on the drive in to work i stopped by a phone store to see if they had any earhooks.  the guy knew what i was talking about, but they didn’t have any.  he ordered some and told me they should be in by friday.  i hope so.  after work, i hit the 600 mark.  what a blah point to hit it though: riding down a generic city street, the streets just started to get wet with some rain.  in good news, i was headed to the mac store in the galleria where i bought a 15-gig ipod.  when i came out, it was raining pretty hard.  put on my rain gear and rode home.  everything’s ready for the maintenance appointment tomorrow.  excellent…
