Step 1

Much to falkenna's joy when she reads this, Aunt Tudi and I picked up the forms we need to file for our passports. Once I get my 401k money, things should move relatively quickly from there. I'm still looking at travelling to England in April, probably late April. Once the passports are in hand and the flights are booked, a more definite date will be available.

As the time grows closer, I have the urge to get an extra memory card for the camera. If I keep the pics to 640x480, I can take around 1300 pictures if I get an extra memory card the size of the one I already have. That's pretty darned sweet. And I would really like to get some Quicktime movies of B for the site. Now that I have a buttload of available space, I think it'd be pretty groovy to have B in motion for all those interested to behold and swoon along with me.

I also have the urge to get an MP3 player to listen to whilst on the plane, but I don't know if I should splurge that much. I'm already going to be getting a new computer for school. I don't need an MP3 player. But having one for the trip would be sweeter than sweet. And I could store songs I want to play for falkenna and Barry. Hell, I may make a poll about this and get other people's opinion. Yeah, that's the ticket.

And there's the issue of getting a decent outfit for when I meet The Bald One. Something with a really high collar and a kevlar hat and corset. Something black or black and red. Something breathtaking that will make me look smaller, but also very imposing and maybe even a a little threatening. With matching boots that can conceal knives. Word.

that's EXACTLY what I want.

I am in love with mine. It's like a pirate radio station with nothing but my music that plays only in my car. :)

These are great in theory, but make sure you can try before you buy. Not all models work well with all cars. Since my FM antenna is actually on my roof, the metal between the roof and the FM transmitter plugged into the iPod act as an effective shield, so those things don't really work in my car.

Unless I drive around with my arm hanging out the window holding my iPod.

Far better (if you have a cassette deck) is to get a special cassette with a wire that plugs into your MP3 player's headphone jack, and then the cassette goes into your deck. The sound quality is much better, and the special cassettes are significantly less expensive than little FM transmitters.

Phooey. I don't have a cassette deck.
