The Apple store had no screen protectors for the iPad, and the clerk told me that they had no plans to stock any. I wonder if that means a redesign is coming soon? They had no cases, either. Not even sleeves. As soon as they got them in, they sold them

Anyway, I bought what I was able to, a wireless keyboard and a stand. However, the stand may be rendered redundant because when I got home, I hunted around online and ordered this case, which doubles as a stand and allows display at multiple angles. Of course, if I keep the iPad in the folio, no one will see my neat Gelaskins. So many accessories, so little time.

I also got a screen protector. I think it's funny that it cost more than the folio case.

JJill had a sale, so I bought some shirts for the day job. Then it was on to the grocery store with the good fish counter--wild Alaskan King salmon and wild Alaskan sockeye were got, as well as tuna steaks. The store also has a good bakery--whole grain rolls and muffins were bought in excess. That's what the deep freeze is for.

The herbed pork t-loin was delicious, so moist and tender. Had it with steamed broccoli and little red potatoes roasted with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and dill. Didn't go with a white, but had a cabernet sauvignon instead. Gallo Estate, OK, but it was pretty good.

In other news, I just saw that Cillian Murphy is in Inception. This may just drive me to go see it. Wouldn't cross the street to see DiCaprio, but Mr. Murphy is another matter. I think it's the eyes. And the bones. That man is going to age in a most interesting manner, methinks.

In other other news, the firecrackers are cracking, King is edgy, and Gaby is woofing at me because King is getting all the attention. Gonna be a long evening.

It's crazy.

I may keep the BookArc stand for use at home, and use the folio when i travel. Or maybe not. I do wish the Apple store had had screen protectors in stock. They carry them for phones. I don't know why they wouldn't have them for the iPad.

The only reason I have mine now is because I won it. I wasn't going to buy one until wip was well and truly out of my hair, either. Aaaaand wip is still in my hair, and the iPad is a distraction.
