December 9: I am spoiled.

Man, I got problems. You know how I bought earphones for to use in my office, and I was loving the sound? I still love the sound, but I am hating the earphones. I got the kind that sort of sit on your ears and wrap around the back of your head, because I can't get the kind that go into your ears to stay, you know, in my ears, and apparently only a lamechuck fool wears the kind that go over your head anymore. But at least the headband kind were adjustable. These round-the-back earphones were clearly designed for people who have no hair, because the earpieces barely reach my ears if I put them over my hair. If I put the band part under my hair, the hair pushes down on the phones and they make my ears hurt. And then there's their vise-like grip. It's like a vise!


We got about five inches of snow yesterday, and for the moment, it's quite pretty. I very nearly got in an accident leaving work, but all's well that ends well on that end. I hear you're getting A LOT of snow. Hope it's pretty and not too cold!

yer not spoiled. you are just blessed with a bounty of hair.

bad headphones make a stress-releasing activity uber stressful. and things that do that are bad.

sorry to not get back to you about the snow -- i left ny fri afternoon very hungover (we had some light to medium snow fall that day, i think), and got back this evening. heard we got hit some, but that's all i know.

I'll probably just get over my big head thing. The groovy thing about the behind-the-head ones is that when my hair is down, nobody can see them at all, so I can just ignore everybody and they don't even know I'm doing it.
