I've always kind of been fascinated by those people addicted to their Blackberries--I'm a pretty connected person, but I just don't have that many people to talk to all the time. However, as the proud owner of a new iPod Touch, I think I'm beginning to understand the complete addiction: now why don't I know more people constant glued to thieir iPhones? It's all about the apps and the interface, man. I'm already feeling a strong need for a full-on iPhone so I can have internet ALL the time. How will I survive without wifi back in my Village flat?! Oh, what a deprived life I lead.

Honestly, though: I think I'm usually pretty good at not taking my situation in life for granted, but it's things like Christmas in Connecticut (not the movie) that remind me how long of a straw I drew in this whole life gig thing. Merry Christmas, everyone :)
