Me, Myself and iPod

*giddy laugh*

After months of waiting and saving, a birthday and a tax return, I screwed my courage to the sticking point and stepped boldy into Best Buy, making a beeline toward the 'Portable Audio' section. I bought an iPod.

A brand new 30Gb, iPod Photo, to be precise. On it one will find all of my 2800 songs (yes, I hate piracy, ask my students), all of my 1200 photos, every document I've ever written, my entire design portfolio and all of my videos, uncompressed. I can wake up to music, go to sleep to music, scroll quickly through all my photos, read documents stored on it, import all of my Thunderbird contacts, to-do lists and schedules, or just use it like a big 30Gb flash disk. If I get bored, it even has solitaire.

And for all those who think I've gone off the financial deep end, don't worry. I bought a four dollar camera case from Walmart to put it in.

Jess is jealous of my new toy, so why don't you help yourself and help her win a free one... (we're only two short of getting it) Sound to good to be true, check out this article by my friend Joy (www.karagraphy.com).

I see how it is, the ipod takes precedence over me! A little shady about it taking my place...*sniffle* not sure about the whole ipod thing!!

**giggle**

It's so beautiful....*tear*

Jess, you are a wicked, wicked women. Asking for help spelling an insult on my own blog! Where will it end? Pretty soon you'll be asking me to slap myself across the face. *wink* In need of comfort? I'm reminded of a Little Rascals quote: "What's yours is mine and what's mine is ours."

As for you, teary-eyed, I'll think of you every time I listen to any of my 2800 tracks, or look at any of my 1200 photos. I'm telling you, do the free one--you're worth it, baby!

Aww... I'll let you listen to it on our little boat ride to Bermuda, k? And I take it back... you're not a wicked woman, just a sneaky one. I guess I just underestimated your sneakiness. :-P

Congratulations, ol' boy. The day that we were told would never come has finally arrived. I'm happy you’re happy... just don't let Jessica cry for too long. It makes me sad to hear she's sad. =) Love you!

Ain't it grand? Can't wait to show it off to you.

wow, 30GB Photo! It's good you waited to get it, because now you got the new 30! My parents were gonna get me one for my B-day, but the bowl-athon prize for most money collected was a 20GB so they thought I would win, but I came in second!My friend beat me, people sponsered her more money and her family gave alot so.....I was mad....should have tried harder, but ya know stuff happens. I got over it though, I made a bargin with my family (put a lot of my money in the bank account that will probably go to college) and got one for a late B-day gift.
