So I ran into Natalie Portman yesterday...didn't have anything on me for her to sign...except my iPod...she thought it was really cool...better than all the Star Wars DVDs she's signed I'm sure...

I'm never selling this

Cool. You should just get one of those clear cases that will protect it while still letting you see the autograph.

She's traveling around the country doing rallies for the Dems getting women to vote...she stayed for about 45 minutes until everyone got a picture with her or got to meet her. She's quite beautiful and kind in person...

I thought she was wearing an Atari t-shirt from the pics on your site, then saw it was a Vote Kerry one.

Try the Speck 4G FlipStand or the ContourDesign 4G Showcase. Both are nice hard shell cases, and the first is completely clear.

If you want one that's not hard, and you just want a clear cover, try (and I do mean TRY... his website is horrible) to get a Zip Skin case from www.lajo.biz. This is a form fitting soft plastic case. Cheap, see through, and pretty tough.

Tungsten T3 screen protector. That's what's on the backside of my iPod.

You don't think that will take Sharpie marker off do you?

EDIT: Worked like a charm (Tungsten screen protector) thanks...

"have fun"?

Isn't that what your mom says to you when you go out bike-riding?

Still cool though.

Heh, I think Natalie Portman could write/say ANYTHING and I'd be happy.

Natalie: Oh my god, your hair is on fire!

Me: Mmmm Natalie

Natalie: Jesus! Get a fire extinguisher! Do something!

Me: ...

"That's Mama Luigi to you, Mario!" *wheeze*

Wow, maybe you should have had her kiss it also. That would have been cool. Natalie's lips and signature.
