All the Black Eyed Peas a girl could want.

I don't get excited about much - it's in my nature as a cynic and skeptic, and it makes it impossible for people to buy me gifts.

That being said, I have to confess that there is a e-gadget that makes me moisten my pants slightly.

One of my friends asked if I used Yahoo! messenger. I typically don't use a messenger at home because it distracts me away from playing with the Sims. Since the phone reception I get in my home is shoddier than average I downloaded the new version so that we could have our usual expletive-laced conversations without worrying about me sitting in the 3' x 3' corner of the house where my phone actually works.

It's not the messenger itself that I'm so hyped up about, but the streaming radio tool that's integrated into it. You get limited features with the free version, such as only five song skips per hour, and after a certain number of hours of play each much they cut you off.

I actually liked the service so much that I upgraded to the paid service.

The really cute thing about it is it's ability to tell your buddylist something about you. You can set it up so that who and what you're listening to displays next to your user name. A friend who knows me very well asked "Why are you listening to Trick Daddy?" It just happened to be on the "Today's Big Hits" list on that day, but either way it was a good laugh.

I don't listen to a whole lot of music radio at home or in the car, so I'm getting familiar with a few new great artists that I may add to my disc collection.

I dig it.
