SUPER-DE-DOOPER THANKS to my HERMS, my SISTER, my ATES for giving me a cd/mp3 player!! as ancient as it might be in comparison with today's mini-discs and ipods, it was a necessary purchase i was too lazy to make.

maybe since i'm a decade behind with my portable music technology, i'll invest in some cool headphones and just keep the cd player hidden. then i can just pretend i have a cool ipod like everyone else. or not.
