So, if some of you noticed that I wasn't quite as excited about Rook as I might have been, he came on the heels of a rather sad loss. My faithful iPod of four years (she turned four in March) finally gave up the ghost on Sunday. I waffled, I briefly resurrected her, but the sad little whirr-click of harddrive death won out. I don't think I realized how attached I was to her until today, when I took her in to the Apple store with me to help me shop for a new iPod and I couldn't give her up to them for recycling.
But! Tonight is a night for celebration, not mourning. Rook has a new E-string, and I promised him that I wouldn't break this one. And I'm welcoming a new iPod touch into my little electronic family. It's going to take some shuffling about to get it to hold what I want it to hold, but I now have a toy that I can bum off of unsecured wireless with. And I'll openly admit this is 95% of what made me get it over the cheaper old-school iPod (the other 5% is that I think the menu set-up on the video iPods is ugly).
This also means I can watch shows on my morning commute. So, I will be catching up with Lost, and whatever else I can get my hands on. And ah, does anyone know of any fansubbers that encode things iPod-friendly? Or am I going to have to convert everything (so I can sit on the bus reading too-small subtitles while trying to pretend whatever I'm watching is perfectly normal)?
