rhymeThe second pair of new headphones got in today. ♥
They're both audio technica- one's a kind of cheap portable pair and the other is a pair of studio headphones. (It had a 1/8" plug with 1/4" adapter- I checked!) The portable one fits a bit more tightly than I expected, but the design makes sense and the tightness translates into lovely closed sound. It looks much more teal than I had originally thought, although I wouldn't say that it's a drawback. The non portable pair is very comfortable and sounds awesome and I could wear it all night, except for the fact that I am a little afraid sleep in it. I actually wanted Koss portapros, but THE FUCKING RETAILER WOULDN'T FUCKING SHIP TO ME. But this one is super comfortable, and that's what we're looking for.)
(Mom also got her HD video camera last night. We chose it because out of the two things we actually wanted on the awards list, that one was the most expensive. The other choice was an ipod nano, but really, kid brother doesn't need that many gigs of music. I should probably give him my old ipod, but I haven't gotten around to loading the new one.
(The new camera is eggplant. HILARIOUS....actually, it was so dark it's easily mistaken for black, which is a rather fetching color. Now the true test is whether she figures out how to use it, but I bet she's more likely to figure out a camera with minimal help than an ipod.)
Also, my accomplishment today was a level up in phone tree navigation. (One of the operators I spoke with said I sounded like a little girl.)
The major lesson that comes out of all of this is that sometimes the best way to navigate a phone tree is to not follow the directions. That is because sometimes the people who design the phone tree are idiots who do not know what you are calling about. Also, the ones that have auto detect for numbers are hilarious and by hilarious, I mean somewhat iffy.
