do the shuffle

Anyone else get an awful earworm from the title?

As I previously mentioned over here, I’ve opted to start off small in the world of mp3 players and bought this wee shuffle . . . mostly because it was on sale for only 45€ but also because it’s perfect for taking to the gym (I can clip it on my t-shirt sleeve) and meanwhile I can also see how much digital music I have, or have access to, and can better judge what size ipod nano I’ll eventually need/want. Though I’m already thinking that even 8GB is going to be smallish.

And so, after spending almost half an hour getting the damn thing out of the factory-sealed packaging f_cross.gif, and then figuring out how to get a few tunes on it, I tried out my cute silver shuffle for the first time when I went out to a class late yesterday afternoon. And . . . OMG! It’s a whole other world out there! I had no idea how wonderful it would be. Though there is a tendency to half-walk half-dance down the street and I have to take extra care looking out for traffic, as well as not singing along. But it’s very cool! f_cool.gif

Later on today will be the real test. I’ve downloaded a podcast of the News Quiz , which I love and haven’t heard for ages, so we’ll see if this keeps me going on the Dreaded Elliptical Machine for half an hour.

f_holly.gifChristmas came early today at casa azf_holly.gif

After looking at several different cameras within a certain price range we stumbled upon this one last night and then went back this morning for a better look. And frankly, it has everything we want and need and the discounted price included a leather case and a 1 giga memory card, so what the heck. We bought it.

On our way home we stopped at Ay Maricrú! for a pre-lunch drink, and also to start playing with our new toy. Nog was in charge of reading the instructions, I was in charge of pressing all the buttons and going – “oh this is so cool!”. And when Carlos showed up with another round of drinks I said – “Look at our new camera! It’s our Christmas present for each other”, and Carlos winked at Nog and said – “So when do you get to enjoy it?”. Well ha. He gets to enjoy all the photos, doesn’t he???

Anyhow, just charging up the battery now and looking forward to taking our new gorgeous baby out for a trial run this evening. And we’re also looking for a name … thought about using one of the muses but they don’t really seem to fit. Any ideas?

Here are the specs.

[update: new camera name is Holly]
