So tired today. Stayed up until 4:30 a.m. Took a four-hour nap in my car after work. My cell phone died and I didn’t get the message that Misty is locked out of her house because I have her key. I’m a horrible, lazy person. And I must drive back into town to wait for Misty to get home. I’m loading Pride and Prejudice back onto my iPod in its entirety. There’s no telling how long I’ll be waiting.

I am not going to sleep tonight. There is simply too much to do. I took a bunch of photos and a video of me and my iPod in action. Now I’m making a little video that will hopefully be posted later. I have been incredibly busy, for no reason. I guess I should catch you guys up on the last few days when I was lazy and didn’t blog. It’s funny, I blog so much when I have nothing to say but when interesting cool things do happen, I’m busy doing them and not writing them down.

The three reasons I haven’t been blogging, in picture form:

The iPod speaks for itself (it looks like it’s covered in cellophane becuase I made a homemade case for it out of an old CD-ROM sleeve until the case I want ships at the end of the month. It turns out that the Nano is INCREDIBLY prone to scratches, and as soon as I got a noticeable one on the LCD I McGuyvered a case for it. The chain mail took forever to make. That is HUNDREDS of links in those pieces. And I spent hours turning my old burned CDs into playlists for syncing to my iPod.

Thing to catch up on #1: we had a second going away party for Kat at Katie’s house on Friday, and it was really really fun. I felt very stiff and weird in the beginning, like I had somehow interrupted them and wasn’t welcome (not true). I kept thinking to myself how I always overanalyze social situations, but once I had a glass of wine I was fine. And by the end of the night, I had gotten to know the new coworker that is starting sometime soon. We both love reading, which is enough to give anybody in A+ in my book. We just got along really well to. I’m glad Kat isn’t getting replaced by some asshole. Not like anyone can replace her, but still. I was outbid on the computer I was wanting on eBay. And it happened when I was asleep too, which really pissed me off. I’m actually sort of glad. Now I have some money and a bit of a safety cushion. And it’s definitely a big enough monetary safety cushion to consider moving in with misty at the end of October.

Thing to catch up on number #2: Drunken Party:

I went over to Misty’s last night, and we had a bit of fun. First we watched The Wedding Date, which was actually not bad considering how much I was expecting it to totally suck. It was exactly as you would imagine it to be, if you haven’t seen it. It was totally cliché, but with just enough spice to entertain. I mean, it’s not like there’s going to be any sort of plot twist in any movie where Deborah Messing is playing a lead role. So we drank a bit and started playing Never Have I Ever, then Misty started talking about what she wanted in life, and I really didn’t know what to say to her. I don’t know what I want to do with my life either. And I guess it’s cool that we can both admit that. We have both unfortunately teamed up to hate Selena. It really makes me sad because I think that the Selena that I used to know was an amazing person, but when a really cool person starts totally ignoring you and rushing upstairs to fuck their boyfriend for the millionth time instead even saying hello to you then they quickly move to my shit list. Also, it didn’t help her shitlist rank at all when I was over there she was busily getting penetrated and I wanted to ask her if I could plug my iPod and one of the USB ports on the computer in her room to charge my iPod since it had died. It’s the little things that will turn me against people. I’m sure I would totally love her if she started talking to me again, but I don’t think that is going to happen. If you’re reading this Selena, I really don’t hate you. Call me or something sometime! Eh, the damage is probably done. Oh well.

That’s strange, I thought I had so much more to say. I’ve forgotten it all by now. Went too long between posts. Eh, it happens. At least I got the major bases covered.

Must show you guys pics I took of my iPod tonight. I tried to include some items to give you an idea of just how impossibly small it is.

Enjoying the sexiness of the pod.

Now I feel like my cell phone is gigantic.

Look how freaking small that is!

I’m working on this little iPod movie thingy and it just came out! Props to Intel for my 3.0GHz number-crunching sex machine, and Adobe Premiere and Flash for making bit of self-indulgence possible:

Turn up your speakers and check my self-indulgent, amusing ipod commercial out, cuz it’s going to be gone tomorrow. (fyi–the video won’t work on dial-up connections)

The rockout track is “Little L” by Jamiroquai.
