I left the house today in the blazing heat, with every intention of going to the Y and jumping in the pool. And then I thought,

thassalia told me about that waterproof iPod shuffle, I should get one of THOSE and go swim.

So I went to Best Buy and bought a $49 shuffle, and took it to the Apple store at the Grove to get it outfitted. But in doing so learned that the WATERPROOFING costs $90, so altogether this endeavor was more expensive than I'd planned to go. But, Jason Bateman was standing behind me as I grilled the iPod guy about potentially outfitting my ZUNE for waterproofing and therefore saving me the trouble of moving all my music into iTunes. The Apple guy was expectedly miffed when I told him that I liked the Zune better than the iPod (three words: Drag. And. Drop.) but also empathized with the absurd cost of the waterproofing kit, and I left. I didn't say hi to Jason Bateman, but it's a good thing too, because odds are what would have come out of my mouth would have sounded a lot like, "so, you're a celebrity. Help me figure out how to bag David Tennant?"

And that's just not cool, in the Apple store!

So instead, deciding to return the iPod shuffle and save myself a hundred and fifty dollar swimming headset, and also the trouble of having to move everything into iTunes.

I took my shoes off layway, and as I was headed home thought, you know what I need to do today instead of spending money on iEquipment I will hate to use?

I had a crappy sort of bamboo band up around that arm, and went in to my guy and said "fix it!" and he brainstormed the city skyline (Brooklyn, in my head). It's got little houses and apartments with chimneys and vents and telephone poles! Above there are four blue-backgrounded floating stars, which I made him add. Better pictures to come when better pictures exist.
