Dusty Chalk

Oh. :|

And even then, not in public. I'm just not a PDA kind of guy.

No, it's pretty much after the fact -- I can feel the build-up of wax, and can predict that when I finally use a Q-tip, it will be "productive". And I hardly use IEM's, so I doubt it's that, either. I'll try to monitor myself more closely, see if there's something else going on -- maybe when my allergies are exacerbated, my ears itch, and I itch them, or something like that. Or perhaps it's the dusty environment.

Sweet. My next car is going to be an A1.

You bought an Audi?

Okay, that was awesome. Thanks, man.

Licking isn't oil and contains digestive enzymes -- you sure that's a good idea? From what little I could glean from google, I'm not sure if it's "drying out" and becoming brittle, or impurities in the foam are rusting. Wouldn't mind knowing the science behind it, seriously. Thanks to all the crap addicts for providing zero to no useful information.

I didn't do nuthin'.

We need horn-based headphones.

No, I think it's still wax, but the ear discharge seems to increase when I'm particularly suffering from allergies, I.E. nasal discharge. In other words, the two seem to go hand in hand, when one increases, so does the other, etc. Does that make sense, medically? PS I just cleaned my ears with a q-tip.

(whimper) I'm having some leftover Chinese.

When I have a sinus infection, it'll get that dirty in less than a day. Although I'm not sure what you mean by "that dirty" -- it has more to do with consistency than anything else.

So fondling it and depositing my juices on it actually is the answer? Yeezh.

"not"? or "hot"?

Killing people doesn't do much for his bottom line.

That only helps the Grado drivers, though, not the screens nor the impact foam used in carrying cases. Unless you regularly fondle the foam in your carrying cases. Which I don't.

Old wives' tales.

Yeah, I'm hoping not the melty kind.

Dammit! But it's the 20th, that's good enough for me.

Nice -- throw a double-sided spanner into the works. Or maybe the better analogy would be to throw two consecutive spanners...

I have no idea, honestly, the Behringer is "tight". Also, (a) it's not necessarily one piece of gear -- other things they've done are blatant rip-offs of particular gear -- their mixers, for example -- but they might have reduced it down to what it is today, and truth be told, it might be an evolution from something else (their feedback killer comes to mind). ( That other piece of gear might not even be around any more -- you kind of had to be on top of things at the time to know for sure, and I wasn't. It's been around forever, so it'd have to be a long time ago.

Happy Birthday! (It's no longer early.)

Nosound, Lightdark -- this is actually a pretty brilliant album. It's Burning Shed, and reminiscent of early Porcupine Tree at their most ambient, with progressive touches. Italian, I believe.
