Jerry's new plates



Jerry got his new personalized plates the other day. And have I mentioned that he's a footy-head? I'm going to the grand final with him on October. Everything else that needed booking was booked before he bought the tickets for the event. Thats how excited he is about footy.

My new mp3 player!

The picture is a bit crappy. It looks better in real.

I don't know how good or bad the battery life really is because I haven't had the chance to continuously use it for more than 2 hours. The software is not as user friendly but nothing too complicated. I was hoping that its just plug, drag and drop but its not so I have to install the software.

It took me two days to finish transferring everything but it was all worth it! Now I can listen to all my music anytime anywhere without havng to bring all those CDs with me and changing discs. No more wishing I have my Great Southern Trendkill CD because someone is giving me the shit or wishing I have my Strange Highways CD because I'm feeling joyful; No more skipping and glitches while walking; No more worrying that someone might steal my CDs; No more being really careful with my backpack to avoid damaging the CDs. But of course, now, I have to be careful with this new machine.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied. All I need now are speakers (decent ones) for my laptop. Which I've been meaning to get but just couldn't be bothered to look because I use my stereo to play music and Jerrys media computer is available for use.
