For those that haven’t kept up with my asinine ramblings since last Summer, you probably don’t know that I have a Sony PSP. Also known as the new love of my life.

I’ve taken to ripping and uploading full movies onto it, and watching them either in bed, or most recently, on the subway.

I am very aware of my surroundings, vigilant and low-key as far as “flaunting” my black lump of gorgeousness on the public transportation system, but I can’t help but think about being the target for a good old fashioned smack in the mush and getting robbed.

Those of you that travel frequently on the C train will no doubt attest to my claim that it doesn’t pass through the safest of ‘hoods. Now don’t get me wrong, I feel safe in my surroundings, but flashing my PSP goodness in the faces of my brethren will most likely get me noticed for the wrong reasons - and not my freakishly engaging cowlick.

I have taken to only watching movies in the morning on the E or V trains once I get into West 4th Street - at least this way I have a wall of trench-coated pen pushers between me and any knife wielding ex cons.
