Screaming Bean |

After posting yesterday about two iPods, I felt mildly disconcerted about how self-absorbed it sounded. How bourgeois am I to need two iPods? I then thought perhaps I needed to explain myself. When I got the first iPod back in December, it became a permanent fixture in my household. The spouse ripped every CD we had in order to make a full collection of music. Ever since we've been fighting over the sucker. The spouse studies and wants to use it. I take it to school because I want to use it. We listen to music in the house by hooking it up to the stereo and blasting all sorts of strange music into the neighborhood. We are quickly coming to a big problem. Facing this summer I'm studying for the Bar. My iPod is going to be almost permanently affixed to my head. Hell, I'm even ripping the PMBR CDs to the sucker. This is one iPod too few for my household. Therefore a solution was needed. And since we're both students, one of whom does not have a job, dropping the cash on another at this stage is not an option. Therefore Beanie had to be a diligent researcher and get all the Westlaw Trivia questions correct in order to get the big points to get another. I thought I was going to run out of time. If I had wanted another 20G one I would have. But this will work out nicely. Music soothes the savage beast and all that.
