It has everything from Grieg to U2, but *only* fast-paced music works when working out, the Samuel Barber...?

(Used to be sort of running, but I hate running so why do it?) I get really bored with it. I also get bored with nothing, especially because I hate exercising.<br /><br />Now I download the local talk shows to my mp3 player and listen to them while I walk and while I am at my aerobics class. I hate the music they play at class and listening to the host discuss local politics gets my heart rate up almost as much as the exercise does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-17440508573314734192009-07-10T06:31:29.919-07:002009-07-10T06:31:29.919-07:00That is very funny, I can't walk anywhere with...That is very funny, I can't walk anywhere without music.

The people there are so excited to be working in the Apple store that it's kind of fun. But I have to ask why 2 iPhones? I will let you know if it's worth coveting. For software people, I think it has extra added benefits that the rest of us don't get.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-21027869194224343342009-07-09T17:06:54.918-07:002009-07-09T17:06:54.918-07:00Same reason I would never get a car with a TV so k...Same reason I would never get a car with a TV so kids could watch movies on long car rides; the mind was made to wander...Maureen at IslandRoarhttp://www.islandroar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-9275695319016989772009-07-09T16:59:19.765-07:002009-07-09T16:59:19.765-07:00raptures, yes. there was a time when i spent 4 hou...raptures, yes. there was a time when i spent 4 hours communting per day, and listened to music for much of it. i often found myself wiping away tears, or sasha-fiercing down the steps at train stations. honestly, there are small children with more self possession than me.indigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803452058639223169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-40638250349471691732009-07-09T15:09:40.978-07:002009-07-09T15:09:40.978-07:00Timely...I tried to buy two iPhones today online, ...Timely...I tried to buy two iPhones today online, but they wouldn't let me.
