Earmuffs! Wait, no...
Nothing new or particularly exciting to report, but I felt like posting anyway! I have yet to reach a decision of any sort regarding my short-term job outlook, but ponderation is proceeding pleasingly, or at least as well as can be expected.
I've been hanging out a fair bit with a new friend I met at work, so that's been fun! We saw Hot Fuzz, which was quite funny and random, and generally had an enjoyable evening. Earlier in the same day I purchased myself a present with my berfday money. Wanna know what it is? Too bad! Mwa ha ha ha! ... ...
Okay okay. I got myself a super-awesome pair of headphones! Grado SR-125's. Awwww yeah. I auditioned them and a couple other pairs at Desco A/V across town. These ones by far kicked the most ass for the price. They are more revealing of detail than any other speakers I've ever had. Acoustic guitar sounds amazing, the chords have real texture, I can picture every finger, hear every string being strummed. I hear details in music I've never heard before. It's not just a guitar being played through headphones, it sounds like a REAL guitar, it has texture, depth, warmth, I can hear all the details of fingers moving up and down the frets... Okay, I'm gushing. Suffice to say, I'm quite happy with my purchase.
The only bad thing is that when hooked up to my receiver playing through the digital output of my computer, the music doesn't have quite as much depth or texture. Granted, it still beats the bejeezus* out of any other music-reproducing device I have, but it doesn't sound as good as it did on that expensive store equipment! I gotta hook up my DVD player and see if it comes closer. Oh well. Thus is the life of a broke-ish audiophile.
Hmm... any other news? Ah, I'm going to a PUSA concert tomorrow! WOO! *Does a happy monkey dance*
Generally life is proceeding just swimmingly.
*We don't like that Bejeezus fellow.
