...of an iPod!

In fact we have become a 4-iPod household, which may be a bit excessive! They're all slightly different so we shouldn't get confused, but I will definitely invest in a "1 size fits all" docking thingy for the computer.

Dai'd had one for ages, and had completely exhausted its capacity, and so treated himself to a gorgeous black video one at the weekend . And then gave me his old one (bless him!). We debated the pros and cons of leaving on 4,500 examples of his taste in music, and letting me delete all the various mixes of house and techno that I didn't want - but decided it was easier to start from scratch

So I've had the joys of snuggling in bed watching Scrubs, courtesy of the earplug splitter, and have just been out for a lovely lunchtime walk with Powderfinger blasting down me lug 'ole.

Now if I can just work out how to turn it off so I can get on with some work...

ohhhhhh I'm very jealous.

We decided to go the Creative Labs route - Gruesome #1 got a mini thingy for her birthday, which takes about 100 songs - not all of which are boy bands - and we got a 20GB jobbie for christmas.

I'm having a lot of fun deciding what he can have on it, since he's no idea how to upload music.

and didn't you know... there is no off switch!

Ipods?

Nah, what you want is a PSP and a portable hard drive. I have a huge lovely colour screen, have a choice of about 40 cracked games, about 20gb of video and about 60gb of music to shuffle around...

And its shiny and white and looks so gorgeous I want to shex it.
