I'm getting an iPod, yay me!
Well, really, yay Steve. Steve's company got me to do some spreadsheet cleanup work for them, and to give me incentive to use every second that Liam didn't need me on their work, they bribed me with an iPod nano for payment. Which is perfect. If anyone wants to bribe me with electronics, I am totally up for it :)
You do know about the nano right? It is tiny and light and beautiful and absolutely perfect for running with. You can get and armband for it and it has a timer built right in that will beep at you through your earphones. No more constantly looking at my watch while running to see if the timer has gone off yet cause I can't hear the beep over my music. So exciting. I can't wait for him to bring it home.
And the baby has napped fairly well today. This is definitely a good day.
Update: After Emira's comment, I decided to actually look into the timer thing 'cause I was working on assumptions, and it seems that the iPod nano has a stopwatch, not a timer. And that is not as useful to me since there is really no track near us. I run intervals, not laps. Oh well, I guess I'll have to keep using my watch until I work back up to 5k. Then a stopwatch will do. I'm still excited about it, just not quite as.

Oh, I didn't realize the nano had a timer built into it. I feel robbed! I love my iPod mini and use it for running, but also am constantly checking my watch... argh.

I LOVE my nano. At first I was a bit afraid to admit that to myself that I was in love with something that wasn't, you know, alive. But I think that maybe it's not such a bad idea to have at least one of my possessions (that isn't a musical instrument) something that I'm not apt to give away in one of my periodic fits of anti-materialism.
Mine is black. I have a nice little case for it. I sometimes listen to albums and sometimes I let it pick random songs for me. I have it in my pocket and hug it when I bring it out to look at it's beautiful beautiful color screen.
Are you liking yours?

I am liking it. I like that unlike Steve's shuffle, I can look at it and see what's on. A lot of the music I listen to comes from Steve and I like to take a look if I especially hate or like it. I'm still getting used to using it though. I hate getting fingerprints on it though, I need to get a case, I spend a lot of time polishing it...
