Growing all kinds of crazy.

One day last week, the jack on my iPod stopped working. I Googled and followed a list of “this will fix it” type suggestions. None of them worked.

As pathetic as it sounds, I can’t run without my music. So it was off to the new Apple store to get a Nano. Big mistake.

The Apple store is just so… shiny. And full of all kinds of iPods and Nanos and Shuffles and Touches. I was immediately sucked into the hype despite the fact that I swore I wouldn’t. Those customers that I mocked just weeks before for staring at comparison charts and waiting to be helped by a “Genius”? Yeah, that was me.

Chris and I compared a bunch of different options and I eventually just replaced my Touch with a slightly nicer model. It was more than I had intended to spend but I decided that it made sense. I’ve had the other one for years and I use it a lot – not for games or SM or even the web. I use the music, the notes and the stopwatch. And I use it every day (not kidding).

So, new iPod Touch in hand, we left the store.

I was surprised that Chris didn’t try harder to talk me into just getting a Shuffle. But then he spilled the beans: it was his second Apple Store trip of the day. He had gone to one earlier and bought an iPad.

I know. We’re such a stereotype. It’s a little bit sad.

(But I still love my new iPod Touch)
