Okay, I love my alarm clock. It docks with my iPod video and charges it while playing my sleep mix all night and it has this special LED light to project the time onto the ceiling, so I don’t even have to roll over to see what time it is.

But for some reason the alarm part will just not go off every once in a while. Today, I woke up at 8:30 (right about when I should be arriving at work) to the dog doing the potty dance. Also, my iPod was frozen. I made this face: >< and kicked it into high gear. I made it at 9, so all I have to do is skip lunch and it’s all good, but man that’s annoying.

I got my iPod unfrozen, too, finally. It’s been making worrisome clicking noises periodically which lead me to believe that its hard drive is slowly unseating itself. I may have dropped it a few times, which probably didn’t help. I know how to fix it, I just don’t want to have to crack open my iPod and do surgery until it’s really necessary.

Or, I could just get a new one, I guess. I kind of want the iPod touch, but I really like my 60GBs of storage. Plus, I like not paying $400 for what’s essentially an iPod nano with a cool screen and a web browser. I don’t need a web browser. There’s only like 30 minutes in an average day where I’m conscious and not in front of a computer. But I like the touch screen…

Anyway, I slacked about on my writing again last night, but some progress was made. Namely, the main character is in the city in which the climactic ending will take place. So, maybe another 20 pages to go? Or more. Oh, who the hell knows anymore? Not me.
