Becca, Jen, Gavin, Cari and I went out to see “In Good Company” this afternoon. I like Dennis Quaid, and Topher Grace, and Scarlett Johannsen. And I also really liked the movie. There was something that just felt real about it. Nothing ever felt “Hollywood-ized” about the story they were telling. It felt like real people, and real problems, and a realistic conclusion. Good flick.
Afterwards, I went to Fry’s. I’ve been in the market for an external hard drive (for backup/archive purposes) and I hadn’t been to check out the new store (it opened back in December). I picked out a hard drive that seemed like a good value, and that had a nice rebate, and began wandering the aisles just browsing.
As I entered the TV section, I was overwhelmed by a loud pop song and glanced at one of the screens. Ten TVs in a row were showing the same thing — Britney Spears gyrating on stage at some concert.
Standing in the row watching very intently were — I counted them — nine men. Just standing. And staring.
I had to smile as I walked past.
That’s some good marketing right there.
I have a 160 gb Maxtor One Touch external drive and really like it.
I almost bought that exact drive. Instead, I got a 160gb Iomega One Touch. They had a $50 rebate going, and I’m a sucker for a sale!
