Being the self-proclaimed Tech Freak that I am, I am deeply depressed. My favorite store, Circuit City, is going out of business. I was there yesterday. I was there today. It is very, very sad. :( Yesterday I bought a NexxTech iPod alarm clock radio for my daughter. It stopped functioning properly within 4 hours. HMPH! The part that misfunctions isn't imperative to the way my daughter will use it, but still. It's the point.
Today, I got there and among one of things I purchased was a *gasp* NexxTech set of headphones for my iPod. And alas, they too are already misfunctioning.
Lesson Learned: KEEP AWAY FROM NEXXTECH!
I can't even return either of them. But, whatever. They'll do for now. There's bigger fish to fry.... I.E. getting over the fact that CC will no longer be there in the near future. Booooooo!
On another note, went to see Mall Cop tonight. It was pretty funny! DH and I are big fans of Kevin James, and we weren't disappointed.
Until next time!

Zumba rocks!
Well as you may have heard, Zumba is the newest fitness craze. And the best, I might add. It is like you are at a party for an hour, and burning around 500 calories in the mean time! It is SO much fun it should be illegal. A lot of the local gyms here in Toms River offer it. Our classes are packed to the gills for every single Zumba class, and just recently there's tons more added to the schedule! WOO HOO! If you find a class near you, do yourself a favor and check one out.

January FREEZE
Ok so it's January and it's beyond freezing out there. Literally. It's 22 degrees. Summer seems a far, far way off, but it's coming nonetheless. Or at least so I was told in my gym class today! Definitely a good reminder.
So I finally got myself an iPod Touch 2nd Gen. It's pretty cool and has some great features. And, some not so great. When I used to do my cleaning, I used to stick my old 5th Gen iPod Video in my pocket and work the controls without having even to look at it. But now since the Touch goes into a power save/sleep mode, I have to take it out of the pocket, 'unlock' it, and then go about my business on it. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but a little inconvenient.
What is a big deal, however, is the fact that there is NO desktop calendar sync for Windows, outside of either expensive Outlook. And I have no need to purchase Outlook. I can't even believe there's no app available for a desktop syncable calendar. Come on now, Apple! Or anybody, for that matter!
But other than those two things, the Touch is pretty darn cool. I got 32 Gigs worth of space for games, songs, podcasts, books on CD, and anything else that comes along. The display is great, the video play is great, and it's very convenient for long trips or long waits. Not half bad, I must say.
Your opinions on the Touch?
