aseThe best thing about Wednesdays is that they end.
This week I finally got new headphones. My Koss KSC75's bit the dust after about nine months of heavy use. I killed the uncomfortable backup earbuds in ten days while angsting over replacement headphones. I ultimately blew an Amazon giftcard on Sennheiser HD201's and bought new KSC75's as backups. The HD201's are big fat DJ headphones, with enough padding to cut background noise, but they don't play nicely with earrings, and are driving me subtly nuts because I can't hear stuff.
However, my Sansa Clip fits snugly in the HD201's headphone cups, which is nearly worth the price of admission right there.
I've had the 4 GB Clip since October, and I have mixed feelings about upgrading from the 2 GB for really petty reasons: it's easier to find the playlist of interest when there's less to pick from, and the sports case is too small for the slightly wider 4 gig clip. Actually, the second reason isn't that petty: the pressure from the fabric cover at the headphone jack keeps sliding the headphones just a bit out of contact, cutting out one ear in the processes. It makes me wonder if the old headphones really died, or just needed to be plugged in more firmly.

How does Sunday look for getting together?

Sunday is looking dicey. Would you and

We're off for ze spouse's annual spring training pilgrimage next week, & I thought it'd be cool to have music on the trip. A car adapter is also the plan, since he wants to do lots of driving.
