I wonder if my dad would dig an iPod for father's day.
Oh crap, that's THIS weekend. I thought it was next. Ah well, I'll get stuff shipped before the day, rather than a week later, which is my usual MO.
I've decided to go visit my folks over my birthday. I think my mom will be way way way too excited about that, but I'll survive. (This is the woman you can torture by waiting until your birthday to open the gifts she sent. She wants you to open them right away!) I haven't been in NM in summer in a very long time.
I'm hoping my dad will be OK with a late-arriving card for father's day, myself.
On September 23, 1900, Rice was chloroformed to death by his valet, Charlie Jones, who had conspired with an unscrupulous lawyer, Albert Patrick, to murder the aging millionaire and claim his estate using a forged will.
DUDE.
My brain totally exploded this morning, but then I learned that I would have a chance to add stuff to the plan in July, and I'm not going to be tied down to what I could come up with today. PHEW.
How much do iPods go for? I've been considering one for Scott, but never take it far enough to look at them, in case I fall in love and they're too expensive.

And then you vacuumed it up?
My postal lateness issues are compounded by the fact that my parents' postal district is really really screwed up and mail is late all the time. Like, weeks.
I get em cheaper through the caltech bookstore. The 4 gig is $229.00
My dad's birthday is the day after father's day, so I usually try to get him something really good when I can.
Ooh. That's what I was afraid, Jesse. Thanks. I won't look.
Even the $299 is too rich for my blood, right now. He's not my freakin' father.

I thought Father's Day was last Sunday, so I am a week early.

For the record, I love my iPod shuffle, which you can pick up for under a hundred. Not for everyone, maybe, but it's insanely portable and easy.
I do not tut-tut. I occasionally tch!, but I do not tut. I simply do not grasp the concept of expecting other business people to take you seriously when your goolie is waggling in the breeze, is all.
When men go to the office in see-through shirts and package-pouches, then cleavage, muffin-tops and thong-tops will be acceptable business attire.
...I also occasionally hmphf.
