This machine has been playing with my heart and mind and I don’t like it one bit.
I am, afterall, a respectable owner of an iPod. Even though my iPod is a little worn and a little too plump for my liking, I am faithful to it and will never consider getting rid of it. In fact, I had dodged temptation late last year when I almost became the owner of a shiny, blue iPod mini. But I stayed steadfast and foisted it off onto a friend who was seriously in need of a cool gadget to up his hip factor.
But the traitorous Shuffle is like a siren that’s calling out my name. When it was first launched, I put up my PDA for sale in hopes of getting my hands on the Shuffle. Good sense ultimately overcame me and I decided to stop pining incessantly for the tiny white beacon.
Then along came my ang pow-ed boyfriend, who said to me happily, “Let me buy us some Shuffles for Valentine’s Day!” Regretfully (and to his immense relief), the Shuffles were sold out everywhere we went and so, the Shuffle became a coveted item to be purchased only if he wins Toto (Toto investment came to naught, we didn’t win).
But now, the idea of owning the device has stuck onto my brain, like a pesky fly that keeps zooming around your leg when you are wearing your shortest mini skirt.
Don’t tell me it has no screeen - where is your element of spontaneity and fun? We need surprises to perk up our mundane lives and if a choral rendition of Salve Regina follows U2 on the playlist, then yahoo!
Don’t tell me it’s useless and I already have an iPod. Look, if men were allowed to have 70 wives in the feudalistic and archaic past, why can’t a modern woman own two iPods? Besides, I can hang the Shuffle on my neck, I certainly can’t do that with my current iPod without cracking my collar bone. And what if I need to carry a tiny purse out?
Don’t tell me it only has 512MB/1GB. Size doesn’t matter, it’s what you can do with it that counts!
Decisions, decisions.

The wandering songstress added these pithy words on Feb 23 05 at 7:01 pmIt’s a great buy, it works like a thumbdrive, and it has just enough music for you to go around in such a small island like ours. We really don’t need 1000 songs on us all the time aint we? And it’s friggin light for one! I love mine. Go get yours!
