iPod as Procrastinatory Device
Spurred by a generous gift of new music from my friend Ian (who really should be a DJ), I just spent hours and hours of precious non-kid time over the last few nights fooling around with my iPod (and iTunes)--loading music on, taking music off, renaming tracks, remixing the iPod playlist, cursing the fact that I can fit "only" about 850 songs on there, downloading individual songs from the iTunes music store (really annoying interface, I have to say) with the intention of making a "Best of" mix, etc etc. And I could easily blow a few more hours doing this (I haven't yet finished the mix, for example.)
I'm beginning to suspect a massive case of novel-avoidance/writer's procrastination. (Atchoo!) Watch out you don't get infected.

Ian does do make great CDs. And I know how lost one can get in a cool project like that. But I also know you'll be writing again any minute, and I'm looking forward to the read. :)
Aww shucks.
