Then idle thoughts started creeping in&#8230;<!--more--><!-- \/\/ --><\/p>\n<p>I was thinking while doing the library, that if I should get another iPod exclusively for my car (see how OC I can be with my stuff?). The iPod touch was simply too small to hold a decent playlist that was meant for the car (read: biggest portable library possible). The 60GB (iPod photo) is ok, but only if we&#8217;re talking music selections &#8211; what about my podcasts? What about my audiobooks? I put that notion aside because it wasn&#8217;t really urgent.<\/p>\n<p>I was bored today (Sunday), so I decided to go to <em>The Fort<\/em> alone and check out the shops. Besides, I was looking for reasons to put some mileage on the car <em>para umabot sa<\/em> 1st 1000km; <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_929_1('footnote_plugin_reference_929_1_1');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_929_1('footnote_plugin_reference_929_1_1');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_929_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">1 <\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_929_1_1\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">So it can have its first periodic inspection<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_929_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_929_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top right', relative: true, offset: [10, 10], });<\/script> which is so difficult to do &#8211; because I don&#8217;t go out that often.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, I saw this cool looking <em>titanium-health-choker-thingie.<\/em> I know that these health stuff don&#8217;t really work, but the choker looked <em>really<\/em> nice.<\/p>\n<p>How nice? Put it this way, it cost 10k, and I was still considering buying it because&#8230; well why the fuck not!? Hahaha. Anyways, I was aware of the impulse and decided to walk around to mull over it some more. I then got into that Mac store and saw a sexy black-metal, black click-wheel 120GB iPod classic.<\/p>\n<p>I decided that if I was willing to spend that much on a useless accessory on a whim, I might as well use that reasoning as a justification to get an actual <em>useful<\/em> item &#8211; one which I&#8217;ve been meaning to get <em>eventually<\/em> anyways.<\/p>\n<p>So I called Dickoy (where I recently have been getting my Mac stuff) to have a unit made ready&#8230; and I&#8217;m now syncing the new iPod as I type this.
