I have just had the most emotional hour of my life. And it's not Bar-related.
I thought I broke my iPod. I was starting to pack up some books in my room and was listening to the Cowboy Junkies on my iPod (who I haven't named, but who I'm thinking might need a name). The iPod was in my pocket. Well, then it fell out of my pocket and ONTO THE HARDWOOD FLOOR. I picked it up and it was frozen, absolutely frozen in the locked position, displaying that I was 1:35 into "Oregon Hill" by the Cowboy Junkies.
Noooooooooooooooo!
I called my parents panicked and guilt-ridden, because they are the ones who bestowed my lovely iPod on me last Christmas. My dad talked me off the ledge and had me dig out my paperwork to look and see if Apple has any sort of tech support. I was crying and depressed and convinced that NOTHING would solve this and my 40GB iPod would be no more and it's not like I can afford a new one anytime soon so I'd have to walk to the rest of my Barbri classes and pack and live my life without its own soundtrack.
Did you all know that iPods have their very own version of Ctrl+Alt+Del? Me neither. I watched a little movie on the Apple support site that told me if you hold the Menu button and the Power button down for 6 seconds, the iPod reboots (little tip for those of you with the click dial iPods). Hurrah!
Ok, now I'm going to go pack.

Chris, you found me out.
i think that is something that everyone needs to know incase it happens to them. thanks for posting it! :) all us iPod lovers will be in your debt if it happens to us.
My iPod is named iVor, because he's clearly a strong stoic male type (he even has my name "tatooed" across his back, the sexy beast).
I also considered iGor, iMa, iRene, iLene, iVy, iDa, and iOla.
Wow! I really enjoyed the VaderCoaster! I clicked the link while at work and found my PC sound volume was pretty high so I had prairie-doggin' all around me with a chorus of "What is THAT?!"
Fun!
By the way, the perfect name for your iPod is, of course, iLene.
...and I think you know why. ;-)
Shhh!.....Listen.
Dang! You got me going now. Other good names:
iRate - when you want to cop a 'tude.
I,Robot - cudos to Asimov
iGottaDance - when your feet just won't stay still!
iMyselfAndMe - when you're all about the music
iWriteTheSongs - thank you, Barry
iCanIThinkICan - Toot-toot!
iVanhoe - a real classic
Whew! Okay, I'm done.
Whaddya think, Sirs?
