So Apple decided to add a porn app for the iPhone. For only $2, you can download this app and look at various naked women, and you must also rate each picture. WTF- this is a company that banned an e-book app because it could be used to download the Kama Sutra. Which is at least educational in a sense.
Now I am going to have to sit next to these pervs on the subway, buses, trains and in restaurants. Who am I kidding- probably at work too. If I sit next to one of these jerk offs, it won't be pretty, in fact- it will be sexual harrasment and I will start a petition and perhaps a lawsuit. There is a time and place for everything. Don't get me wrong- this would be a fine app if it were for the personal computer. People can do whatever they want at home. But the iPhone is a portable device that goes everywhere with its owner. Boundaries, people!
And, when you download the app it asks if you are over 17- yes Apple, that will keep all the kiddies away. How would you feel if your daughter sat next to some random guy on the bus who was not only looking at hot asians (one of the categories) but also RATING them? Fantastic message about a woman's worth. Or how would you feel if you forgot to hide your iPhone and your kids are wondering why there are naked women on daddy's phone?
I can only hope this is a ploy by Apple to get all the no-ass-getting guys in the world to run out and buy iPhones so they can look at porn on the go. And after their sales go up 80%, they pull the app from the market. Suckers!!!

When they say close to restaurants boy do they really mean it!

My Civic Duty
People who hate being summoned for jury duty must really love their job. I got called in last year and didn't know what to expect. You can wear jeans and you have anywhere from one to 5 days off work. The train ride to Jamaica Queens was much shorter and emptier than my ride into midtown. Sure the first hour was arduous, filling out forms, laughing at all the people who've no idea how to fill them out, sitting in a large room with a bunch of strangers, listening while the guy up front told us what to do.
The only thing you have to remember is to pay attention for your name. That's it, really. I brought books and magazines, there were computers with free internet, you were able to talk on your cell phone and they played movies for us. Plus, they let us take all the coffee/cigarette breaks we wanted, all we had to do was sign out and not be gone for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Also, it is SO easy to get out of most cases once your name is called. They called me for a medical malpractice case, which would have had me in court for a month (which I SERIOUSLY considered- it would be great not to have a real job for part of the summer!!). I told them I once went to an affiliate hospital that treated me very badly, so I would no doubt side with the plaintiff. This was actually true though.
I never got called again, had an hour lunch break, talked on the phone, checked my email, read 2 books and watched "A Perfect Storm" and "Mrs. Doubtfire". I met some interesting people and it was nice to feel you could have so much fun with something that is required of every citizen.
I got to go home at 4, and was really sad when the guy handed me a slip that stated I would not be contacted for another 6 years. I took the train to a stop before I was supposed to get off, and walked the rest of the way home thinking all the funny characters I met today were a nice change from the normal characters I see everyday.

Who are you smoking?
I recently returned from Grand Cayman with Hub. GC is a gorgeous island, almost no poverty, and very clean. Seven Mile beach is gorgeous and the Marriott on the beach was too good to be true. Tortuga Rum Cake is about the best cake I have ever tried- there are all different flavors, banana was my favorite and their rum is fantastic. I tried mango- you didn't need to add anything to it. We had jerk chicken, ginger beer, red beans and rice, stews, and spice cake- it was a lot of fun trying the local cuisine. I always look for the unusual. What surprised me most was going to the gas station to buy water and seeing these behind the counter:

Where am I?
Here is an email I was cc'd on from the front desk today. I thought they wrongly included me and instead meant a coworker whose name also starts with A. Please note all names have been changed.

I swear, some people are in a world of their own. How does this in any way answer my question? Am I supposed to call this guy? Did Al Capone ask her to include me in this email? She gets the WTF award of the day :)
