Friday Shuffle - The Welcome Home Beatrice Edition
This is Beatrice. She and her fat-ass 60GB hard drive have come to live with me, and I can't stop licking her.
Turns out, my early mid-life crisis can be cured with material goods. All it took was a black 60-gig iPod and a shirt that's far too sexy for the likes of me that I purchased anyway.
Beatrice would like to shuffle for you, but she's busy getting hammered, what with the synching and all. She'll be all ready to shuffle next week, unless I've worn her out by then. Or accidentally flung her across my truck, like I did about ten seconds after I took that photo.
In the meantime, my computer, Ye Olde Pantyblaster 3000, will shuffle off into the sunset.
1. God - Tori Amos
2. Satellite - The Replacements
3. Silence - Delirium & Sarah McLachlan
4. I'm Only Sleeping - The Beatles
5. America - West Side Story Original Cast Recording
6. Longview - Green Day
7. The Nurse - White Stripes
8. Radio Friendly Unit Shifter - Nirvana
9. Kern River - Merle Haggard
10. The End of Medicine - The New Pornographers
I don't really understand the need to name electronics, and I generally don't participate in such, but then again I just wrote an entire blog entry referring to my iPod as a human being. At the Apple store, I referred to it as my second-born. Obviously, I have gone stupid, and I'm okay with that, as I now won't be able to hear it when people call me stupid.
We've already fallen into a new pattern in our household, thanks to Beatrice. Now, all requests that I'm not fond of are answered as such:
B: Will you watch (insert name of movie I'm not interested in here) with me?
Me: Sure. You don't mind if I wear my earbuds while we watch, do you?
B: Will you (insert name of household task I don't wish to perform here)?
Me: Sure. You don't mind if I wear my earbuds while I scrub, do you?
B: Will you (insert name of sexual act I don't really want to do)?
Me: Sure. You don't mind if I wear my earbuds while I ....
You get the picture.

Matt's old ipod recently died, so we also have a new "baby". He bought a little outfit for it which has horns and a devil tail. He doesn't even buy toys for the dog!

A shirt too sexy for you? I'll hear nunna *that*, woman.
Look at those nails!
Look at that shuffle!
You are too sexy for your shirt. Too sexy! Admit it! (Though, it must be noted, I hope you're not so sexy it hurts. Because, you know, if it hurts, you're doing something wrong.)
Have fun rockin' Beatrice while rockin' your new top.

Beatrice is lovely. Congrats! I never knew a mid-life crisis could be cured by material goods either until I got Cat, the 30GB iPod.

Wow -- great find in Ms. Beatrice! Woooohooo!
And, by the way, that shirt is AWESOME! And I bet you look fabulous in it!!! You go! You did not, however, tell us what color you purchased!
