This past weekend, I was in beautiful New Jersey for Nancy's beautiful wedding. It was a truly lovely ceremony and reception and a ton of fun. I was still a bit hurting from the prior night's festivities when I boarded my 6:22pm train at 7pm. The train was packed, but I didn't care so much. My plan was to pass the hell out the second I hit the seat. I was passing between cars when my headphones were pulled off my neck, where they'd been resting. The cord had caught on one of the train attendants. He apologized. I said, "No sweat," and kept walking. And then I looked at my headphones and realized that the right ear piece had been completely ripped off. Sweet.As I sat in my seat listening to the woman on my left talk into her cell phone about some crazy party she'd attended the previous night and the guy on my right talk into his cell phone in an attempt to make plans with someone for later that evening, I decided that maybe it was time to purchase that new iPod I'd been considering. I've been planning to purchase the new iPod nano (after I decided that the iPod Touch was a bit out of my price range) but had been putting it off due to other expenditures. Now, I figure that the $20 I would invest toward a new pair of headphones would be better spent going toward a Nano.
As you know, I'm not great with decisions, but I immediately opted for the red Nano. It's part of the (product) Red campaign and the most aesthetically pleasing. (Frankly, I sort of hate Apple's new range of pastel colors.) Who knew that I could make decisions on my own?! Then, the silly people at Apple foiled me: Free Engraving. What was I supposed to get engraved on my iPod? Clearly, this isn't the sort of decision that I can make on my own. I've gone from something as banal as my name to an only mildly less banal quote about justice to -- so far my favorite -- simply the words, "I'm the Boom King."
Help.
[Edited to add that "I'm the Boom King" was originally Cicie's idea.]
