I envy my sister's iriver H10.

Now she's the one with a working MP3 player.

Ish.

Attn. Apple: Why do you keep making iPods so flimsy?

Blast it.

You might have heard of an issue with my iPod's battery not holding its charge as well as it should. You might have also heard that I fixed it (without any help from Apple - yay me!) and it has been working well ever since.

Well, until a few days ago, that is...

On a very lovely Thursday afternoon I left the iPod on while I napped. I woke up to a horrible screeching sound and this little icon:


Which pretty much means my iPod's hard drive is dead.

Why me? Why do I have to shell out as-near-as-dammit RM100 just for a battery and a piece of plastic, only to find out a few months later that I have to spend another only-God-knows-how-much-this-is-gonna-cost-me-oh-no-it's-gonna-f***ing-rip-my-wallet-open for a bloody hard drive?

There is, however, one good thing about this.

I could make a case for a brand-new jet-black video iPod...



































...nah. That's just jon-jon's wishful thinking.
