wow, 2 whole posts in february, huh? i know you're saying, "justin, where do YOU find the time?!"

so, sheeeeit, what have i been doing... finally hit up the doctor, basic gist is that i won't be running for the next month, and prolly won't be running the 5k in may. oh well, ain't quite ready for that one yet.

alayna and i finally got our ipod shuffles shipped from amazon. only problem is they don't have the armbands in stock yet, so we can't work out with them. they're smaller than i expected, and about as simple as you'd imagine. it's weird not having a screen at all, but if you're using it while working out, i don't see why it's gonna matter. interested to see how well the stock headphones work out, kinda concerned about the cord being too long. i don't really care about sound quality while working out, just don't wanna get all tangled up and look like an idiot.

finally saw napoleon dynamite the other day. it wasn't all that clever or anything, but a few of the scenes had us laughing. it was only 85 minutes long, but i couldn't completely blame alayna for losing interest with 20 minutes to go. the movie had a few funny parts, but no plot worth caring about at all. imdb's 7.2 is quite generous.

i'm convinced lately that sony has no idea what they're doing. they're gonna release this Hi-MD Photo, and i have no idea why. why would you wanna put photos on a Hi-MD? the only other thing you could put Hi-MDs in is a Hi-MD player.

apple's ipod photos have been selling well. those are almost equally pointless, but the difference is ipods can be mounted as removable drives, so it's really just like storing some photos on a USB drive. myself, i still don't entirely see the need to have my photos handy to show anyone at any given moment, but i guess i can see the use for it. hell, i've even done that on my pda before.

i gotta reboot my pc for something, so i'll leave it at that. i'll post later if i have the inclination, heh.
