenty years, you're not going to surprise me.

Young Man: It's an MP3 player.

[Pause. House is surprised.]

Dr. House: Is it... is it because of the size, the shape, or is it the pounding bass line?

Some people should not be allowed to Karioke. OMG.

Augh. Why am I so smooth when I don't need it, and when a REALLY HOT girl walks up to me in the club, and asks if I could hand her some napkins, and introduces herself, and leans in to me, and puts her hand on my thigh...and I"m like "Uh, hi".
