    hmm, those do look pretty good, and the reviews seem generally positive (plus people reporitng having used them for 5+ years - i've never had a pair last more than 1)

    and an endorsement from Anti, The Musicmaster, as well!

    i will look into them. thanks!

    They are good headphones, you will really like them. Unlike earbuds, the sound quality doesn't end up hurting my ears; I can listen to music for hours before I feel discomfort (couldn't do that with earbuds).

    I have had them two years now.

    I'm wearing them right now; I am not listening to anything, they are just so darn comfy. Note that I probably have a smaller head though :9

    it will probably be nice to not have silicone jammed against my eardrums and have to wiggle them around and adjust them for five minutes when i put them on!

    well you post song lyrics all the time and your title/location involve music, so surely you must be the SE++ authority on all things aural!

    I do hate when you apologize because you have to and don't mean it.

    I have to do one of those soon. I hate making nice.

    It reminds me of when I was in elementary school and someone forced me to be friends with another kid. I wasn't being mean to her but I didn't think I should be forced to make nice to her when I didn't like her.

    I try not to do that to kids at my job. It's well-known to be a poor idea, anyway, so I usually tell kids that if they can't get along, then stay away from each other or so help me I'll get pissy.

    That I don't have a problem with. I was perfectly willing to follow the "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all" idea. Even in second grade.


    But no. Jerks.

    I could not be more in love with spring break. Got home from college at around 3 p.m. Immediately started watching cartoons on Netflix and drinking some beer & eating pizza. Took a nap to round it all off.

    Today was the first really spring break-y day of spring break. Spent 6 hours down at the river, had family dinner with friends, then 4 hours shooting the shit on the porch and enjoying the weather.

    I feel kind of bad about doing my group's assignment by myself instead. I feel like I probably should have given my teammate more time to reply to my emails but I can't be bothered leaving this to the last minute. Due Wednesday 9am and I'm not going to be doing any of it tomorrow on Sunday along with getting home at 7pm Monday and Tuesday.

    I think I'm going to barter with the lecturer to see if I can get out of working in a team for these labs. It takes me less effort to complete them alone than it does for me to contact someone else, split the workload and then wait on them to complete their sections so I can complete mine.

    I am going to offer to make myself available to help other students at set times during the week for this class as I feel the only point of these teams are to help the weaker students out through the semester and I may not be helping them by doing the work myself. I don't feel like spending an equal amount of time just correcting their work after having to wait for it though. Students who have previously failed the unit are not meant to work in teams (I don't fall into this category) so I should be able to swing it. The lecturer is quite reasonable.

    Usually group work is group work for a reason. That is to say the work place has a lot of a person to person interaction and having that skill is a good thing for employment
