I want an iPod. Badly. I've been seesawing on the idea: Part of me keeps thinking of other mp3 players, cheaper ones, ones with radios in them, some even with more memory. But dood. I'm not terribly good with electronic devices, yes? I have yet to figure out how to punctuate when I text message someone with my cell phone. If I accidentally change the font size I have to have Tyson fix it because I can never find where to change it (you'd think it would be in settings, but no). Every time I need to change something on my digital camera, it takes a bit for me to find it.

But the damn iPod? Someone had told me that you could move stuff by sliding your finger around the little circle thingie on the front. With just that knowledge, I figured out how to get around on one on display at costco. "Oh look, playlists! Ooh, you can list things by album! Neato! Damn, this thing is easy to use."

I cannot deny that they also just look spiffy. The fact that that even comes into consideration is actually sort of annoying. "Goddamn," I tell myself, "everyone has a freaking iPod because they look 'cool.' I'm a sheep! Do I really want to pay extra just because I like how it looks?" Well, geez, that's how I pick my damn clothes, right? Gah.

My dad couldn't figure out why I just don't buy one. "Hell," he said, "You have a hell of a lot more disposable income than I do." Well, sure, but I'm trying to get into an apartment, hello? Then, I told him, "You realize, the cost of an iPod on sale is a whole week's income for me." His response? "Oh."

Grrr.

Gimme an iPod. Takes up so much less room than a discman and a cd wallet, goddamnit. And then I could carry pretty much my entire CD collection with me everywhere I go, and that is so damn cool.
