waking and turning

So I indeed went to Fry's and not church, because I was awake at 7:30 without even setting an alarm, and despite not at all wanting to go riding in a van for the next 4 hours, I had to be awake for some reason so I flipped a coin. Fry's won, I got up and showered.
So we picked Clifton and his brother up, took them to the airport, and turned right around and hit Fry's. Indeed, it is every bit the geek wonderland I've been told it is. I wish they'd build one in a place less shitty than Renton so I could frequent it. Such is living in the upper corner of the country.
I then spent several hours rewiring stuff around the house and playing with my Fry's loot (wireless keyboard, whee!). It was quite relaxing.
Lea then messaged me insisting I drop my playing and join her and Josh at Gordito's, which I wasn't about to say no to. And again, the place was exactly as good as Josh had repeatedly informed me, which is to say it was awesome.
We decided to pick up Erin B and see Garden State at Pacific Place, which was, yet again, as excellent as people have said.
I think that's all I have to say about any of that. Happy birthday, Josh.

I am also now ~$400 poorer but in a week will be two large hard drives richer. Here's to crossed fingers.

I need to get going if I'm going to hit Bellingham before midnight.

What is this place you speak of?

Where I come from "Fry's" is a grocery store.... but then again, "Cost Cutter" is also a hair salon.

Imagine if Home Depot, Newegg.com and Radio Shack had a threesome. Fry's Electronics would be the result.

ooooooooooooooh

fry's may be a geeky wonderland, but their managers suck--I went there on a busy day when all the sales associates were on the floor, and he *wouldn't* answer questions people asked him until an old grandfatherly type needed help. Ageism rears it's ugly head...

Fry's employees are infamously hostile. I wouldn't expect anything but rudeness from them. You shouldn't go there expecting help - know what you want before departing :D
