Recently I was looking at buying something for myself. I've been here in japan all alone for four months, working so hard(Stop that, don't snicker) , and I've been thinking of rewarding myself with a present (But I didn't want to buy no chess book, or any chess-related chess stuff for that matter). Since I was getting bored during train rides, i thought I'd listen to music to pass time. So I went into the yodobashi electronics store and...

I've heard about how cool this little thing looks and how good it feels in your hands, but I never imagined it would be this cool. When I held it for the first time, I became really happy. I'm serious, not since I've bought my first car have I felt like this about a purchase. The curves, the smoothness, the lines, I was gushing all over.

However, I actually think its a little overpriced and all, so I attempted to buy the sansa instead. Only, I found myself constantly going back to the iPod displays. So what the heck! Just for once I'll be selfish and do something for me. It can't hurt to buy something I want every now and then right!? All I can say is, thank goodness I bought it. I think I made the right decision. Even now I'm smiling stupidly at myself (Apple, you can have my money and my thanks).
