In my ear
I have new Etymotic 6i in-ear headphones. They rule. It is going to take a little bit of time to get used to having earplug-like inserts in my ears, but I really am amazed. The amount of detail I’m hearing from my MP3 sources is unreal, and CD’s are jaw-dropping. Plus, they’re white so I can maintain my iPod “white supremacy” ‘tude.
Is it just me, or are white ear-buds some sort of badge of coolness these days? I found them to be awful, and chucked them into the back of the closet and stuck with my old reliable Sonys. They’re nothing fantastic, but at least they manage to block some surrounding sound and I don’t have to constantly put them back in my ears at the gym. Stupid ear-buds!
Evicted?!
I’m in Colorado with the Pranger clan having what should be a good time. However, it is all down the crapper now. I just talked to mitchn on the phone and we are apparently being evicted. 30 days notice. 2 well-paid engineers with unreal credit ratings and decade-long employment histories. Evicted.
I was really hoping this would be a place I could spend a lot of time in. I really like it! It’s comfy and roomy, and mitchn and I get along fine. I wanted to have housing-stability, but now I don’t get that. Again, for the 5th time in 6 years, I will be moving house within the Bay Area. Damnit!
