What the *&^%$

[ksmith]

I've lost my iPod. And I am 99% sure that it's somewhere in the house.

I used it last night.

I have retraced my steps, emptied wastecans, tipped out handbag and briefcase. I couldn't find it when I hunted for it after I left the house, so somewhere between my house and my car, it went *poof*.

Most Outlandish Please Don't Let It Be True scenario--it fell out of my briefcase onto the sidewalk as I walked to the car, and I didn't hear the clatter, and King got hold of it and buried it.

I did a recon of the yard, looking for a trail of earbud cable/cord/whatever

I do not have a garbage disposal or a dishwasher.

I checked the pockets of coats I haven't worn in weeks, looked in bathroom drawers. Maybe I should check the toilet tank.

I've done this before, with my bank card. I would much rather lose an iPod than a bank card if I have to lose something. But I would rather not have lost the blasted thing at all.

ETA: HAH! Thought it could hide from me. Waaaaaaaaaaay under the front seat of the car.

In bedsheets? Under bed? Behind bed headboard? In laundry bag?

Good luck. I always look again and again in the same places until I tell myself, Self, Go Look Somewhere Completely Different. Sometimes that does it.

I hunted the backyard with a flashlight at one point, wondering if King had nabbed it.

Found it under the front seat of the car. Waaaaaaaay under.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled panic attack.

One wonders how inanimate objects can travel so far on their own. Gremilns?

Explain how my purse strap feels the need to grab onto the emergency break handle every.time.I.get.out.of.the.car for the last month. Demon possession?

Strange attractors.

I am so relieved. I remembered using the thing last night and putting it in my briefcase this morning. I really thought I'd lost it.

I forgot to say that I was really glad to read that you'd found it. I can just imagine the time it takes to load one up, not to mention the cost of replacement.

[kristine-smith.livejournal.com]

The cost, yeah. I would likely have put it off, or made do with a Shuffle for a while. But of course, all my gear/attachments are made for a Video iPod.

And I had just applied the Tropical Island skin, with a palm tree and a parrot.

Whew. Glad you found it!

The guess getting a black one would be cool but more lose-able.

I actually have a skin on it with a tropical motif--very bright colors. Just not bright enough.
