I realized today that something drives me crazy about this apartment.
And it's the fact that everyone bangs on my window! Now, yes, I know, it's a first floor apartment in a building without any buzzers-what should I expect? But that fist a' knockin' on the window is terrrrrrrrrrrible. Especially when it's delivery peeps, or randoms. And especially when it's at a high frequency.

Ok. Whew. That's off my chest. On to more important matters-like the status of my iPod...

So a few months ago I noticed my iPod would only play the audio through the right ear piece. Kind of annoying, right? Extremely. I did not want to risk my hearing being altered or strengthened/weakened since only one ear would be listening, so occasionally I would switch the working piece to my other ear. And I am not a fan of the whole Apple co., so I have put off going to the Apple Store. Until today, when I decided my ears deserved better.

And you know what? The workers there were not so bad. The guy told me my audio jack was messed up because of the way I wrap my headphones around the iPod (yes! so learn from me and do not wrap the cord around your iPod, unless you don't mind only hearing with one ear...). My first thought was 'Of course ! It's my fault!' then the next thought was 'I am so thankful for my iPod only having minor injuries. After all, it has taken a run in the rain with me, and a swim in the sink a few times also....'

So the gentleman told me to simply get an iPod remote radio, which hooks up through the bottom slot, and has its own headphone jack. He said I could get it for 50 bucks off of Amazon or eBay. But I got it new for about 35 (off Amazon). Boooo yahh. Soon enough, I will have audio in both ear pieces, as well as an AM/FM tuner on my iPod. WIN.
