I gave in...to the electronics

Back in October of 2005 I wrote a blog post about how hip I wasn't.
Don't mis-interpret what this blog post is about...I'm still not trendy.
Not in my clothes, not in my shoes. I dress for comfort...and hope to be somewhat stylish.

Electronically, things have changed for me.
I'm on my 2nd cell phone...and have been considering updating to a third.
I don't have dial-up service for my computer, I have broadband.
Not the quickest connection, basically Road Runner Lite. But still, quite significantly quicker than dial-up.
I don't have a laptop yet, just a desktop. But it was free, thank you Mrs. Ryder!

Today, I stepped up even further in the electronics catagory.
I bought an iPod Nano. A little early birthday present for myself.
And I LOVE it.
So much that I named it;Newman.
I'm listening to him as we speak.
Yes, it's love.
It's pathetic but I'm obsessed with him.
I've already downloaded a ton of songs and even a video.
Damn...modern technology is kick ass.
How else can you listen to Hall & Oates one second and Rihanna the next?
What station plays that?
None, not even those stations that claim they play all formats.
Not possible.

I just hope to leave my apartment sometime this weekend...if not, I'm sure you'll see me through my windows either infront of my PC looking at iTunes with my ear-buds in.
If I'm not at work Monday morning...notify the Geek Squad!
Back to Newman.....
