The Fall of Tivo and a whole lotta love
It must be Fall. You can tell by the sudden influx of programmed recordings queued up in Tivo. Biggest Loser, Desperate Housewives, The Apprentice and Prison Break...all lined up in neat, soul-sucking order as far as the calendar can see.
I got a new iPod, I got a new iPod! As if the digital music Gods were watching over me, just as I maxed out my 15GB version about a month ago (something I never fathomed I could do when I first got it last year), I fulfilled the requirements of a promotion and received a new, bigger iPod. I was expecting a 20GB model (as advertised), but, much to my glorious surprise, I was sent a 60GB color version...the king of the friggin' iPod hill.
I'm busy "cloning" my old iPod tracks over to the new one now...a painstakingly slow process...and I'll still have 45GB of space. You gotta be kidding me! What's better, Lori now gets to experience iPod life with my 15-gigger. She had been wanting a modest Shuffle for Christmas, but that holds a measly 200 or so songs. Let's see how 4,000 songs fits her, eh? There is a somewhat bitter aftertaste about the fact that it's another hand-me-down, just like the Pathfinder was. But I feel it's my responsibility to try these things first...clear the way for her, you know? Like the mama bird that eats the worms and then lovingly regurgitates them to her young in small, palatable, frothy form.
It's all about the love.
