a. youre CD's are packed away
b. your iPod battery is dead and
c.you cannot find the charger nor a firewire cable.
Beyond the hassle of packing and losing control of where things are, is the mundane task of changing your address. One of the first items I changed mailing for was our delivery of the Wall Street Journal. Its a daily reader that I cannot be without (have I mentioned that they seem to have a music download or iPod related story almost weekly?).
Forwarding my WSJ daily has had an odd bonus addition. I now have a copy of the Chinese Daily Journal delivered as well... daily.
You may ask if the former owners of our new pad were Chinese. Unfortunately no. More likely than not, they think I am Chinese and in need of another 80 pages of skim material or they're simply mis-delivering it. Being that we're 2 weeks deep into this double dutch of news, its hard to believe that the true owner of this paper has not called to complain.
Its also important to relate how differen the published images on the front of the World Journal are compared to normal English US paper. The photos from Iraq seem harsher and to the point. Risk taking in news is a good thing.
