Every image of the iPhone I see makes me drool. Want badly... So long to wait!
All my best wishes to you on 4th July...
Firstly, to all my friends and family reading this who know about the situation here in Seattle... thanks for your thoughts, prayers, and positive energy. This has been one of the longest days in my life but, despite all the delays and the waiting, everything turned out with the best possible results we could hope for.
Waiting, as they say, is the hardest part.
In an effort to distract my head, I put in a very full day. First I went to see Transformers, which was pretty freakin' cool. I love that they never cheated you out of a transformation or a battle. You see everything. And there are few things better than watching giant robots beat the crap out of each other...
Where the film failed me was in the utterly pointless deviations from the actual story. By the time we got to Sam's mom talking about masturbation, I was just plain pissed. It wasn't funny. It wasn't interesting. It was just needless distraction. Why? And then there's the whole military sub-plot that goes nowhere. Why? But worst of all... John Turturro, who I actually enjoy as an actor, plays a character "Agent Simmons" who was so unbelievably annoying and stupid that he very nearly ruined the movie for me. Why? Somebody needs to be in the editing room with Michael Bay so they can slap him upside the head when he makes stupid decisions to include crap like this, because otherwise it was pretty good flick.
Then I went to see Fantastic Four 2, which was better than the awful first film, but still a far cry from what a Fantastic Four film should be. The only real reason to see the movie is for Silver Surfer, who rightfully kicks ass...
I found myself almost wishing that the Fantastic Four weren't in their own film so I could see more of him. That's pretty sad. Overall it was mediocre, but I was glad to have seen it.
And, of course, I stopped to take a look at the iPhone up close and in person. And, of course, it's just as amazing as everybody says it is. And, of course, I want to have an iPhone now more than ever before. Everything about it is just cool. Particularly the screen and web browser, which is mind blowing...
Blogography looks great, and is totally readable in horizontal mode, even without zooming...
A pity that they're sold out absolutely everywhere.
But not surprising.
I liked the human parts of Transformers. Shia is a really good actor, and I think the humor of the parents was a nice addition. The Bumblebee peeing part was the only part that really annoyed me.
The CG was amazing - you never felt that you were watching graphics - they felt like they were right there.
I loved every moment that the Silver Surfer was on screen, too - he looked amazing, and Doug Jones physical acting was perfect. I also enjoy Johnny and Ben - their characters are good, and I wish they'd dispense with the rest of the cast. What was up with the actress playing Alicia? Apparently to be blind now you have to look retarded?
Dave, I'm glad things are working out for you personally...I am sending you my most positive vibes right now. Can you feel it?
Good luck finding your iPhone. I hope you can get one soon!

Dave, glad all is well as all can be. Having a friend who has just waltzed into Cingular and waltzed out with an iPhone, no lines, no wait, no nothing, I know your pain, he is currently texting me about how cool it is and how lame I am for not having one, but I'm on Sprint...what can I do... Apple, why hath thou forsaken me?????????
Blogography does look pretty smoothe on that thing, nice work making your page iPhone compatible years before it was fashionable, kudos.

Can't wait to see both those flicks.
I must say I'm a little stumped about the "sitch in Seattle" because my feedreader said there were 4 new entries, and it duplicated the recovery one and didn't list out a couple others, and I don't see anything about SEA but I guess if you wanted to share you would.
I'll send you positive energy anyway. I'm actually quite good at it; I've been told I could be a professional healer. Seriously.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the Blog love. All is going to plan here and recovery looks good. Many more steps to take, but the positive energy helps.
C U soon and have fun in Chicago
