i was at best buy about an hour ago to DVD not-shop*, and noticed there was still a line to get into the store. now, i know the line is more than likely for the buying of the playbox 3000 ennui (or whatever the frak the system is that just got released), but didn't that sell out like days ago? are these stinky people waiting for the next shipment? have the best buy goons been lying to them and saying they still have some in stock, but only for those that are really committed to owning it?then i started thinking maybe best buy has become a club. they had the "line starts here" sign and the sign on the door about the maximum capacity; all that was missing was the bouncer and a door guy with a clicker to keep track of how many people were inside. which got me to thinking, if best buy had a bouncer to keep the riff-raff out, what are the qualifications? could i do that job? i'm sure you could keep a bunch of geeks out with a caustic remark or two or a picture of a scantily clad starbuck or six or t'pol (or apollo in a towel or that new dr. who for those female and gay geeks). i think i'd be more than qualified.
wanting to share this with someone, i decided to call leanne, but this raised another question: who the frak is kirk? as i was scrolling down the menu on my phone, this kirk and his number were right before leanne's. did i somehow befriend the bumbling idiot of stars hollow? (i sincerely doubt it.) so i started scrolling through the menu to see if there were any other numbers or names i didn't recognize. i wonder if i should delete joel's number when, in the year and half i've had it, i've never called him up, even to just briefly chat about the o.c. why is my rebound guy's number still programmed? and why does t-mobile automatically program customer care and 411 into your phone book? huh. no other weird names. delete time; goodbye, kirk, whomever you are.
reading time. enjoy the rest of your saturday, dear readers.
*there has to be a better word for when you look and covet DVDs yet don't purchase them. i suppose "unshop" would work in a pinch, but it sounds more like it means "the act of returning something you have purchased", and it sounds like "nun-shop", too, which would be a store i'd like to see. i mean, where do you go when you need to buy a nun at the very last minute?
