Happy Chanukah!

You heard me right, we had a little early Chanukah in our house this weekend. For a while now I have been feeling inadequate because I don't play a lot of music. I remember that music was on a lot when I was growing up and I feel like it really helped me to love music. I thought a lot about why I haven't been listening to music much and all I could come up with was that it felt really inconvenient for some reason. There are cd's spread all over the house, by all of the little boomboxes I have and I can never seem to find the one I want, or then the cover to the one I am taking out of the boombox, you get the picture. The solution I came up with was to buy an mp3 player with big memory and just upload all the music to it and use a docking station with speakers. So when we went to Costco this weekend and they had the 80GB one for what seemed like a reasonable price, we decided to forgo Chanukah presents for each other and just buy it. I have been busily working on putting the music on it and am halfway through our collection (I have a lot of cd's from when I worked at Borders and got them free all the time). And I have been listening to music a lot!! Unfortunately, mine didn't come with Captain Jack Sparrow (I think that's false advertising, don't you?). Still a good investment, though. Anyone have a recommendation for a docking station that doesn't give them fuzzy ambient noise?
