Christmas in February

iPod
I’ve been obsessing about this for about 2 months so far and finally my wish was granted. I received a nice shiny iPod 80GB in black in exchange of my Magellan Roadmate 2000. It was a great gps. I got me out of some weird neighborhoods and showed me how to get home from work through paths I’ve never been through. I felt confident when I had it and was never afraid of ever getting lost. The reason why I opted to go with an iPod was because the Magellan’s cradle that held it on my mount kept on breaking. So after the 2nd time happening, we decided to return it to get something else. Originally I was okay with just swapping it out for a 3rd one but these things sell out! So with a little bit more money, I am a proud owner of the an iPod. Thanks to my hon who bought this for me. A great Chistmas/Valentines day gift.

I used to hate iTunes. But now that I have an iPod, I don’t think I can live with out it. It is so great to organize all my music and build playlists so easily. The ability to filter certain songs from a shuffle is ingenious. The more I learn about iTunes and its simple ways but yet powerful organization features, the more I enjoy using it. Unfortunately while updating my library it’s been very slow due to my slow 802.11b wireless connection. It took me over 12 hours for the first sync of half of my entire library. I eventually took my system off the wireless and plugged it directly to my wired network. It finished the remaining half in less than an hour.

I’ll also be picking up an Xbox 360 this weekend. The extended warranty on my PS2 runs out on the 21st so I have to take advantage of that purchase. This will be great on my 3 day weekend!

Merry Christmas!

Kicked off Christmas at midnight with a gift exchange with my sister, her bf, and San. I scored a nice beige jacket from my sis and her bf. I also got another Spurs cap and an incredible earphone from my baby. I never knew my mp3 player and laptop can play such rich sounding music! The Shure E3 is an incredible piece of equipment. You can hear a whole range of sound and it isolates it so that you block off outside noise. The review I read online explains this further. The yellow foam buds (PA750) gives the music more bass while the other buds were a bit lacking in the sound. I may have to order more once my pair gets worn down. I love my gift! San loved her new black Motorola Razr and a picture frame with the album photo from the motorcycle show from this post.

This moving thing is such a drag. I can’t really settle down and relax. I still have to clean and pack-up after all the excitement. I guess it was my fault for choosing to move during the holidays! Anyways, hope you all have a great Christmas. Spend time with the people you love and relax. At least do it for me. :-)
