I am excited. Very excited.

To know me is to know that I am a canned media junkie. I tend to hate top 40 broadcasts and 95% of network TV (the otherwise POPULAR media) but I usually have something spinning in my ear or on a TV in the semi-background. Driving, mowing, even waiting for Jake’s bus I usually have an audiobook playing in my  . Hanging out playing my guitar I often have a DVD on the TV. I love the eye and/or ear candy. I crave it, really. It tends to tune out the voices in my head.

So, I used my pending flight to Virginia as an excuse to fork over the cash for an Ipod Nano. I’ve had several mp3 players in the past 8 or so years, but this is my first teeny tiny video player. It’s so cute, and it was very well-priced at Sam’s Club. It’s no giant screen plasma television for the perfect media room or home theater. Hell, it’s not even a screen for the modern bedroom. But for the standard domestic coach flight with a connection in Philly, this will be just right.
