I never listen to it when I'm outside walking around, and I never shall. Nor am I particularly pleased that I've spent $250 (plus tax) on a material possession that probably wasn't necessary -- okay, it <i>wasn't</i> necessary. So I hope these iPod posts don't sound like boasting or anything like that. They're more of guilty rationalizings and justifications, really. :) While I have been gushing about what cool things the iPod can do, I’ll admit that they are trendy and expensive, and I don’t particularly like either of those things.

I'll keep reminding you in case you start to forget. As for the language podcasts... that makes me almost want to give in and buy an iPod. But, alas, they remain too trendy and too expensive. Enjoy, though--sounds like you have some cool stuff. No, Ben, you don’t have time. I’ll keep reminding you in case you start to forget.
