Haha really...i don't know. Should i hold a housewarming part next saturday (15 september) or not? It's just that i've been feeling very erm...introverted lately? (is that even the right way to use the word??) It's more like...i've been very unwilling to go out, and i've been getting a bit too comfortable staying at home and not meeting anyone.
It's definitely not because of my PS2, because i've somehow started to play it less and less! So what have i been doing? Well...surfing the net, watching anime, and reading, of course! In addition to a few hours on the PS2 as well lol. (Just for your information, i've started on my clearance! It just means that i'll be having long weekends for the next 2 months..) Anyway, i promised everyone that i'd hold the housewarming party...but i'm afraid to invite people over and end up not giving a fun enough time or accomodating the right number of people...well, in short (or not), i'm afraid that i'd invite too many people and, because of my introvertedness and lack of planning time,
screw the whole party up. Man...quite different from my VJC days huh.
Ohwell..apart from that..have you people seen the new iPods that have just been released? From what i heard from my friend, you can go down now and pre-order the iPods with a 1-3 week waiting time..or you can simply go online and order it from the US site straightaway with free delivery! (So online is probably FASTER..go figure.) iPod Touch seems really nice but the lack of storage space - 16GB max - is really a bummer (i think i need at least 40-50GB for songs, personally). iPod classic's the same as usual...their 80GB model's thinner now though (the size of the former 30GB model) and replacing the old 80GB model is a 160GB one!
And the prices have really dropped a bit! Now you can get a 80GB model for around S$430 and 160GB for around S$600.
Actually, that part really bugs me. I don't think it costs that much more to increase the harddisk space from 80GB to 160GB! Or you can also say that it shouldn't cost that much LESS to downgrade from a 160GB model to 80GB. Personally, i think Apple's pricing scheme's a little screwed up...they kinda make it seem as if an 80GB increase in space is SOOO big and SOOO worth the money. There's only about a
S$15 difference in commercial 80GB and 160GB harddisks that you buy outside. The difference should be nearly the same even with Apple's "special iPod harddisks", not to mention that the 160GB model is thicker (a BAD thing!) which should reduce the price gap even more. So what gives?
Too bad you can't alter your iPods and increase its harddisk space (not that i know of, at least). So they can just set the price that they want. And i'd still have to buy it anyway, because i've been sucked into the iPod lifestyle. What a bummer. :(
