erica's joys :)

I called it. Taylor Hicks won American Idol and I don't think they could have had a more fitting winner. He's so cute...something about the personality mixed with the dignified grey hair...yum. Meanwhile, the number of votes that came in was pretty huge. If people showed up to vote for president in those kinds of numbers, maybe, gas would be cheaper right now? ;-)

So my trip to New York was good fun. I did go to the Apple store opening but I didn't actually go in. By the time I got there the line was ridculously long. No Macbook for me and definitely no iPod since they weren't giving them away. I got some pictures of the outside of the place though. Its rather nice looking and the underground store concept is hot. I do wonder what would happen in case of a fire with a store full of people. That day was pretty awesome all around as I was 100 ft away from at least 2 billionaires in one day. Ah, if only richness rubbed off.

This weekend I'm picking up my sister and nephews and driving up to NC for our cousins wedding. I'm worried that the trip is going to be extremely boring, given that I'm used to roadtripping with my iPod. :-( How I miss MyPod.

Last thing to touch on before I go to bed. The DaVinci Code. I will start by saying that I am a Christian. That being said, I'm also a fairly smart Christian and can easily discern fact and fiction. Here's a hint; if a book is in the fiction section of the bookstore, its probably fiction (*shock*) and should be considered as such. I can't understand why people make such a big fuss about a book. It's not like the DaVinci Code is out to replace the Bible. It's simply a good FICTIONAL story that makes for good reading.

Time for sleep now. If I don't post again before Friday, have a SAFE weekend folks.
