Highs and lows
According to the Yahoo! Weather widget on my iPhone (seriously the most amazing thing in the world, despite the occasional shortcoming), the high at my parents' house is 59 degrees, while the low is 60.
I don't know, you tell me.

Hello little boys, little toys
I made the most insane impulse buy today:
It's not necessarily an impulse buy, in that I have planning on getting and iPhone since I watch the keynote live months and months ago (I was unemployed, and am -- and forever will be -- a big nerd). Here's what happened once I got it home:
- Open amazing iPhone box. Apple seriously has some of the best packaging in the universe. I am almost afraid to pick the phone up. I feel like I should put it in its case before I even turn it on for the first time.
- Open the smaller box containing documentation. The first thing I see is the words "Finger Tips" (great Poe song, btw), also that is a little sexual, way to go Apple. I guess that's appropriate, as this is the sexiest phone ever. Not since Alexander Graham Bell ...
- Plugging it in ... wow this is too cool for words. It was ridiculously easy replacing my old Cingular phone with this one. And by Cingular I mean AT&T. Whatevs.
- Now I have to sync it. This will take a while, I'm thinking.
- It's been about 2 hours since I started at step 1 and I'm still working on syncing. I was obviously not prepared for this before it happened. I still have no idea how to even use this phone.
- Another hour has passed. I have updated my contacts and calendars, and copied some music. I think I will try photos next. Then I need a slammin' ringtone. I tried typing on it and it went pretty well actually. Score!
- Apparently you are stuck with the ringtones they give you, none of which really sound like ringtones at all. I think I'll just keep mine on vibrate 24/7. I was hoping you'd be able to use your iTunes library to pull ringtones from, but apparently not. It is now nearly 4 hours since I've started and I think my iPhone is ready to travel with me tomorrow. I haven't even talked on it yet! Also, my dumb ass forgot to take the photos off of my old phone before activating my new one, so now they are forever lost. I'm only sad about one of the photos. I'll see what I can do, however.

i am lame
Also, I feel that it is very important to explain why I'm up so early ...
... my new macbook will arrive by 10:30 this morning.
And I have spent (and will continue to spend) my time this morning refreshing the FedEx tracking page to know when my new toy hops onto the truck and heads on home. I am so lame.
