All right. Now look here. When the first iPod came out, I tried selling my retinas on eBay to get the money to buy one (no takers, have you actually ever seen a disembodied retina?). Then along came the iPod Shuffle, the Mini and then the Nano, each causing me increasing physical pain that I did not own one. Since I have no rich relatives hovering on the brink of death who might be thinking of bequeathing me $299 + tax, I decided to look at reasonable alternatives.
That’s when I fell in love with Creative’s Zen Micro. I won’t even link to it because it is such an incredible electronic device that everyone of you will rush right out to buy one, leaving none for me. Thank god I’m having no more children or the poor kid’s name would be Zen (because Micro would be, you know, stupid). I dream of the Zen Micro. I call it’s name in my sleep. I doodle in the margins of my notepaper:

I’ve found peace in my life since dropping my years-long obsession with having an iPod. I’ve enjoyed having a new object d’amour to pine for. I don’t feel the slightest bit fickle in dropping the Shuffle for the new hot, sexy toy in town.
And then karma (or, more specifically those bastards at Apple) bit me in the butt.
I. Want. One.
NOW.
Thank god you did this entry…I thought I was the only person coveting iPods and the like. =)
Omigod! You can watch TV shows on the new iPod?!? I got a plain old black & white screen 20GB one for my birthday last year and thought nothing could ever take it’s place in my heart….
Cheryl – Just keep your hands off my Zen. If I find out they’re sold out I’m coming after you…;-)
Colleen – Thanks…rub it in, why don’t ya? lol
