2+2=5...

I got my new headphones today, the Etymotics Research 6i. First, I can't hear myself typing, nor the construction work outside, and I am listening to soft Bach on the LOWEST volume setting on my iPod. I first used them to listen to a bit of everything, but when I put Hail to the Thief on, I fell into a trance -- I heard bits of 2+2=5 that I've never noticed -- the whole intro has new meaning for me. I cannot wait to use these while... well, let's say, in a relaxed state induced by something else.

In other knews, there is a condom dispenser in one of the CS buildings which ate a quid of mine today, I'll get one of these eventually, but proof that they exist: |===>

Sorry if that link was too graphic for some of you, but I couldn't resist!

--- now from the last few days ---

Tuesday:
I had a pretty fine day; bought an amazing jacket for dirt cheap, and got a pair of fingerless gloves which ive been looking for since i lost one glove of my last pair in 11th grade fingerless gloves are great for typing; frankly though... more importantly... when your hands are cold and you're walking and listening to the iPod, you need fingers to control the damn thing.

Wednesday:
This is unhealthy: I was checking email, right before going to work, and I got mail from sourceforge, normally I delete but I've become interested in possibly working on a project in a few weeks, so I read it and came across a link I thought my friend should have; I went to his web page and clicked his email, and outlook came up -- ew! so I spetnt 30 minutes researching how to setup gmail as my def. mail client, got it going, clicked the link, emailed him... so the recursion is unrolling... and now I am back to finishing the sourceforge email. Hopefully nothing else strikes my fancy.

"Do not drive whilst using this product."

Three things:

1) Whilst?

2) I'm not sure it's you who shouldn't be driving.

3) Are they tartan?

btw, your pictures are absolutely gorgeous (the landscape/architecture ones, I mean *grins*).

Biddee cocktail went well. I'm learning how to be a bartender. w00t.

And I'm sorry the condom machine ate your money, but if you don't come back to Providence with whiskey-flavored condoms, I will be distraught.
