what the Black Pearl *really* is ... is freedom.

I went out this afternoon to get a pair of running shoes...

I came home with the Black Pearl.

i.e. a sleek black 60GB video iPod.
i.e. my baby.

I also got a black "Sports Jacket" sleeve/case and an extra year of care & warranty (through CompUSA, not Apple, of course) and a travel charger, so she'll be in the best of hands. er, form-fitting silicon.

and now I have to mop the floor, when all I really want to do is ditch all previous plans of ficcing and love on my new toy.

mmyes. and if I hadn't insisted on a lovely black one, I'd've had to pay $50 more! so it all works out quite nicely.

(I ran! I ran! I hurt, but I ran! and it's a different kind of hurt, which is a much better, more encouraging, "I may be beginning to perhaps start to get somewhere with this, some time soon" kind of hurt. :D)

Even better! also - video, sigh! You can watch James in action, or bruce all you want now, at any time of day or night...

(And yay for the good kind of hurt. and running. you might even guilt me into starting to run again even though it's like 120 degrees in teh shade here)

But I suspect, you're going to put Kitten on it first...

oh no, James and Bruce definitely top Kitten on the priorities list.

Huzzah!

You what would be so cool? If someone could do a crossover vid where the Bruce/Ducard swordfight gets merged with the James/Jack/Will one and maybe also the Inigo/Westley one as well. I cand decide on a song, though, possibly just a really good hornpipe.

(Yes, I've had too much sugar tonight, why?)

I really wanna do that, now. *rubs hands* Excellent!

(and now the sugar is wearing off and I am going to go to bed and dream of pretty pretty men with big pointy shiny...

I have seen this and I will remember it, oh yes *cackles gleefully and pokes you until you do it*

Also, Black Pearl? Is the best name EVER. I should really call mine the Dauntless, given how many times I've dropped it and it hasn't broken.
