1) my ipod broke yet again. it frequently needs to be restored to its factory settings but now that i've upgraded to iTunes 7, the iTunes doesn't recognize it. I have decided to just send the damn thing back to Apple for repair. repair is free because it is still under warranty.
2) i still need my music. i bought a pre-owned 1GB Nano just to get me by while my video ipod is being fixed. a $110 purchase just to tide me over for the three-4 weeks it will take for my iPod to be fixed! some of my friends say i'm sick but i see it as a good trade off. and then i'll have two ipods! and every self-respecting consumer knows, what could be better than one of something but more than one of something!
i wonder if i'm addicted. i seem to remember samuel lurie telling me my life would be changed by the ipod. i fear he was right. i can no longer conceive of my life without the ipod.
and it's also interesting to note that i am addicted to the ipod, not just any regular ol' mp3 player. i need my ipod. coke, macdonalds, starbucks, ipod. our lives are controlled by brand loyalty.
