I can haz iPhone?
Jun. 15th, 2009 10:21 amWell, I've ordered it. Apple says "Delivers by June 19th" by which I think they "Delivers on June 19th." Given the mad rush for iPhones every year around this time, I don't completely believe that. I just need to be familiar with it before ReaderCon. (As previously mentioned, ReaderCon will be a test of whether I can actually use it as a pocket moleskine replacement of sorts.)
I am a bit worried that the email confirmation I got from them implies that the phone is free and I only have to pay sales tax on the unsubsidized price of the phone. If I go to the Apple Store and ask for my order status, I get the correct price. We'll see how it goes...
We got notes for the Deconstruction my improv class did on Friday. The impression I get from the notes directed at me is that I'm fine if I ever get myself on stage. Also, this morning on the way to work, I think I figured out how to improvise stronger, more interesting characters. (I was thinking about this past Sunday's class and how I could have done better...)
I "finished" a story this weekend and sent it out to a few friends to beta. I may "finish" another story soon. I don't want to bombard my friends with two stories so close to each other. If I didn't ask you to crit a story this weekend, I may ask you soon. If I did ask you to crit a story, I'm not in a hurry.
Having said that, I find it a weird coincidence that ReaderCon and I seem exactly out of sync when it comes to its writing workshop. i.e., the ReaderCon writing workshop only seems to exist when I don't have a story to send or can't make it to the workshop. I can't speak for this year yet, but it's been like that for the past few years. This year, I can have a story ready to submit and I can actually attend the workshop. We'll see if they have it. It's always run by terrific people and I'd love to do it some year.
