I was going to rant about vampires, werewolves, the Satan, and other tired horror tropes, but I think everyone is actually tired of them. Except maybe tweens and fans of Insane Clown Posse.

These Skull Candy earphones are working out very nicely indeed for the... I think I paid around ten bucks for them because they were on sale. Earphone technology has indeed advanced!

The great thing about these is so far, they have mostly stayed in my ears. Also, you have to jam them into your ears, so they block out ambient noise to a certain extent! Now with music playing, coworkers coughing and talking about their children is merely a pleasant background buzz. And because they're in your ears, it feels like the music is actually IN YOUR BRAIN (which is actually kind of weird, and I hope I'm not getting brain and/or hearing loss). It is nice to hear the Sore Feet Song humming in your brain, though. I mean the TV edit, not the full-length version, which apparently includes FIGHTING BEARS

FIGHTING BEARS

Ginko will now show you the awesome martial arts training he received from FIGHTING BEARS.

Even better, I found these at an FYE after a pushy Radioshack employee confronted me in front of his earphone section for looking at the earphones for "a WHILE now." (It was two minutes; I had not yet even gone through the entire section). He tried to get me $40 sports clip earphones, which I believe I mentioned not only DON'T WORK (seriously, have you ever tried to really run with an iPod? Not recommended), but hurt my ears after a while.

I really don't like pushy salespeople. Not only do they jump on you when you enter a store, they're nowhere to be found when you actually DO need help five minutes later in the checkout line or when you want to know why Professor Layton isn't here even though it's the release date. It must be a SALESPOWER.

Earphones and my giant monstrous head

My head is too big. )
