First World Problems

For the hell of it, I'll also make this blog a tech-gaming-anime review place. Logically, it would follow that I'd then start reviewing something, but I can't yet. I can say, though, that I hate myself because...

I finally gave in and bought this damn thing:

with this damn thing:

I had wanted a new iPod Touch for a long time. I've been using my daddy's old and free jailbroken iPhone 3G 8G from, I don't know, 2006 or 2007? (Z0MG that's ancient and small!) I've been making do with it with some tweaks, but tonight, finally, finally it just refused to even wake up iTunes, and when it did actually register with the program, it didn't want to sync anything. I could just re-jailbreak it, but I don't want to go through that mess again, and anyway, I want more space because I'm like every other spoiled American out there who needs her 32 gigs of digital nonsense.

I was debating back and forth tonight, all night, between getting a "like-new" used or an actual new one (I'd save 40 dollars for used, but it would be black and, well, used), as well as which cover to get. I love, love, love my current Stormtrooper case for my iPhone, but I couldn't find a similar geeky thing for the iPod Touch 4G (most cool cases are for iPhone, sadly). Then at 5:02 a.m., I bravely, hesitantly, cowardly pressed the "Place your order" button for the new white 32 GB iPod Touch 4G and Otterbox Commuter Series case (black/white).

Goodbye, 70% of my last paycheck. Goodbye, that wee part of my soul. But the wounds will soon heal... until the iPod Touch 4S serendipitously comes out a week later (but probably/hopefully not?).

And no, NO I will not go out shopping on Friday.

EDIT: I had to revise this blog a number of times for egregiously embarrassing errors. +5 a.m. = ... I can't even find the right words right now. I need to sleep because I have a long drive in four hours. I'm a smart girl. Night/morning.
