a.k.a. some good news and some bad news, with just a splash of self-pity (because, really, it's my journal and I'll cry if I want to):
R.I.P. Black Pearl

nb: the scratches & the weird edges/corners are courtesy of my brother; in addition to taking REALLY BAD CARE of the iPod (direct quote: "it got slammed in a few doors") he apparently also thought it would be clever to RUN A LIGHTER AROUND THE EDGES, thereby bubbling, burning, and generally fucking up the clear plastic. WHAT THE HELL. ASSHOLE.
HOWEVER, ( Saving The Day: what best friends are for? )
ETA: MEET GRETA! thank you,
kinetikatrue! I am plotting as to your reward. we will be in touch. *g*
SO: help me name my new 2004 40G iPod Photo! as stated above, the main criterion is that the name be OUTSTANDINGLY AWESOME and/or TOTALLY SWEET. in particular, I am leaning toward names that are a little more dignified than your average fare. also, I am aware that I am very silly. shh.
the winning suggestion(s) will earn the person(s) who suggested it(/them) ... something. I do not know what quite yet. but something! along with the joy and warmth of knowing that you have assisted a friend in need!
...SO COME ON!
