Drawings by Will
L-R: A truck pulling a camper trailer, a car hauler, an ambulance, and a car. I just love his proportions.
This is "the whole city" he says.

A Heap of Postcards
A fun new hobby! Making stop motion videos. I've been watching them for months, but couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. Finally decided to drag out my postcard collection tonight and give it a shot.

Save Your Packaging, Boys and Girls
If you buy an iPod that is. Because if said iPod breaks after you've owned it for 180 days and before you've had it a year, it will still be covered under warranty. But, as it MUST be shipped for repair in original packaging, if you don't have the extended warranty, Apple will charge you $32 to ship you packaging for you to ship the iPod back to them in. Eek. No fun. Yea, I currently have an iPod that won't charge, and $32 less in my bank account.
Lesson. Learned.
It really sucks too, because we're hoping Jason can get me an iPod Touch for my birthday in April, so it's probably going to be gone for a month or so to get fixed, and then I'll only need til April. But we figured we'd better get it fixed, because just as soon as we don't, we won't have the money to get my new one, and I'll be iPod-less. Also, the cheapest 2nd Gen 4G Nano on Amazon is $80, so I figure maybe I can sell it for $90 or so, since it's in brand new condition with the exception of this whole charging issue. I've treated it like glass for the last ten months. I bought the best case Belkin had for it, so despite how easy they are to scratch, there isn't a scratch on it. Figure, throw in the case and the iPod socks I have for it, and I can buy a pair of the real Apple headphones to send with it pretty cheap. So I can get maybe $90 or $100 for it.
Okay, sorry, I'm rambling. Justifying $32 in my mind. LMAO. Hrm, I guess that's really all that's going on today, so later taters!
