  Update on the iPod crisis:
I spent 2.5 hours with an Apple rep who attempted to resuscitate it, with no luck. Fortunately it is still under warranty and supposedly if I send it in they will give me another one at only the cost of shipping. We’ll see what happens. I’ll keep you all informed as things develop…

Eulogy:

U2 iPod.. you served me well these past 3 1/2 months. I will miss the way you would light up my pillow at night as I carefully chose what to go to sleep with each night. You were faithful to me – I never worried about you leaving me.. and yet you did. *choking back sob* You ..you’ve gone.. to a better place no doubt..  *sigh*…

I wish I’d known you couldn’t take the cold weather and I wouldn’t have taken you skiing yesterday.. but alas.. you died on a good note.. to the White Stripes while flying down Mt. Hood..

My heart aches with your loss.. and my loss.. financially I mean.. because I don’t know how long I can go without replacing you. I will move on – to a fifth generation iPod next time.. color video and all..

*sniff, sniff*… goodbye my darling…

    Yes, the alternate-xanga-name comment-leaving is way too much for this brain of mine.  Not that I don’t appreciate the eProps from both of you! :-)

    And, now that I know it was you who commented…don’t be confused, dreams don’t make sense! :-)

    How are you these days?? Your happy thanksgiving comment made me smile :-)

    Nick’s suggestion that you seek punitive damages is a must (and hilarious!).  It reminds me of when I was 13 when I was sued because I was in a car that was at fault in a car accident.  The itemized suit listed “Unable to perform wifely duties  — $15,000″  I wondered at 13 what that meant…haha!  Fortunately the suit was dropped as frivilous when the judge saw that their suit included a 13 year old. 

    Hey sorry I missed you last night on IM!  I was fast asleep.   Well have to chat at some other point.

    a tragedy indeed. mourning your loss with you. *grabs a kleenex and blows nose obnoxiously loud* the ultimate question: how long can you possibly live without iPod in your life?

    Truly a tragedy. My heart goes out to you.

    ryc: I’ve played Ave Maria many, many times- just… not on the violin- yet :) -mainly either the Liszt transcription for solo piano or accompanying a violinist or vocalist. Beautiful, beautiful compostition. Schubert’s and Gounod’s arrangements are my favorites.

    Does your boyfriend know you’re devoting that much energy to an iPod?  I mean, I’m just asking…

    And, I had no idea there was a special U2 iPod.  Who knew.
