Snow Bunny

Went skiing with the iPod for the first time at the suggestion of one of my hardcore snowboarding friends. Quite the experience.

I was a bit apprehensive about the idea, because I'm not a particularly accomplished skier, but I figured the thing was protected well enough in the inner layers of my clothing that if I took a spill which might actually damage it, it would be the last thing I'd be worried about damaging.

Let me just say how awesome it is to be carving your way down the mountain while lsitening to your favorite music. It's way better than driving with a good soundtrack. Better than running; in some ways better than just sitting there enjoying the music in the dark with your eyes closed.

I mean, it's totally about just being in your own world. It's almost on the order of achieving a new level of consciousness.

Now one of these days I should pick up snowboarding and then it'll be all over.
