Sudden wave of nostalgia

I’m sitting here trying to do some work, listening to music. ABBA. Yeah, I know, I know. I’ve been completely obsessed since I saw Mamma Mia! in the theater.

Anyway, I’m clicking around in iTunes from one ABBA song to the next looking at the album artwork. Then, all of a sudden, i get this unexpected flash of nostalgia. Remembering flipping through my parents vinyl records. Putting them on the record player and placing the needle on the black vinyl.

Getting a record back then just was more exciting than it is these days. Everything from going to the record store and buying it to taking it out of the case and placing it on the record player.

iPod troubles

So, I have an iPod mini, that I’ve had for over 3 years now. I’m on my 3rd battery. I’ve used it heavily for the whole time I’ve had it, and I don’t think I could handle the commute to and from work without it. Recently, my headphone jack started acting weird, only playing back one channel. First I thought it must be my headphone cord that has a glitch, but after trying another set of headphones, the same problem persisted.
