Okay, so I now know that mr.laptop was shipped on the 24th. Ground shipping, 6-8 days.

sigh torture!

Twice in just the past week a delivery driver from a big delivery company (two different ones) has reported that he attmepted to deliver a package, when my wife had been there the whole time and no such attempt was made.

This has had a profound impact on my respect and attitude towards these companies. I think it is so cool how you can send stuff, and track it, and the drivers are all connected with their dispatch place and they can do all kinds of cool things to get these packages to you.

But there is a chink in the armor. I am bothered by this.

Today’s the first day I took my iPod out and about with me. Up til now, I’ve still be in the “how’s this work” phase.

Now I realize that I really want to put a lot more on it. I’ve got about 250mb or so, and that really doesn’t go far. Okay, actually, it does pretty well. I’ve got one audiobook and two albums and about anther album’s worth of various songs.

True Confession:

A few months back, we watched The Iron Giant. I had seen it before, and I think Megan had, but the girls had not.

I cried.
