Our ipod (Poddles) was only about 3 years old when she died, tragically, last weekend. But in "ipod years" that is ancient, since they now come with color screens and play videos and all sorts of fancy shit. Still, our monochrome 20GB Poddles served us well until the day she died.
It was an accidental death, of course. At least that's what I'm told. I'm told this by the man who was hoping she would die (so he could get a fancy new one). The story I was given was that he accidentally left her sitting on the mailbox after doing yard work all day. And then he accidentally turned on the sprinklers. And then he accidentally forgot about poor Poddles for 10 solid minutes, by which time she was soaked.
Ipods and water don't mix.
Having owned Poddles for a few years, we've become dependent on her. So of course we needed to run right out and get a replacement. Poor Tai was lost without her. Bedtime just isn't the same without Transitions.
So yesterday, after 5 long days of mourning, Minh came home with our new little bundle of joy, Tai-Pod. He's slimmer than Poddles was and he has a color screen that can play videos. He holds 30GB. And he's black. We love him already.

We have that model in white. Well, Sally has it. I don't feel old enough or responsible enough for an Ipod. I would do something like...leave it on the mailbox while I did yardwork and then it would rain and get ruined. Oh! right that's how you lost Poddles!
