Podfic Interface Device Acquired!
Jul. 30th, 2009 03:02 pmI am liveblogging my experience with my new Podfic interface device, more commonly known as an MP3 player. I'm feeling peakish today, and this is a nice activity that involves little movement.
I went with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wyoluvr's rec and bought a blue Sansa clip. Sansa! Like the character in Song of Ice and Fire! Too bad she's so annoying, because it's a cool name. Also, possibly she will get less annoying in later books?
It is SO CUTE, you guys. Very, very small. I'm not quite so sure why the smallness is desirable; it should come with a magnifying glass. I can imagine that people with hand difficulties or large fingers have trouble with the controls on these.
While it charges via my laptop, I'm downloading fic, mostly via![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
thingswithwings' rec posts. Many tabs are open. I'm going to have to make a new folder! Just like I did with vids! I'm reaching new levels of fannish involvement, and it is exciting.
OH I ALSO BOUGHT THE FIFTH SEASON OF SGA. I'm not quite sure if that merits a /o\ or a \o/.
And I filled out an application for an apartment-- one directly across the hall from some friends of mine (antarcticlust and JackShoeGazer). And had a walk & lunch withjesse_the_k. What a productive day!
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. **Prudes beware**
At a fannish gathering last night, we got to talking about, "Did your parents ever give you the sex talk?" For some reason, mine never did, at least not that I can recall. Which is a bit odd: my mom's a nurse and I grew up on a farm. The facts of life were clear from a young age, what with all the animal husbandry and lambing season etc, and I'm pretty sure my parents knew I was not having sex in high school. So maybe that's why. But I wonder if my brothers got The Talk and I didn't, you know?
The others reported that their experiences were at turns awkward, negative, terse, straightforward, or were given too late.
So, friends list, what about you? I'm curious.
