Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Am I the only person on earth who finds her iPod insufferable?

Its a shuffle. I'm trying to put the play list on the device in a particular order. Every time I move a song the fucking thing syncs again.

I love my iPod, but there are a few things that drive me crazy. I have a hard time being precise with the touch wheel. And I would kill for a normal volume button so I didn't have to wait for it to "go back" to the song to access the volume.

I was getting ready for bed when I suddenly realized that all the alarms I was hearing were, you know, right here.

Lots of flashing lights, that sort of thing.

I look out my window and there are like 3 cop cars blocking the street. Couldn't figure out what was what - then I noticed scads of smoke coming from a house across and down the street from me.

Lots of firetrucks parked up the street. (One of them a hook and ladder that is now right in front of my building.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yes. Steve Jobs' whole "one button" thing is ludicrous.

Its so nice that it wants to do things automatically for me. Really. But it needs to hush up and let me do what I want.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think the iPod succeeded despite that sort of thing--I think the simplicity was part of the win.

I admit that normal use of my iPod is okay, but there are definitely some problems with the audiobooks. Every once in a while it just loses its place and goes back to the beginning of the enormous file. Argh.

yes, it's all very cute and sexy, until you use it, and by the time you realize how annoying it is you're locked into iTunes.
