The only thing he has from Mickey D's?
Juice and a coffee.
Eating some Salt&Vins.
Crosswording.
I sat in my chair.
It made a funny noise so Alex and I laughed.
Of course.
Old Man responded,
"Don't laugh! I know those chairs make noises! Hah."
Cutest old man.

Those who are close to me knows I'm a HUGE fan of crossword puzzles, they're besties with my iPod especially when I travel. When I'm not on the road, I often do them before I go to bed.
In the mood for a lot of bokeh lately, hehe. I love the afternoon light streaming through my window so I shot this... and so happened the shadow casted was crossed too! LOL :P
Hope you guys are enjoying your weekend, so far I'm really enjoying mine! (albeit drowning in French grammar :x )

Silly me: after the iPhone 3g had been out for a full week, I thought I could stroll right into the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue & 59th Street in mid-town Manhattan, and simply buy one without any muss, fuss, bother, or delay.
But when I arrived at 11 AM, I found a line of approximately 150 people waiting outside in the broiling sun, not seeming to move forward at all; it turned out that the Apple store "concierge" folks were letting them in in groups of ten, when the previous ten had been taken care of. When I asked the woman how long she had been waiting, she said, "Four hours" -- she had arrived at 7 AM, having already determined that the AT&T stores were sold out throughout New Jersey and Connecticut.
Well, I'm a gadget freak and a Mac fan, but there's a limit to my passion for such things; four hours was just too much. So instead, I decided to take a bunch of pictures of the people who were in the line. Of course, I have no idea whethere the people queued up in front of Apple stores in other cities (or at other stores here in NYC) are similar to this group ... but I'm inclined to think that they are. And if that's true, then the demographics of this group -- in terms of age, gender, nationality, ethnic groups, etc. -- is particularly intriguing. I saw only one guy dressed in a corporate uniform of suit and tie; Apple may be trying to break into the "enterprise" market, but that's not who was standing in line for all those hours in the sun...
