my ipod

My iPod died.

I'm going to take it into one of the Apple stores around here, but if it's not fixable, then I might just get a new media player, maybe one of those Archos thingies. While I love Apple's designs, I didn't like the short battery life, or the DRM-filled crap it came with. Whatever I get next will have to be both compatible with PCs and Macs (since we might get a Mac when we move).

KCRW Bookworm interview with Dave Eggers

Recipe for brussels sprouts roasted with balsamic vinegar

Kevin Smith's Top 10 films of 2006

KCRW The Treatment interview with Forest Whitaker - mostly about the Last King of Scotland, which, by the way, he was amazing in.

I've been cleaning up my stuff a little (and by a little, I mean very little), and I noticed that I have a bunch of defunct magazines. I have two issues of Kitchen Sink, which stopped publishing last month. I actually liked Kitchen Sink's art more than I liked the writing, which I found kind of clunky. I have the second debut issue of Radar, which is now only online. I liked Radar, but I never thought they were going to last. I have Budget Living - that ended last December, as advertisers decided they didn't like the magazine telling people how to live more cheaply. Not that anything in the issue I had could actually be classified as "budget". Maybe it was budget living if you had a trust fund. Frommer's Smart Shopping is gone, too. I only bought the first issue, and it was full of useful advice, but they picked cheapness over quality too much for my tastes. His other magazine, Budget Travel, is still around. Oh, and I used to read Sassy - I didn't buy it, but my mom used to get all her friend's daughter's old magazines and I loved flipping through them. I wish I still had them. We probably just threw them out in the trash or something.

I have nothing profound to say about this, except maybe I really like magazines that cost too much to make. Anyway, I saw a new magazine today - MissBehave. The editor is an Asian chick, yay! The tone is really hip hop casual and loud, and there's little insecurity. I really like it.

Huh. It's published by Mass Appeal, which explains the hip hop design.

Anyway, I CANNOT subscribe to any more magazines!
