I had planned to walk to the store, and I wasn't about to let a little rain or a bit of darkness or a teeny thunderclap or a minuscule bolt of lightning stop me. Actually, it was quite pleasant! It should be done more often, weather permitting. :P
I returned from my evening expedition with new earphones. I have a nasty way of going through earphones. I use mine with my computer at home and with my iPod Shuffle on the road. And somewhere in between I wear them down. The last ones I had have a lifetime warranty on them. I need to look into that.
The new ones were inexpensive, but the construction seems to offer more protection to the wires, especially at the joints, where the wire enters the ear buds and at the plug end. Plus, they come with a cable winder, which is really what I need. Who needs over a metre of cord!? Just the tree-people, and I most definitely do not qualify as one of them. But I digress. The ear buds aren't as cushioned as my previous ones. The sound quality is ok, but not as good as my previous ones I don't think — hard for me to tell as I can't hear what I'm not hearing. Hmm. The sound is not as crisp and maybe some of the bass is getting lost. I can live with all of that as long as they stand up for a while.
I'm not sure how this became a consumer report. :-/
What I do want are headphones! I have no idea how far up the hi-tech scale I want to go. Probably not too far up. And I'm not sure which brand, though I saw some JVC ones I liked. Primarily, they must look nice. I kid! Sorta.
I bought a pair of wedge-heeled clogs the other day. Picture is forthcoming. But now it is late.
Good night, world. :)
