I love my iPod. It's an ancient one -- someone recently called it the "archaic" version. It's a hand-me-down from my husband, who now has one that's more from the mesozoic than the paleozoic era of mp3-type players.

I covet my friend Jenni's Nano, which is tiny and beautiful and has a great gadget for plugging into the formerly - known - as - a - cigarette - lighter space and listening to it through the car radio. Even a Shuffle, with its mere 1 gig capacity, would be ideal for walking the dog or jamming at the gym.

But for now, I'm using my clunker. It works fine, just looks like I'm toting around a small computer. I can't imagine going back to the days of the Walkman. That thing was bigger than a shoe box.

And here's a sampling of what I listened to today on a walk with my Westie.

I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred
Father Figure - George Michael
Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
Obsession - Animotion
Only In My Dreams - Debbie Gibson
Mambo No. 5 - Lou Bega


My husband's response to the discovery of my musical choices, obtained through iTunes:
You bought that? You really purchased that?

You bet. Off to enjoy a little Duran Duran and the GoGo's.

Tell your husband to hush, you have brilliant taste in music! George Michael will always be cool.

The only one of those NOT on my iPod is Mambo--- and that song NEEDS to be on mine, too!!!

My iPod nearly got to mow the lawn today with my husband, but I can't find my little neoprene cover... so the shiney doesn't scratch, don't you know!

You know what ticks me off? My *mom* gets all the toys first and I have to covet and whine until I get them.

Sigh... I hate being a grown up.

GREAT music choices. Kudos. I really mean that. I have "I'm Too Sexy" on probably four or five of my CDs. I'm really looking forward to the new Dresden Dolls' CD. You want to check them out? Go to www.myspace.com/dresdendolls. Yesterday they had their entire CD posted. You couldn't jump through the songs, you had to listen to every one all the way through but that's okay because it's a great album.

Did you know I had a crush on George Michael when I was little? Like, 3? I'd take my mom's Wham! VHS of music videos and watch it ad nauseum. haha

Brett has an iPod Mini. They don't make those anymore. I think I'm going to ask for an iPod (regular size) for my birthday. It's a lot of space but I have a lot of music. And you can put videos on there. It looks like a miniature TV. It's great. :)

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Ho, Ho, Ho, How Many Times Can I Use "I'm too busy" as an Excuse?

I haven't had time to write. Work, swim meet volunteering, holiday decorating and shopping. But truthfully, I've not been in much of a mood to write anything anyway. Last night we put up the tree and Santa chachkies, and I drank my first egg nog of the season, so perhaps I'll be in a cheerier mood. Also, I have spent some time writing the annual Schoon holiday newsletter. If you happen to get a copy, treat it like a drinking game. Every time I make you roll your eyes, take a drink. Nog, wassail, Everclear. Whatever gets you through. One sure way to assist with merriment motivation is listening to Christmas carols. I'm not going to get into a debate over what truly constitutes a carol. You can "Jesus is the reason for the season" yourself until you turn blue; I generally lean toward the secular end of the holiday tune spectrum. And if you just gasped at my use of holiday instead of Christmas, go suck on a candy cane. It's my blog and my opinions. Deal.
