merry christmas to me!

deadPod has been replaced! I can't wait to pick up nano when I get to Houston!

Buying the red one means I'm friends with Bono now, I think. So nobody tell him it just happened to be my favorite color option.

deadpod

I dropped my iPod last night getting off the tube. It was unprotected (despite the fact that I have a perfectly good shock-absorbing ipod carrier at home) and really took a major ding to the casing. The screen looked fine, but no amount of button-pushing seemed to bring it out of the seizure I think it was having. I could hear all sorts of things happening inside my little music machine, which persisted for a long time.

When I finally looked at it again right before going to bed, it had switched itself off. Cautiously optimistic, I attempted to turn it back on, and when it tried to sputter to life (with much noise and complaint), this picture appeared on the screen.

I am pretty confident that means my ipod is now a deadpod. May he rest in peace.

i've been outed

Somebody at work Googled me and now they know I have a blog. "They" likely only means a particular pair of wind-ups to whom I affectionately refer as Statler and Waldorf.

Regardless, it's still a bit unsettling.

sad

A friend who attends All Souls just told me that John Stott won't be preaching this Sunday. He's been ill recently, and apparently not yet feeling well enough to deliver a sermon. I'm so sad! Sad because he's been ill and because I've been looking forward to this Sunday for a LONG time.
