Asics Gel-Nimbus 10:

Ok so I went for a run last night. The shoes are fantastic. Other than the fact that it was 92 degrees out and I hadn’t brought any water (there goes me thinking it’d be another short run) I had a really great run. I’ve got no pain and ran 2.5 miles before deciding that the lack of water probably wasn’t a good idea. Normally I can run 0.5 miles before I get some kind of discomfort in my shins and calves. Fantastic!

Best Buy:

This IM conversation sums it up…

MonkeyPunky: ugg i have a third copy of AoC coming in
Spasticon: lol
Spasticon: I have an extra copy arriving today too.
MonkeyPunky: i pre ordered from best buy a while back
Spasticon: I need to return it to bestbuy.
MonkeyPunky: ha
Spasticon: Bestbuy is horrible.
Spasticon: I’m never preordering games from there again.
Spasticon: They’ve screwed up my last 2.
Spasticon: Did you get the email apologizing and giving a $10 gift card?
MonkeyPunky: on sunday they sent me an email saying my CC got declined, i called in and asked them to run it again because i used that cc everyday for lunch and stuff, including that day
MonkeyPunky: yeah
MonkeyPunky: the lady wouldn’t run it until i called my cc company first (i should have lied)
MonkeyPunky: so i called them verified everytthing was okay, called best buy again and they re ran it
MonkeyPunky: later that evening i get an email saying it was declined again
MonkeyPunky: and it was going to be cancelled if i didn’t do something about it
MonkeyPunky: so i just ignored it and bought the CE
MonkeyPunky: then i get an email that it shipped
MonkeyPunky: then another email about a $10 credit
Spasticon: Yea they’re ridiculous.
MonkeyPunky: i’ve really liked their pick up in store though
Spasticon: They were going to send me my pre-order bonus pack in June until I called them and asked them to find me an in-store pickup.
Spasticon: Yea I think they’re fine if you can do in-store pickup.
MonkeyPunky: yeah
Spasticon: But… you can’t select in-store pickup on a pre-order.
Spasticon: It’s really stupid.
MonkeyPunky: nope
MonkeyPunky: i put that on my feedback when i originally pre ordered saying that i was disappointed that pre orders were not eligible for instore pick up
