Bjork!

Still laughing 5 minutes later when I should be finding something to wipe diet coke off my monitor with...

Possibly.  I've switched over to Vox - it wasn't making sense for me to pay for typepad and then never use the damn thing.  :)

• Cherry coke zero.  Its damn good for something with fake sugar.
• This sticker for my truck... or is that just too dorky?

After a year of use and abuse, my first IPod has officially died, god rest its cute little soul.

About a month ago I started having to reset it every couple of days.  Last week, I had to restore it to factory settings and reload all my songs.  On Wednesday I got the Sad Mac face, but was able to set it to disk mode and get it to run again at the gym...  I got the Sad Mac face again on Thursday but was able to reset it one more time.  Alas, there was no resetting of the IPod this morning.  :(

I took it into the swanky-ass Apple Store at the Biltmore and asked the guy if it could be fixed.  He said that it could, but sometimes the fix takes a couple of weeks and costs almost as much as a new one.  I could not handle the bus without an IPod, and 90+ minutes of working out every night would seem like a goddamn eternity without my little soundtrack.

Yeah, fuck that.  I was tempted to get a cute little Nano (biggest size is 8 GB), but for the same price I got the sexy black 30 GB and a cute pink protective case with a belt clip (the old IPod was rather, ahem, well loved).  I turned in my old one to be recycled and got a 10% discount, woot!

Its funny to think that when I got the IPod last August, I wasn't sure how much use I'd get out of it, but a year later when it breaks, it renders 2.5 hours of my day unbearable.

I actually "cackled" out loud as I crossed the street.  And numbnuts was still looking at me in the rearview as he pulled up to the next light.

Note to self: Wear boring white tank tops and jeans more often.

I can't believe The Greg^TM and never went to the one in Tempe until Sunday... The parking lot was frighteningly crowded, but wow.  Just, wow.  The stark furniture, the frosted glass, the plain dishes, the cheap silverware... and the lighting section, OMG.

We got a desk, an office chair, some dishes, new silverware to replace the mishmash of Walmart crap we've been using for the last 10 to 12 years, and a kitty tent.

The hot tea, the freshly sliced mango, and my favorite kind of reduced fat peanut butter on wheat toast!  This almost makes me wish for an excuse to work from home more often...  except for that whole I Don't Want my AC to be Broken 24/7 thing.

Plus, I don't know how much I'll get done if I have to hold the cat.  :)

I can't look away!
