yepp, i'm a genius

after having a cold for nearly a month that i just couldn't beat down and thinking i might possibly have bronchitis or something, i finally gave in and went to a dr.  he did an extremely minimal/quick physical exam, told me i had type-b flu and that i was going to get sicker.  i found this a little unsettling, but decided that i had been sick long enough and started taking the half-dozen assorted color/shape pills without any explanation as to what each was or what symptoms they were for.  well it happened, i got a whole lot sicker within a few hours of taking the first dose (this has me a bit skeptical).  at this point i couldn't do more than lay in bed with the cold-sweats and try to sleep.

the following day, hyunjoo brought me home from her house.  upon arriving i decided that it was time to wash my blue jacket.  don't know why it had to be then, as i'd been debating about it for a month, but it went straight into the machine.  for a few days i was looking for my ipod, tracing my steps, thinking that i had left it somewhere.  i finally thought i should check the pockets of the clothes i had previously worn and there it was in my blue jacket.  i'm a freaking genius.  at this point it had been a few days since it went in the wash, so i was hoping that it was dry internally.  it would turn on, but everything was all screwy and discombobulated.  i decided to plug it into the computer and itunes opened right up and everything seemed normal.  i could get it to play when plugged in, but as soon as i unplugged it, it went crazy and nonfunctional again.

ipods cost like three times as much in korea as in the states, so i've replaced it with the domestic samsung yepp.  the yepp is comparable to the shuffle but with a simple screen.  it seems to be great so far.

edit:  scratch that claim to greatness.  for some reason it won't play songs sequentially.  without fail they play 3,5,7,9,10,8,6,4,2,1.  must be a bug that i can't figure out how to fix and the world wide internet doesn't have an answer either.
