Why, you ask?  I dunno.  Lazy or something, I guess.  I was only gone for five days in December and otherwise lounged around here avoiding the bitter cold outside and enjoying the softness of my couch and bed.  But I don’t know that there is a ton to write about.

My [refurbished] iPod was being dramatic and pretended to break…about one month after warranty was done.  So I debated about getting a new one (since the repair price for an iPod not under warranty is about the same as purchasing a new one with more memory), and had for a while decided that I would wait.  But, with a plane ride to Tampa coming up, I was convinced to buy another.  So…I have a silver (because they don’t come in white any more) 80gb iPod.  There are two things cool about it.  First, it fits in a coin purse my sister brought back from Amsterdam for me…and I wasn’t sure what I was gonna do with the coin purse…and the iPod is too thin to fit in the old case.  The second is the Cover Flow function…like looking through a jukebox at all of the cover art that is available.  Now, some of the cover art in the iPod looks different than what I actually have as cover art…and things like Jay’s album covers aren’t in my iPod…but it’s still cool.

There’s also some iPod recycling program…so when I went to Syracuse about a week and a half ago, I brought the old 20gb iPod with me to see if I got some sort of coupon or something for it.  Turns out you get a discount on a new iPod…which I already have.  So…I brought it back home.  And when I got home, my iPod turned on…like as if to work normally.  Weird.  So…I have two now, and I don’t know what to do with them.  Fun though, right?

OK…off to eat lunch.  Take care!
