Shopping.
Nina has a nice post commemorating our shopping trip today, complete with photos of: the black Corvette that passed us, cute kids at the Apple Store children's table, and the two of us as photographed by a really nice digital movie camera at the Sony Store. By the way, I don't agree with her interpretation of the mentality of the man in the Corvette. I think he just wanted to hang around with another cool car. Nina was convinced the car looked "like a gun." In the Sony Store picture, you can see the carrying case I bought for my laptop. It's orange with three-dimensional dots!

Not the first time it's been observed - a midlife midcrisis macho male with an unresolved castration complex driving a darth vader corvette who can't bear the humiliation of being dusted at the line by two smart babes on a shopping mission in their silver bullet audi with a camera and a couple of kickass blogs.
Come to think of it, maybe it is the first time.
Funny, lmeade. And, yeah, I think it was the blogs that made him need to prove himself.
Actually, it was much more disturbing to a Corvette man or maybe anybody to be passed by L'il Greenie (my old Beetle), about which a few old guys said to me "I'm going to squash that bug."
It's a shame that "smart babes" aren't secure enough in their own sexuality to avoid sexist remarks about someone else because of their car...Maybe the Manolo Blahniks you girls must have just bought pinched a bit too tight?
Or perhaps it's just unflattering when anyone does it, he said, tongue firmly planted in cheek...
Ann,
Smart Assery aside, I do like the photo of you and Nina looking at the camera in Sony store. It has a "Lethal Weapon" buddy picture kind of feel, like you've just looked at an exploding bus flying through the air or something...maybe you should both do a photo blog "sitcom" or "action film." That'd be cool...
Hold on a second. If there's going to be a buddy film, don't leave me out. I wasn't able to make the shopping excursion but I'm always up for photo blog adventures. We can go for a Charlie's Angels threesome kind of thing. Ann can play the Farrah role, Nina the Kate Jackson role and I'll be Pam Grier. I know she wasn't in the series, but she would have been damn good in it had they cast her.
Tonya, you were writing that just as I was responding to your comment in this post and bringing up "Thelma and Louise." I note that filmmakers are much more likely to have teams of three women than three men. With men, they always go with two for some reason. Except "Three Musketeers." Maybe the team of three is a male concept. So, yeah, "Charlie's Angels" ... I really am all kinds of Farrah! And Nina is Kate-like, now that you mention it. And better Pam Grier than Jacklyn Smith! You can totally be Pam Grier.
Yikes! I lack the greying class of John Forsyth, but I wield the gut of David Doyle! (but not the lisp!)
Some assume the Bosley role; others have it thrust upon them. Ladies, talk into the speaker box and I'll pass out the plane tickets to exotic locales, lipstick flamethrowers, and curling iron tasers...
Ann, have you been hiding a sister who looks like Cheryl Ladd?
Ron, who wanted to be Tom Selleck in "Magnum PI", but wound up Orsen Welles in "Touch of Evil"
P.S. Did you know there's a Brazilian version of Charlies Angels where they just shoot the original US scripts in show order! No annoying writers needed!
aha!
RLC should be Charlie!
(uh oh, now I'm causin' nuthin' but trouble!)
