Temporary Hiatus
As I am suffering through a short term lapse of internet connection at home, posting will be sparse for an undetermined amount of time. I think I will pull through, but I’m feeling quite disconnected. Obviously, I am working on correcting this problem sooner rather than later.
New Gadget: The iHome Clock Radio
Though I am not happy to be 25 — besides the cheaper insurance and ability to rent a car without penalty — the birthday monies from said occasion have provided for a new gadget. Now, I can, if I so choose, wake up to tunes from my iPod or just listen to my iPod [...]
