amy and i made it to the opening of the apple store in oakbrook mall. it was yesterday from 6pm to 12 midnight. we got in line around 5pm and were about 150-200 people back. the first 1000 people received a cool white apple shirt with a blue aqua looking apple on the front with the text “oakbrook” on the front. kind of like the hard rock shirts that are branded per location. they also gave out some cool apple word magnets. they let you make up sentences using apple related marketing words like ipod, :-), itunes, apple, i love, etc.


while we were there we decided to replace my crappy creative labs pc speakers with these cool jbl creature speakers and subwoofer. we chose the metallic silver ones. they sound perfectly clear and thankfully so far they don’t pick up the darn mexican radio station broadcasting 1/4 mile from here. they look very cool on my parsons desk with frosted glass top. now all it needs is an apple 22” cinema display sitting next to it. we mainly bought the speakers for use with our soon to be born ipod’s.


we finished up most of our holiday shopping this weekend. we were up on friday at 5:30am to get some of the big post thanksgiving deals. i couldn’t believe some of the lines we saw at some of the stores. people are crazy when it comes to holiday shopping.


i finally picked up a copy of the body for life success journal. i plan on starting with it tomorrow.


amy’s sick with the stomach flu.


more tomorrow when i get that journal filled and started.
