Sex for my ears. Holy fuck.
Update: Tindersticks is amazing. Simply amazing. These cans are amazing.
Alright, this morning I was under 160lbs. Yesterday I was at 155lbs. I’m not sure how I’m sustaining that sub 160 weight and growing muscle, but wtf; I’m not gonna question it hah. The small belly is disappearing quickly. I’ve rediscovered my rib cage. It’s freakishly wide for my frame, which helps with lung capacity but makes me look kinda; too thin?
My left arm is starting to look normal again. The bicep is coming back, but still pathetically weak. My rotator cuff muscles are bouncing back well. I need to do pull ups but I don’t think the shoulder could sustain a full set without possibly; uh, ripping in a bad way.
I’ll be very happy once I can pull up my usual weight because my neck/shoulder area looks weird to me right now. Now I focus on the difference in shape, since I can move my arm with almost no pain. Shallow much? hah.
I mentioned to Chris the other night that compared to almost everyone I know; virtually no one should be complaining to me in the future about pain unless they go through child birth of pass kidney stones. Chris is obviously immune to this pain comparison; ’cause man that guy pisses stones.
I was in for touch ups today. A booking error caused me to wait roughly an hour which sucked, but well it just sucked. Martin decided to fix every letter, which made me happy because I think they all needed a little love.
So, the tats look great; as usual after they’ve just been done. I’m hoping the ink takes this time, otherwise I’ll be getting another set of touch ups near the end of December when I go in for my (top of) right hand. I can’t wait for that one!
After much net searching, I’ve come to the conclusion that headphone burn in is another audiophile myth created out of misapplied logic and lack of understanding, and of course; no scientific proof. The final decision was helped by Tom Nousaine, who has a pretty strong career in reviewing and I trust based on his work for various publications.
So, after deciding I won’t have em hooked up to an amp for a few days playing various tones I plugged em into my cmoy; here at work and have been listening to the net stream of Howard Stern’s show on Sirius. It’s low quality audio, and it sounds pretty fucking good. The highs are much crisper compared to the shitty Sony headphones I was using.
I think I’ll take these home on the weekend to try on my Cayin amp.
Right before we left for lunch at the office, a courier dropped off the box with the cans. Much love lady, who I don’t know; you’ve made my day better!
I have some kind of head cold symptoms making my day shit. I’m hoping they go away before it’s gym time, otherwise I’m in for a world of hurt.
Today I moved everything over to the new tank. I’m not sure if I’ll need to put a bigger skimmer on yet. I ordered a hang on back refuge, which I’ll use to grow more caulerpa racemosa.
So, after work yesterday I hit the gym for an hour and met a guy that had just moved into one of the buildings. He invited me to a party at his place today. I might check that out but I’m thinking I’ll probably pass because last night kicked ass and it was looooooooong.
I went over to Chris’ around 7, smoked a few and watched the first period of the Toronto game. I left during the first intermission so I could get ready to go to the Townehouse and get my drink on with Leah and peeps. I got there around 10, started with a draught and ran into Leah shortly after that. Her friends showed up a little while later and we needed a place to sit. I grabbed a few tables and chairs, we put em together and BOOM we had a good part of the area by the pool tables. Leah’s friends brought friends and they were pretty hot. They sat by Dave and I, and chatted us up. It was pretty sweet, one of em eventually asked if I wanted to go outside and smoke a joint; so I was all over that.
When I got the first pitcher some random group of girls kinda blocked me and one started a hilarious conversation. She was trying to pick me up; and it would’ve worked if she was uh, a little prettier in the face? Harsh maybe, but I gotta keep my wits in the that place hahaha.
Eventually we had to leave, it was after last call. The girls said they’d give me a lift home and I’d be getting dropped off by the hottest one. Woot. Leah then reminded me that I had offered to smoke her up after the bar and she wanted to talk, so I passed on the ride. Sigh.
We were up until around 5 talking, smoking and listening to tunes. It was a lot fun. I called Jenz and left a drunk message. I don’t really remember it. She called back a little bit later and was really drunk too. Hah.
I gotta take the ride next time.
I went to lunch with Chris and we ate at a restaurant close to the office. I paid ’cause he got lunch the day before, except it wasn’t quite in the same price range so he canceled a tiny amount of debt to compensate. Nice nice. Our waitress was hot, and seemed a little sassy so I asked for her number when I paid. She did the girly giggle and said she was going on a trip next week so there was no point, so I said we could go for a drink before she leaves. She said to leave my number on the table so I did.
Back in the game!
She didn’t call, but really .. who would in that situation? Hah. I dropped the DBZ tapes Chantel had gotten from her brother off with Jay, for his students to have. A few love DBZ, so it was the perfect place for them to go. We went to one of the malls because he needed to get a gift for a student, and I wanted to get a new shorter talon for my labret. I dragged him into a West49 (shutter) and quickly picked out a new black hat ’cause my baby is worn out and kinda gross now. We got some food and laughed over the shit we used to do and he told me about some of the fun he deals with at work.
It was a pretty good night. I picked up a Social D album I didn’t have to cap it off.
I picked up my dac cable from the post office before going to work this morning. I just plugged it in, and was pleasantly surprised to see windows automatically use it for the output. The quality is way beyond any sound card I’ve heard, and I’ve had a few just for music.
Paired with the cmoy amp, this is the best audio purchase I’ve ever made at the $60 price point ($30 each). I wish Headstage had a dac cable with rca outputs so I could hook my home pc up to my Cayin MT-35 amp cleanly.
