frankly i don't know how i lived without it. it is my heroin. i take is everywhere. not a day does by that i don't light up its little screen.
it has become my constant companion, the soundtrack to my life - accompanying if not occasionally dictating my mood. possesing the unique ability to motivate me to do another 5 minutes on the treadmill at the gym, its custom 'sleep' playlist helping me relax at night. it's bright little headphones also stop the overly perky, faux happy salesgirls in clothing stores from asking about my day or convincing me that in fact skinny jeans would work great with my figure.
anyway, after months of battery problems my 6GB iPod mini decided to die. i pressed all the little buttons with no avail, the screen remained dull and lifeless. i immediatly rushed down to the store i bought it from. i can't live without it! i handed the girl the warrenty and prayed that it would be like all other electrical or technological things that go wrong - as soon as you show the elecriction the faulty switch it works perfectly. unfortunatly this was not the case. she told me it would i take ten to fourteen working days to get it fixed. with visions of silent drives home and hours at the gym listening to the 80's crap flashing in my head i replyed "where are you sending it to? kuwaite?! can't you speed it up a bit?!" the girl seemed sympathetic yet declared there was nothing she could do. no doubt many other ipods had died and are also being sent to be fixed or declared unfit for service. i can only hope that my little silver ipod makes it to the top of the pile quickly.
im lost without it. damn apple. you would think that when you pay $430 NZ for something that it would last a little longer!!
