Nano nation
I did something less than economically frugal last week when I purchased a shiny new 1G black iPod Nano. I didn’t truly need it, but i needed it. I have a 3rd generation iPod, the one with the 4 little buttons and a black and white screen, but its been having battery problems lately. About a year ago, I was having major battery problems and took it into the Apple store for service and they just handed me a new one and sent me on my way. Apparently, the same battery issues are plaguing the replacement iPod and it isn’t holding a charge like it once did.
So, i talked myself into getting a new Nano. I waited until the prices dropped by getting the 1G, but after formatting it last night until 2:00am, i realized I should have probably paid the extra $50 for the 2G because my individually chosen song list of favorite, upbeat, empowering songs would not fit in its entirety onto this smaller Nano. I had to cut such uplifting and perky songs as Purple Rain, Hell Wit ya’, Chains of Love, I woke up in Love this Morning, and others including songs by such famous crooners as Anything Box, Sinead O’Connor and Romeovoid.
Alas, to fit even a few of my favorite photos of friends, loved ones and large penises, I had to remove even more of my personalized song list. Goodbye Lisa Stansfield, The Cure, Franz Ferdinand, and Beth Hart, you’ll be missed in the compacted version of my music library.
But its cute and it still has 15 hours worth of music stuffed into its lithe little frame. More than enough for a flight to San Francisco and back.
Oh yeah, I’m going to California tomorrow night. I’m trying out a new pet-sitter. I sure hope Stella doesn’t take to him more than me.
This iPod Nano is so shiny…
