The KexPod arrived yesterday.

After about 5 months of waiting (Okay, you can scratch all of that before January: I was holding hope that I'd get one for Christmas.), several PMs and hint-dropping blog entries, the KexPod has arrived.

Yeah, it was only 4 business days, but what it took to get it mailed was ridiculous.

(By the way, I still owe Kex $50 (or lifetime premier membership) for the iPod, but that's on hold until his PayPal account is un-hung-up.)

Kex left me a smattering of hits on the playlist before sending it, and, I must say I'm very behind the times, rock music-wise. The only song I recognized was "Kryptonite", by Three Doors Down. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any nice way to take the songs off the iPod and into iTunes, so many of them will probably be given a token listen-to, and deleted: I rip my mp3s at 160 instead of 128, so space is marginally more an issue.

One of the CDs I was holding off on ripping: Devotion by the Newsboys, wouldn't read on my computer. That makes me sad. I'm going to have to find someone else to rip tracks 1 & 2 for me now, or buy a new CD.

Also on the "to get" list: something by Shawn McDonald ("Take my hand"), and MuteMath.

ANYWAY, work trudges along. The pace I kept yesterday was disturbingly slow, and will not cut it henceforth.
