It's 5AMish, & I Feel a Little Emo

My iPod is dying. It's been a good 3 1/2 years, so I can't really say that I'm... disappointed in it. I frankly expected it to start dying a lot sooner. But despite its many hours of service, I'm still annoyed to all hell at it. No sir, Mr. Classic iPod, you're not getting any sympathy from me! Your constant pausing and refusal to play continuously for more than half an hour is crossing the line, no-sir-ee! I'm gonna do what I should've done years ago! What's the newest generation of Sony players...

So I'm considering buying a Sony 8gb for about 60-70 bucks. I hardly used a 10th of the Classic iPod's storage, so I won't notice the size difference. A lot of reviews comment on the relatively small user wheel, but I'm sure that after a few months, I won't even notice the difference. Plus, this product has an FM tuner, which is something I'm actually looking forward to having in a portable player again. Maybe it's the old fuddy duddy in me, but I enjoy listening to hours and hours of commercial laden music, with playlists that boast hardly any variety and that contain songs with less lyrical content than most elementary school haiku.

... wait, no, but I'm being serious about liking the option of having an FM tuner. Real talk, real talk!

Still job hunting. Clerical positions have rather stringent requirements, which seems a bit silly, considering that a good chunk of those positions don't pay particularly well. I suppose in this economy, companies can afford to be a bit choosier and pay less, since the demand for jobs is so high. I'm considering doing a 2 job stint and just murder the free time for a while until something better comes my way. Hopefully I can land a job somewhere soon. This lack of real purpose behind my life is starting to get to me. My sleep schedule is entirely out of whack, I'm starting to feel listless, I still have bills to pay and debts to get rid of... Bleh.

I should look into getting an unpaid internship, and just get my foot in the door, but I need the revenue. I can't really justify working for free to myself... but then again, I'm barely employed right now. What would an unpaid internship really do to my current situation except eat into my gas bill a bit more?

Bleh. Gonna job hunt a bit more online before falling asleep.
