…and bought an iPod. A white 2 GB Nano, to be specific. It arrives tomorrow.

I’ve been good for a full five years and really never missed having an iPod, regardless of how cool they were. Five months in New York with virtually no time behind the wheel, though (I used to do the majority of my listening in the car), made me susceptible to the iPod’s lure. Right now I’ve only been listening to tunes at home on Saturdays and Sundays. I miss my music.

I wanted the iPod so bad, in fact, that I had it overnight shipped from Amazon. So urgent was my need that I decided to ignore the fact the Nano hasn’t been updated since September, hence making it ripe for an revision. I’ve been hoping for a more scratch-resistant and maybe a more interesting color (I liked the blue Minis). I didn’t feel like waiting any more, so I bit the bullet (and bought a case to keep off the scratches).

My rationalization is if I use the Nano a lot and the next full-size iPod goes wireless or adds the rumored full-size screen maybe I’ll update later in the year. Since I didn’t buy the full 4 GB and got the 2 GB on discount this plan feels justified (Amazon discounts most of them, and also prices the white ones cheaper than the black ones). Self-delusion at its best.

Anyway, tomorrow I become the ultimate late iPod adopter. You’ll be able to find me zoned out on the streets of New York City.
