The Tragic Death...and Surprising Resurrection...of my iPod

Another request from Sherrie...and yet another example of my ever occuring blonde moments...

So, on Tuesday night I left the office to go meet my boyfriend. I pulled out my iPod and pressed the on button and nothing happened. I kept checking it, flipped the hold button, but still nothing. I thought maybe I had left it on accidentally and the battery was dead. Later that night at home, I plugged it in to charge and still nothing happened. It was slightly annoying since I can't seem to walk or travel anywhere without music these days, but I was happy because I could FINALLY get a new iPod.

I had the next day off and decided to make a trip to the Apple store with my friend Stella. I had just planned to get an iPod Classic and spend maybe 200,000 or so won. I only spent about $250 on my iPod video a couple years ago so I thought they would be cheaper now. Anywho, upon arrival I discovered that iPods had gotten quite expensive with the new generations. I was left with the choice of a 120 GB Classic (which was way more space than I would ever need and bulky) or upgrade to an iPod Touch which would have less space and be a bit more expensive.

After some deliberation, and nudging from Stella, I ended up with a 16 GB 2nd Generation iPod Touch. I about cried when I looked at the price and handed over my card, but I was absolutely giddy as I looked at my brand-new best friend. It was sooo pretty. And it looks even prettier with the skin that I got for it.

Anyway, I was showing one of my co-workers my iPod at work the next day (he's a bit of an Apple fanatic, he has a iPhone even though they don't work in Korea yet). He asked me to bring in my old iPod and he would try to make it sellable for me.

So, I did. And surprise of all surprises, he comes up to me and says "Oh, your iPod is okay." Turns out the hold button was flipped on and I didn't really turn it off when I checked it. So, I felt slightly stupid that I rushed out to spend too much money on a new iPod when I didn't need to. That being said, I am very happy with my new toy.

...and I guess I now have my little brother's birthday present...
