More gripes

So not only have I lost my camera, but it looks like I might have to replace my Nano, or at least my Nano's battery. It won't hold a charge anymore. I went to the gym and in one hour completely drained the battery. Just. Not. Right.

But here's the dilemma: do I bother replacing my Nano's battery (and technically my Nano because they actually give you an entirely new or refurbed unit) or do I just get a new Nano? After all, I own a first gen Nano with a couple of years under its belt.

Now I know what you're saying: didn't you just get a new iPod? The answer is, yes. But I bought the Touch, which is not for gym use. Seriously. It's more of my traveling, take-with-me everywhere-*but*-the-gym player. I happen to be one of those freaks who has a separate device for working out. So sue me.

We'll see. I'm going to hit the Apple store on Monday with Nano in hand and make some sort of decision then. In the meantime, if I could only find my camera...

Apple, I love you

Yes, the guy looked at me funny when I showed him the tiny speck of light on my Touch's screen, but he gave me a new one anyway.

Although (and this is *such a nit-pick too), when I asked if I could upgrade to the 16GB (which would cost me $100 more), he said no, he'd have to give me the exact model I had before. Um, don't want my money? Ok.

Nit-pick

So I have an iPod Touch; I think we've established that, yes? Well, the other night I found something on it that really, really bothers me. And it's truly almost imperceptible to the naked eye...except mine. It's a pixelation...or some kind of light dot on the screen that doesn't appear to be a fleck of dust. And although it's almost impossible to see, I know *exactly* where it is and it bothers the shit out of me.

So what do I do? Return the player because it has a spec of light on it? Will they laugh at me when they have to wuse a magnifying glass to see it?

It doesn't really ma tter because you know I plan to hit the Apple Store this week. I mean, really, could you live with a light dot on your $300 iPod? Because I cannot.

What to do?

I'm headed out of town and need to load up my iTouch. Since a good friend of mine was kind enough to give me a GC, I've been browsing iTunes for the last few minutes, desperate to find a movie that will keep me entertained on the plane and is worth purchasing. Nothing fits the criteria.

But something did catch my eye: the first season of Eureka. So I throw it out there to you. Do I settle for a mediocre movie that I probably won't enjoy? Or do I add (yet another) show to my "must watch" list.

Anyone out there currently watch Eureka, and if so, is it worth spending $24 for season 1?

I promise, not another pregnancy post

Actually, I've been talking to my cousin, Mel about what I'll do apres-pregnancy and I've got some great ideas, starting with a kick-butt workout program. See, I need goals. I need structure. I need something to strive for and I think a race--a long race--is perfect. Not a marathon necessarily, but perhaps a half? Perhaps this half, here.

And to provide motivation for the grueling training this race will require, I think I need to buy this and a pair of Nike+ shoes. But let's be clear: the shoes are just for competitive research purposes. I mean, I'm a diehard New Balance fan and wouldn't buy Nike unless it could benefit NB in some way, shape or form.

I mean it.
