Earl and I have been working hard at the gym for the past couple of weeks and I still can’t get the hang of one specific thing: how to properly accessorize with my iPod.
The last time I went to the Apple store I picked up a Sportswrap for my iPod. My iPod is a couple of years old, so it’s a “traditional” one, being full sized and having a black and white LCD screen. But I love it and I don’t see myself replacing it for quite a while.
The problem is I keep getting tangled up in the earphones wire.
Tonight I was doing my thing on the treadmill, bopping along to a special 10 minute remix of “Hung Up/Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” when I realized that I had somehow wrapped my arm around the earpiece and I was pulling my head down towards my chest, while my iPod was coming unwrapped from my arm, making it look like I was jogging at an awkward pace with some sort of palsy (not that there’s anything wrong with that). But the only affliction I had was a poorly placed iPod.
I ended up jacking into a rerun of “Deal or No Deal” instead. Madonna will just have to wait.
I highly recommend these:

They’re a little bulky to wear but the joy of no cords is well worth it.
You are one up on me. I got a Samsung MP3 player for Christmas. Can’t figure it out. It is currently a really expensive radio. Sigh. Someday I will read the book and get some of my tunes on it.
