iPod Update:

Reports of the iPod's demise has been greatly exaggerated.

Of course, I was the only one exaggerating. But still! On the off chance that you read my last entry... and on the off chance that after reading said entry, you felt extreme remorse over the iPod's impending demise, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC NEWS FOR YOU.

As it turns out, it only runs out of battery if I play around with it a lot. As in, instead of listening to Radiohead's Amnesiac, I listen to "Like Spinning Plates," then jump to "2+2=5" on Hail To The Thief, then jump to whatever other Radiohead song I feel like playing.

Which is sort of a bummer, since sometimes I like just browsing through songs and listening to stuff that comforts me, but right now I'm listening to all of Tindersticks' albums, and it's a treat (for the record, Tindersticks = a top five favorite band, and their self titled debut = a top five favorite album).

So yeah. Not a huge crisis or anything like that. However, wanna know what is a huge crisis? The place I'm living at has heating that is apparently crazy expensive, and the people who lived there last December had a heating bill of $180. AAACK!
