iheart


You might as well. We all know this will be the most enduring relationship, right up until the battery flubs kaput and - on principle - you refuse to pay the additional $85 for a new one.

In this way, however, your iPod is your own Silverstein-ian Giving Tree, sacrificing itself to demonstrate that effort (or batteries) is necessary for Love/iPods to continue. You, oh you fool, do not see this. Never will.

  1. When I lost my Shuffle, I felt pretty sad. But then, a couple hours later, I got Mark Shuffalo and felt happy again. Better, even.

    If only I could enjoy this resilience in my dealings with people.

  2. I think you can. Your brainpowers are great.

    And SEE? Your guru-zmo is doing its job well. It is a Great Teacher.

    At least now we know WHY it had to depart - tough Shuffle love.

  3. Here's a Valentine's quote for you, courtesy of Wild Words from Wild Women:

    "The word 'love' has by no means the same sense for both sexes, and this is one cause of the serious misunderstandings that divide them."

    --Simone de Beauvoir
