No! This can’t be happening to me! When the gem of your life freezes up
My iPod Nano froze up this morning while standing at the train station. Naturally, I accepted this little incident with grace and patience… and faith… and muttering Christianized obscenities under my breath. It’s broken! nooooo! I had no idea what to do.
