Ike has died again
Ike is dead. Again. Last time I left him alone for awhile and he resurrected himself. So far, no such luck. My showers have been quiet and lonely without him to keep me company. I get ready still and silent. In other words, my bathroom life is borrring. I miss him. I need him. So tomorrow we have an appointment at the Genius Bar to get him checked out. I have no receipt or documentation that he's legit since I bought him on eBay (an electronic WOP if you will...) so I'm sure I'll either get charged a fortune or turned away by the geeks in the neon green shirts at the Apple Store. He is pushing three years old now, and is quite ancient compared to his cousins that he sees at airports and gyms. I mean, he's still in black and white, folks! I think the new Nano's are adorable, but they don't have near enough memory. Right now I'm sitting at 4680 songs, which would play for 44.1 days, using 15.19 GB. That's a lot of tunes, right? And I couldn't possibly bear to think about parting with any of them. We all remember my attempt at cleaning out the fragrance drawer...

Karen, it's time for an upgrade. Buy a nano, and just rotate the playlists every once and a while.
I agree. Get the nano--you've got everything backed up on the computer anyway! :-)
You just got a jobby job. I think you deserve a reward... Nut up and buy yourself a video ipod. It's not like you won't use it a ton. Average that out over a year or two and it will be less than a dollar a day. Can we put a price on having a soundtrack to our daily lives? I think not.
Stop even thinking about fixing it. Bury that bad boy--or maybe cryogenically freeze him until future electronic medicine can revive his little computing heart.
Either way--go to Best Buy. Walk in there... pick up that video IPOD and just go to the cash register and buy it. Don't even think about it. Just do it.
P.S.
I think that picture is funny because I immediately thought, "Oh... that's a funny picture."
Then I thought, "Wow... she even made a tombstone."
Then I thought, "Who the crap is taking this photo?"
Then I laughed again.
All those things that Dave said in his last comment are so true. Who goes to the extent of making the tombstone, not just taking the picture, but having her husband take the pic while she poses for it (or making her husband kneel on the ground while she takes it...we still talking about pictures. wow)? You do. I don't even have to say much I appreciate this whole setup.
