So, the new iPod touch has Nike + built in! And actually you can get that in a software update for your old iPod touch, too, but (Edit: Gizmodo has confirmed that Nike + only works with the new iPod touch, not the old one or the iPhone) the new one is obviously cooler and they’ve dropped the price by $100. The 32gb model is still $399, but i’m thinking as soon as they start having to refurbish them in a few months i’m gonna GET ONE!
Christmas would be just about perfect…
I finally got coasters to protect my glossy furniture!
Those are all computer-related icons. I looove these! I found them on Etsy, totally worth the money. I feel like a true web geek now. 
I’ve been waiting for just the right opportunity to tell all my readers about MY favorite blog, dooce.com. I think today is the perfect opportunity. She’s gone on a rant about all this political mumbo-jumbo we’ve been subjected to recently, and it nearly brought tears of pride to my eyes. Thank god there are still people in this country who see this whole thing the way i do.
I’d go on my own rant, but i think the bottom line is that i want you, the people i love, to know that i expect you to vote and to choose your vote based on something greater than your own tax burden. Please.
I just ran across this photo on a google image search and i’m posting it here because i think it’s interesting.
I am just not ready for this Fall thing yet. 
Yesterday i tried to convince myself that it still felt like Summer, but today i really can’t pretend.
Mom and i went to an I-Cubs game over the long weekend.
It’s not that i don’t like Fall, don’t get me wrong. I absolutely love Fall. I think it’s the most romantic season, which actually might drive me crazy this year since i have nobody to squeeze. What i’m really not happy about is the fact that Fall never lasts more than a few weeks here, it just goes straight into winter and i HATE winter. I mean, i can tolerate it for a long time, but when it’s been snowing for three months already and there’s no end in sight, i get pretty angry.
I’m gonna get me a garage this year, though, so that should help my nerves quite a lot.
In the news: John McCain was an exotic dancer back in the day. His new running mate, Sarah Palin, is a horrible, horrible person. Google’s new browser Chrome is only for Windows. I want an Intel Mac, so i don’t have to be jealous about that sort of thing anymore. I also want a new iPod, but rather than one with a larger capacity than my 4th generation iPod Classic 20gb, i’m thinking of getting a Nano because… drum roll… I’ve taken up running. I’m actually improving a lot and it’s only been three weeks, so now i’m thinking about getting the Nike + iPod system because everyone says it’s so cool. And it only works with Nanos. Sigh. Apple is about to release a new nano, though, so hopefully the prices on the old ones will drop.
