I have a new... first cousin, twice removed (his grandmother is my cousin).  He was named after White Lighters (is "Charmed" better or worse than late seventies pop music when it comes to nominal inspiration?) and is a month early.  He's a hefty four pounds and a bit and his parents will be telling his birth story for *years*.  Apparently there's a lot of kids born the past few days around here:  no room at the inn, indeed.

Also, "I've got a Mustang, it'll do eighty..."

Um, well, I do have a Mustang but it won't even do one.  Poor thing.  I do, however, have a shiny new iPod.  Still, as usual, I'm quite confused.  8GB iPods are $200, but iPods with ten times that storage are only fifty dollars more.  I feel like I'm missing something.  

You'll excuse me while I start ripping music off my well-worn CDs.
