In normal driving I wouldn't be surprised if you can get 60-90K miles out of today's ceramic pads. And the rotors shouldn't warp just going to the supermarket. Who rotated your tires? Did they use torque wrench?
You might want to check with the dealer or call the Toyota hot line. Who knows, you might get goodwill warranty service.
The 2002 redesign coincided with increased rotor warpage problems. Maybe it's the cheaper brake pads? Don't know.
There was a TSB back then and people got free rotors. Not sure if 2008 has them or if they'll honor past 1year/12K miles like you are. But give them a call. You'll never know.

and for the record i did do a search and could not find at what intervals brakes should be changed on newer cars.
thanks in advance for any input.
