First of all, this lovely lazy Saturday morning, I would like to state for the record that I am spoiled and that I have the nicest parents in the entire world. They met me for dinner last night, which I later found out was just an elaborate ruse to get me to the Mac store so that they could replace the iPod that was stolen on Monday. See? NICEST PARENTS EVER. And then they followed me home--out of their way--to make sure I got inside okay. I so don't deserve any of this. I'm not that nice.
(I would also like to state for the record that the iPod Touch is a total rip-off. Cute, yes, but compare: 16-Gb iPod Touch for $399; 80-Gb iPod Classic (video iPod) for $249. WTF? I'm just sayin'.)
And now:
