For Ma's birthday in April, I bought her an ipod nano (4th gen, 8gig) along with some foldable dj headphones.

When she went away and forgot to take it with her last month, I borrowed these for the week. Oh wow. I had forgotten the joy of bus journeys with soundtrack. I used to go everywhere with my walkman, and later with my portable cd player. I even had a very early, pre-ipod mp3 player (a Zepp, which was very stylish and came in a little case, but was huge compared to modern players and could only fit about 15 songs on it :P)*. but i only used that for a short while. I haven't had portable music as a fixture in my life for almost a decade. I used to walk for miles with my headphones on, went everywhere with music.

So, I have decided when Dad's money comes through I am going to treat myself to an I-pod nano and some good headphones (I hate those stupid little ear piece things). I can't wait!
