So, on my list of acquisitions to replace my broken dejected electronic equipment are two things that I've researched and loved to death: the iriver U10 (when it comes out in February, it will have a significantly bigger capacity) and the Shure E3 headphones with a pair of Sensaphonics custom silicone earpieces. And I realize they might look like hearing aids, but really I could care less; 26Dbs of sound isolation plus the sound of Shures? there's absolutely no contest. Besides, I can get colors for the plugs too, so I'll probably get something super exciting (like orange and red) or something super boring so that when I'm in my ultra-conservative law firm on the Street, I won't get stares from my co-workers.

I'm also going through the inanely time consuming process of perhaps taking my MP3 collection and replacing all the low-bitrate versions of the songs. For Free. On Limewire. On another note, I would have to say: I downloaded a MASSIVE 9Mb version of Mariah Carey's "Don't Forget About Us" and it's fucking incredible in terms of musicality and depth. It's indistinguishable from the album version. It's also massive and i'm not sure I'd be too happy with the doubling of every single song size wise. I also turned my PSP into a remote control for itunes yesterday (suuuuper cool so I can sit on my futon and change songs). All the while I should actually be studying for exams and the like. What a party. I have two left today, then I can concentrate on revelling in the ecstasy the lyrics "Late nights, playing in the dark, waking up inside my arms..." bring me in all their Hi-Def glory.

Speaking of which, I will call the boy and disturb him at school today.
