   Am I the only one without an iPod? My wife got a Nano as a gift and the thing is still in it’s box, as yet untouched by human hands.

   As for my filch - I’m beginning to think that everything I do is a filch of someone else’s ideas. A conceptual plagiarist.

   Get one, Clay. I fought it at first but now I couldn’t live without it.

   Dood. I have a shuffle. No, you don’t know what song is coming and No, you can’t really do podcasts on it(it’s awkward) but OMG it is awesome when you are working out or trying to ignore the world around you. I LOVE taking the shuffle out to walk the dog or go to the gym. It is teeny-tiny and holds my current favs - Feist, Yael Naim, KT Tunstall and Brandi Carlile.

   I love my iPod. I like your taste in music. I think I will steal this post someday soon.

   I have a generic MP3 player, but I too love it (for I am cheap and po’).

   Gosh I wonder if I’m disqualified I filched this idea and thought I saw it on a site on Meg’s list but when I looked it wasn’t there. I have no memory of the filchee. Has anyone ever seen it.

   I remember his 5-10 was ground turkey. Oh Lord.

    [...] I found this idea over on Simply Nutmeg and liked it so I’m “filching” it and bringing it on over here. [...]
