On wanting to murder someone...

So not only do I have a broken digital camera (although it seems like it will be easily fixed), but now my Ipod is displaying this problem, met with the deflated sound of the hard drive: ch-ch-chug-crackle-crackle. As far as I can tell, I'm fucked... even if I choose to send it to the States to get it fixed, my hard drive is gone, and with it, roughly 18 GB of music that I lovingly gave to it. Concerning electronics, I've had a BAD fuckin' week.

Seriously, I would like to talk about Korean "Hedwig" and an awesome/awful hip hop/house band soul show put on by a mixture of Koreans and ex-pats, both of which I witnessed this past week, but my heart isn't in it right now. All I want to do is cradle my Ipod back to health, but I know its time has already passed.

I'll probably just buy a cheapie MP3 player here in Korea and live off of torrent downloads, then get my proper Ipod fixed when I get back to America. Still, if my camera fails to revive itself at the hands of whichever Korean photography shop I bring it to, you're talking $500 of electronics that have died on me within the first two months of me being here... and this is shit that I bought right before the trip, not two or three years ago.

Expressions of sympathy would be appreciated.
