Ipod = Dead

My companion, my monochromatic 20Gb Ipod that helped me through my drastic weight loss a few years back has finally bit the dust.

I woke up one day last week to head for a walk to listen to some tunes on my old friend, to find that completely randomly, the select button has stopped working… Seriously. The ipod works fine, except the select button.

We’ve had some good times, and some bad times, but mostly good times…. This ipod has came to Europe with me 3x in the last year alone.. Not to mention been on my arm hundreds of times to the gym, providing me with music, happiness, and occupying my mind while I worked out.

Thank you, Mr. Ipod.

I’m going to be listing the ipod on a few websites to see what kind of money I can get for it…. I’m hoping someone out there has a use for a perfectly good ipod, except for the select button. Chances are that someone will, i’ve sold craizer things (broken cell phones).

One appliance to rule them all!

Yesterday to my surprise I received a small sum of money that I had earned from a web design job I did a few months ago (we’re talking April)… So, Ive been thinking that I should use this unexpected cash to purchase a small appliance with… something inexpensive, but useful.. perhaps something I will enjoy for a long time..

I’ve decided that there are 2 possibilities…
1) a magic bullet (a mini blender type thing, usually seen on tv)
2) an espresso maker (this doesn’t need an explanation)

I’m going to go cash the check on my lunch break today, and then walk down Bloor street and see what I can find at a few small appliance stores that are in my area…

I cant tell you how excited I am to be able to make fresh salsa with a magic bullet, or even make a nice Americano with a double shot of espresso.
