The nightmares are getting weirder. Last night I was playing some kind of volleyball game at my high school, and everyone was laughing at me because I couldn’t serve the ball over the net. If you know me, you know that I am an extremely competitive person (especially in the things which I’m halfway decent at; volleyball being one of those things). Then I went into the locker room, and proceeded to GIVE MYSELF A ROOT CANAL. I actually took my teeth out of my head (not individually, as an entire package) and tried to follow Internet intructions. WHAT?! What is going on inside my brain lately? Can these all be stress dreams? Dreams of impending failure? I don’t know, but now that you all think I’m completely psycho, I’ll change the pace a little bit:

Why can’t we buy things on cell phones here the way they can in Japan? I don’t think that’s fair. In fact, I don’t think it’s fair in general that Japan gets all the cool stuff first, and then proceeds to integrate all their fabulous new technology into their lives, while we salivate from across the pond.

Whatever, they’re totally going to have the robot holocaust first. Oh, and that makes me think of something else! Apparently I say “robot” like “row-butt,” and this is not correct. Except now I think it’s hilarious and emphasize it at every opportunity. Ok, time to go to work. Thanks for everyone who has been reading! I hope I don’t scare you away with this post about my creepy dreams.

From Engadget:

Well, looks like Apple’s updating their iPod mini lineup too, but certainly not before introducing (yet) another addition to their iPod starting lineup—the iPod nano. It will feature 500 song/2GB and 1,000 song/4GB capacities, a color display, and, of course, a click wheel. The device is no more than 62% the size of the already diminutive iPod mini, weighs 1.5 ounces (42 grams), will come in black (as well as iPod white), and includes a few new niceties such as a nighttime inverse screen mode for the $199 and $249 pricetag. Dock ($29) not included, but lanyard headphones will be available for $39.

Also, the Rokr.

Interesting! That looks pretty hot. Too bad it’s not a video iPod though. Ever slowly we inch closer…

Any minute now, Apple is going to make their announcement about something NEW AND GREAT! What will it be? An iTunes phone? Maybe. An iTunes Video Store? That would be rad. Of course, if that were the case, a video iPod would also be necessary. I was supposed to be at the Moscone Center to hear the announcement, but I got to work too late. I’ll find out soon and let everyone (who is everyone?) know. I was rooting for the phone for a long time, but then I found out that:

• You cannot uploud your own music to the phone from your computer.
• Each song that you buy from your phone will cost you $2 instead of $.99. Lame!

I’m hoping that Apple still have the ability to surprise, and unveils something that no one was expecting. But honestly? I doubt it.

UPDATE!
I’m a liar. You can use you own music on the phone, according to Apple.

In other “inexplicable items Veronica covets” news, this USB device is dangerously adorable. I have to get off Shiny Shiny right now and sternly tell myself that I do not need a USB flash drive shaped like a little monster. Why must they torment me so??
