so i've got some walmart gift cards valued at a total of 34 bucks and i'm looking to get a mp3 player. freakin a. i should have gotten a mp3 with my best buy gift card. anyways, i've gotta choose. there's a 4gb one for 40 that uses AAA batteries or a 2GB with a rechargeable battery for 35. the $40 is double the storage space, but i freaking hate AAA batteries. in the long run, i guess the rechargeable one is a lot cheaper. it seems obvious, but it's only half the storage space. i guess i can live without that. which is more of a hassle: changing the batteries or changing the songs? i guess the batteries. there's never any AAA batteries around when you need them.
actually, they have a $40 2GB one with a video player and free shipping. i don't care about a video screen, but with free shipping, it would be cheaper than the one without the screen, so i might as well. but maybe i should check out what they already have in the store first? these look like quality players for so cheap. i went to the manufacturer's website, and they look legit.
frick, nevermind. no free shipping. haha, i'm glad you could join me in this thought process. aw heck, i think i'll splurge the extra five bucks for the view screen. it's gonna only end up costing me like $7 anyways.
argh! there's one for 50 that's got 4GB and a rechargeable battery. just to piss me off. cuz i just convinced myself to get that other one. that would end up costing me almost 20 bucks, which is like... ridiculously cheap for a 4gig mp3 player. but now i have to choose. 4gigs would be over 9 CDs. but 2 would be about 5. so.... i don't know. is it worth ten bucks for double storage space and no view screen? i really grew to love the view screen in the 5 minutes since i wrote about it. crap! cuz if the view screen is nice, like an ipod that would be good, but if it's not that great, i don't really care.
ok, i have to go to work. this is going to haunt me.
oh yea, i was listening to CD's while i was at work, but my CDplayer is draining batteries like crazy. it took like 6 hours to drain the two AA to dead instead of a week or two. ok, i'm out.
EDIT-
I decided to get the cheap one, and see if i can live with that. if it really bugs me, i can return it and order the expensive one, but if it's cool, then that's good cuz it's the cheap one. ya know? cool.
crap crap crap. the only reason i was getting the view screen one was cuz it was gonna be the same price as the other one when you have free shipping. but there isn't free shipping. so i gotta think about this more. lol, i'm so bad at making relatively easy decisions.
FINAL EDIT (i hope)-
Ok, i'm gonna get the viewscreen one because it says you can have e-books on it. which could be awesome. if it isn't awesome, or 2gigs isn't enough, i will return it. whew.
1.ok, it'll be a week or so until it gets here, but i'm excited for the mp3 player.
2. the first loveline in the archive was a pretty good one. the only time besides loveline that i actually laugh out loud now is when i'm laughing at myself for something. so that's nice.
Drew: were you raped?
Caller: well, my mom says i was...
Adam: yea, my mom is always tryin to tell me i got raped.
hahahaha
omg. i just realized that i could load loveline onto my mp3 player. i knew there was a reason i was so excited for the mp3 player. stuff like YadaYahweh, Prophet of Doom and Loveline can go on there! Heck yea.
3. i tried to set up my school schedule to start off easy and get gradually harder... because that's a form of procrastination... but it turns out that it actually cycles. last week ended up starting easy and ending harder as i fell more behind, but i buckled down today and almost finished my stuff before i had to go to work today. tomorrow i am gonna start a project and then finish it tomorrow, but last unit, i did the project in one day. it took all day, but i know i can do it if i have to. so i expect to slack off tomorrow. but yea, either tomorrow or the next day will be really easy, depending on when i do the work. Friday is catchup day as usual, and then monday i have my criminal justice stuff, which is easy, and tuesday is my CrimJ test, which is only slightly harder. i'm trying to put a positive spin on this so i can have some momentum goin into hump day.
