Amy Winehouse was arrested on suspicion of drug possession.

Hey you know what? I just discovered that you can buy replacement earbuds on eBay.

By earbuds I mean those little round nipply looking things that make a pair of earphones stay in your ears a little bit better and sort of act as a parabola for the sound. I've been known to call them 'boomsuckers' when I can't think of their real name.

Anyway, John was using his on the way to work one morning, and a kid shoved past him and jostled his earphones loose, and one of the buds went *ptoink* and disappeared into the melee as they were leaving the bus.

I still marvel at what's for sale on eBay.

That probably meant the square root of doodly drool to y'all, but I was impressed, so thanks for letting me share.

John loves his iPod. We spend part of the evening programming his device for the next day, and it's become a creative part of the evening schedule.

Anything having to do with art or music, both of which are now being purged from a significant number of school programs now.

I would have told myself this.
