Pod People.
I have iPod envy. I have the original 5 Gig version I bought two years ago and have seriously considered having the plugs surgically attached considering how often I find them in my ears. I have 995 songs locked and loaded and playlists for everything. The best $300 bucks I have ever spent. I mean who can put a price on being able to pull up the perfect Def Leppard tune for any occasion?
Since I love mine so much and love my brother and my sisters almost as much, I decided to be a little flamboyant this Christmas and purchased a shiny new 10 gig version for each of my siblings. And they are just so sexy! The iPods. Not my siblings. But come to think of it, they are pretty sexy too. And skinny! And with pretty lights! Again, the iPods, not my siblings. Well, they are kinda skinny, but not so much the lights.
I want a new iPod desperately, but I’m not sure shaving an eighth of an inch from the already tiny box in my back pocket is worth the extra three bills.
I should just wait until mine is full. It's one more excuse to download that Laura Brannigan Greatest Hits CD.

Three thoughts:
1. Wait two weeks until after macworld expo when new products are usually announced.
2. Get yourself a pair of future sonics in-ear monitors if you don't have 'em. Yes theri expensive, but they really are that good. Especially if you're trying to use the iPod in noisy enviroments like a gym. http://www.futuresonics.com
3. Don't blame yourself for wanting an iPod so badly. Its effects on mere mortals was predicted by a great poet in the early 80's:
"Wearing white as you're walkin'
Down the street of my soul
You take my self,
you take my self control"

yeah, i hear they are coming out with mini-ipods at macworld!
Laura Branigan!? That sounds dangerously close to Judy Garland/Barbara Streisand territory!!

You bought your iPod two years ago? Whew! Then I guess http://www.ipodsdirtysecret.com/ isn't true after all.

*raises hand* - I want to be the first bidder for the old one, when you upgrade.
