Well, I've let my hair grow out, so I really can't call it a mullet any more, but even a month ago or so, I would have said that it smells like me. And it's not so bad, I use a mildly lavender-scented shampoo.

Watches
Yeah that's one of the great (or bad, depending) things about watches -- you really can't make a bad decision. Sinn, Omega, and Panerai are all great watches. I really want a Sinn U Black myself. But I'm only just getting to the point where I'm starting to worry about the movements -- priorly, it's all been about how it looks and how durable the case is.

There was probably music.

They put on a wonderful show. I saw them twice on the previous (first) leg of the Incident tour, and they are indeed, awesome live. Every show is different. You really should see them live, especially if you like the more recent, harder material. I've never seen an entire set by them up until recently, though I've seen them live as far back as the Stupid Dream tour. And this coming from someone who is avowedly against having babies. And believe it or not, I've heard that before. Pretty sure it's a different girl, though, 'cause this one lives in 'bama. And lives with a guy she calls "Reap" -- this girl doesn't have a boyfriend she calls "Reap", does she?

Audio Technica headphone question -- closest to leatherhead?
What are you worried about, you pant(singular)less pachyderm? And in your case, you probably have two pairs of said headphones, so you should always refer to headphones in the plural.

Stereophile Review of this new thing called 'CDs', 1983
So that means you're, what? 44? Just curious, sometimes it gives us a little perspective. Not sure if you meant high school or college or what.

Apple Tablet
You guys really believe multi-tasking is on deck? For those of us who developed for the iPhone, there were constant rumors about multi-tasking being on deck, but in reality it never came, and I suspect the reason it was always backburnered was because if you wanted multi-tasking, you jailbroke your iPhone. So consider me permanently entrenched in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp. That, and the bluetooth keyboard. (Did that ever come to pass? I've stopped following.)

What did you do today?
Had a hard drive die on me yesterday (the fabu Seagate "click of death" -- no, I'm not even going to defend myself from that one, thought I updated the BIOS, didn't), spent (yesterday and) today getting my system back to where it was and me with my work back to where I was, when we had a brown-out. My UPS responded to said brown-out by doing the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do, namely, shut off all electricity to the power outlets. Permanently. double-+- Not a good week for me.

No worries, I was just playin' the contrarian. Well, no, actually, I really do like them, but the seeming acerbicity/acerbicness/acerbia of my post was playful. I would even go so far as to say that away from each other, on a really good amp (e.g. BHSE, ES-1), I'm not sure everyone would be able to tell the difference. The coloration that I heard (slight midbass hump) worked well for rock-and-roll, and is probably the one you're thinking of will go away with mods, so: spot on. Also, nothing a little EQ couldn't solve. Also: moar black (at least, the black one is).

Of course, the conversations would get a little old. "Wanna go for a walk? Okay, I'll wait here..." "Hey, wanna go out for ice cream? Okay, I'll wait here..." "Would you mind walking my dogs? I mean children? Thanks, I'll wait here..." "Beer? There's a bar downtown, I'll give you directions..."
