Hope everybody out there had a great Valentine's Day. We had a very relaxing day. Ran some errands in the afternoon, watched the latest episode of House, a movie called Bon Cop, Bad Cop, and a romantic dinner for two at home to top it off.

While I was skeptical about going back to the Apple store for my scheduled appointment, I walked away pretty satisfied and impressed. I was miffed that they didn't help me last week and I had to book an appointment to get some service, fully expecting the "geniuses" to either make me buy a new iPod or make me come back again to get it actually fixed after the diagnosis.

Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Lunar New Year!
