My Apple Experience

So my wife's new laptop of 4 months had it's battery die on Saturday. Apparently this is very common with Apple laptops. I proceeded to schedule a reservation with the Genius Bar for Sunday at 4:45. I think its hilarious that its called a Genius Bar and its staffed the same way that Whole Foods and Amy's Ice Cream staff their stores. And if you have been in any of those stores you'd realize the staff that stuffs your bag with groceries and puts two scoops of Mexican Vanilla in your cup could be a prime example of reverse evolution.

The wait was 30 minutes to get a seat at the bar with a reservation. Then once I was up there the guy that was helping me constantly would move conversation from me to the next guy beside me. I had no ideal who he was directing questions to half the time other than the slight iphone reference. Quick iphone story... The bar was filled with people having issues syncing their iphones, needing a replacement iphone, etc...Anyways, I had this "brotha" help me out while constantly using the word slick and cool. I felt I was in a new remake version of The Warriors. After it was said and done it took close to an 2 hours to get a new battery. Going into an Apple store is liking going into a Ryan's on a Sunday after church. It's packed, loud, and the wierdest people come out the woodworks to have that moment with technology similar to when ET fingered Elliot's finger. That didn't come out right. Well you got the point. This is your warning when you take your hardware in for repair. Get ready for a mind blowing experience.

Live Free of Die Hard

Alfonso Cuaron is awesome. Children of Men is a ride from beginning to end and keeps you in all the action that happens. There are just some great action sequences and explosions that aren't over the top...in fact I would say the action has a lot of the same feel as Saving Private Ryan, albeit with less limb loss and explosions. The movie has a very dark human tone. As my friend P-Mart would say, "It's so black it's bleak." Check it out yo!

Personality Tests

I was reading my buddie's blog on his personality test so I decided to take one too. I guess it's the North Korean in me.

Dictator- ENTJ 60% Extraversion, 60% Intuition, 60% Thinking, 60% Judging

Have you no soul? It's clear you have no heart and that your blood runs cold, but really, do you have even one redeeming factor? Sure. You're a natural born leader. So was Hitler. You just don't like people, do you? You don't play games. You take charge. And there's very little room for mistakes in your world. You're forceful, intimidating and overbearing. Heard of the word "patience?" Trust me, it's a word and it's something you're sorely lacking. Believe it or not, you're not always right. Learn to have some patience for those who think differently from you, knobflap. From the way people's knees knock when they see you, you should have realised by now that you're not exactly a "people-person." You're more of a "people-eater." You just ain't tuned into people's feelings and probably couldn't care less whether you were anyway. Maybe you're not from this planet but the rest of us are. Sure, you're intelligent. So what? You have some semblance of power. Big deal. At least people LIKE the rest of us. ***************** If you want to learn more about your personality type in a slightly less negative way, check out this. ***************** The other personality types are as follows...

The Great Googoliny!

So we've updated our website at work with various kids games, etc... One of them which got our Accounting Manager stumped on a card game. I think I've probably spent about 30 minutes hitting up the games on this site. They are cheesy and old but addictive kinda like when that person you know wants to bust out a board game that no ones played in years but you find yourself sitting there after 5 hours attempting the greatest come back that board games have ever seen.

I like this one that I played. Check out the rating for both April and myself. Quite sweet and laughable at the same time. Noticed we either died together of old age or we both poisoned each other. In fact if I look hard enough she kinda looks like a he..wait a minute. Just for grins I posted some other couples that I know.



The scores get slightly worse...

...I'm not sure but I think this is my brother's actual view on marriage.
