Today was mostly about technology. I’ve been thinking about buying the Apple iTouch (handheld device for music, movies, tv show, photos, and internet access similar to the iphone but missing the phone). So I gathered up all of my Target gift cards totaling $150 and went out to purchase the gadget this morning. Once I got home I couldn’t wait to get it set up; unfortunately, I couldn’t get a strong enough internet wi-fi connection to download the necessary updates/software. So I went to a nearby place with excellent free wi-fi my doctor’s office actually! I camped out there for about two hours trying to get the iTouch set up but I didn’t have much luck. Just as I was about to give up and go to the gym my friend Anthony called to invite me over to pick up an article he found on New Zealand. So I went over to his house and stayed for about an hour. John’s flight from Chicago got in around 5:30 so I picked up takeout for us and met him at the house around 6:30 for dinner. John has tons of work to do before we leave on Thursday so I made plans to meet up again with Anthony and Katie after dinner to give John some space and quiet time to work. I met Anthony and Katie at a new restaurant in Uptown called Il Gatto for drinks… ginger ale for me, and more catching up. It was great to see Katie because it’s been months since we got together. Now it’s about 10:30 and I’m back at John’s getting ready to turn in for the night. The iTouch is working great! I finally got it set up at John’s earlier tonight. The iTouch is going to be great for those long flights next week, and I’m hoping to keep up with this blog while traveling with the aid of my new gadget.
