Don’t bother talking to untitledhusband these days. He is preoccupado with his new cock, a video iPod. In making his case for the purchase, untitledhusband was quick to point out the device’s utilitarian qualities. untitledson can watch Dora on it. I can use it to view movies on it when traveling for business.
Of course, I know that the likelihood of these things ever happening is slim. He has enough trouble putting it down so he can take a whiz. The one good thing is that Precious (our PowerBook) is now freed up. A man’s only got so many hands, people.
Now let me be clear – no love is lost on Precious. At least not by me. Ever since Precious joined our family, things have not been the same. Precious watches TV with us. Precious relaxes in the back yard with us. And oh look – who’s that at the dinner table? It’s Precious, enjoying a heapin’ helpin’ of tatertot casserole and pilfering the last piece of Texas toast. Precious has even made some special appearances in our bed. All things being said, I am ready drop-kick Precious off the top of our garage.
But oh, how the worm turns. Overshadowed by the new iPod, Precious now sits alone, only feeling the warmth of untitledhusband’s hands when he needs to check e-mail. Fickle is the gadget-obsessed heart.
Yowch! In my gizmo world I actually have two iPods (a 20gb 3rd gen and a 1gb shuffle) in addition to my PowerBook. Is this somehow contagious? I feel normal… I wonder? At least everone else at home has their own iPods, does that let me off the hook?
Odd…for a minute there I thought I had posted in my sleep on someone’s else’s blog. Yikes!
Wait just a minute–no $ for furniture and dollars for video iPod? I smell a rat!
Of course, poor pitiful me. I got new furniture last year and don’t have any iPods at all. Maybe Mike will share. : )
V-Grrrl
i knew that was coming!
i need to get the missus to explain how that all ended up.
Ahhh. I know the life all too well of being married to an Apple junkie. The bastard has sucked me in too.
untitledhusband, I think we should start a support group. Really, there’s nothing wrong with us right? Apple is good stuff to be addicted too, beats huffing a crack pipe or even worse playing golf!
nooo…there’s nothing wrong with us. we’re not addicted.
btw, have you seen a video ipod yet? the picture is SO CLEAR. the sound is excellent. i got a black one (way cool). can’t believe how thin it is. oh, and the video podcasting….it’s gonna be HUGE. the one downside is no more firewire. but i’m thinking it’s a tradeoff for the …

nope, not addicted. not me.
