Experiment.

You know when you have an mp3 player, ipod, if you will, and you get bored of the music on there? Well, if you don't know this feeling of ennui, I do. And, in case you do not, I will tell you a little about it now and a possible solution to the aforementioned problem.

So, with 2 ipods in the rotation now, thanks to the good Doctor, and to the one whom some of my former colleagues referred to as my fiancee, one is used for workout use exclusively, and the other for all music types and videocasts and movies. While the movies take up a lot of space, even after your girlfriend has magically made them smaller, they are extremely helpful for those long overseas flights or short domestic flights with crappy, or no movies. They are also very handy when you are sick as a dog, bundled up in your sleeping bag like a caterpillar whilst the wind whips cold rain and ice crystals at your face in the middle of the night and dark at Dead Horse State Park.

To the ennui. So the music at McFit is no good. Sure, they play a good tune from time to time, but not enough for me to go ipodless. Even so, soft music, and hearing always the same stuff can drive a man crazy. Therefore, as of yesterday I have renovated the workout ipod to not just contain 1 run/workout mix, but to have the entire library workout ready. I have deleted all the soft songs, although 1 did sneak up on me yesterday. Now I can simply shuffle songs on the whole device, and with the newly added songs containing much 'energy', it is like a whole new world. I once tried working out with the other one, but I guess my choice to support the cause of breast cancer research by purchasing the pink armband has backfired, and is maybe actually just for the ladies. A little too small when the biceps get going.

The experiment. To see if this lasts, or will I, in time, become bored of the new music selection. And at that point, I am really sure that I'll remember to let you know. Probably not.
