My first iPod; and its an iPod Touch!

Guess what? I got a new iPod Touch! I know, its awesome! :) Yay me! Wanna know how?

Well, its kind of a long story. Earlier, the Macbook I bought, I actually bought it with another good friend of mine; that time we were sharing the laptop, and I was primarily using the Macbook given to me in one of my workplaces, the New Media Innovation Lab at ASU. But then, I had to return that Macbook because they were upgrading all the laptops before checking them out to students. So sometime in May, I decided to buy another Macbook and keep it for myself, so my friend could keep the other Macbook. So, yay! I had a new Macbook, again! That was on May 13th.

Then, after about two weeks, I got a mail with an offer: Buy a Macbook for college and get an iPod Touch free. (You might want to check out that offer. Pretty good! Its valid till September 8, 2009.) And I had just bought that new Macbook 2 weeks earlier. How mean of Apple to have this offer after I buy the Macbook! X( I wanted to make use of this offer, and was thinking of ways to do it, and so I called up the Apple store, and asked them what I could do to make use of the offer, and they asked me to come to the store.

So I went to the store, praying all along the way, that somehow they should work out something to help me get the iPod Touch. Fortunately for me, God decided to answer my prayers, and the representative there worked up some magic*, and lo! I had my first iPod in my hands! My first ever actual MP3 player, and it was the latest iPod Touch! Woo Hoo!!! Of course, it was the 8 GB one, but who cares! It was free**!

Its been about 3 weeks since I have it, but I haven't been able to load much into it, except download a few apps and games, and about 1/1000000 th of my favorite songs! I hope I find some time to upload more songs...

XOXO,

Excited 'n' Exhausted

* The representative logged it in as though the Macbook was returned and bought again on the day of the offer. Luckily I was just a day from the return deadline. I got real lucky there!
** It was a rebate. I had to pay an extra 300 something, and I would get back $ 229 back, but it would be mailed out to me as check. And the rest of the amount goes as tax and stuff. X( But on the bright side, I get 229 back! :)

Ice Breaker - Stressful Times

Hey Everybody!!!

I know its been quite a while since I posted an entry. Well, I've been pretty busy for sometime. But I've collected a few bits and pieces from the web that I would like to share with you guys. So very soon, I shall put them up. You wouldn't believe, but I have about 43 drafts, waiting to be properly written and published!

Its been quite hectic for me. Working 40 hours per week, and then working on my thesis, and then there's the housework - cooking, washing vessels, washing clothes, drying clothes, folding clothes, ironing clothes, cleaning etc... Then there's eating, sleeping, etc... God, there's so much work to do but no time! I sleep at 3 and I need to wake up at 6 or 7! Till then, I have some work. Its been quite some while since I actually saw a movie, or series or did anything for leisure! :(

Wish I could go back to India! But you know what? I'm planning on getting my mom here to stay with me! Hope things turn out well!

Don't stop reading my blog! I shall be back soon, with plenty of posts. I know I promised some long back, but don't worry, I'll try to post something when I can. Also, I have a lot of recipes as well. Just need to upload photos. :)

Keep reading. (And waiting! Heh heh!)

See you soon.

XOXO,
