I am blogging this from the safety of my fort

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce my headphones. They may need quite a bit of explanation.



They are a $50 Sony silicon ear-bud (in my size!!!) noise-canceling little number I bought last semester to replace the iPod built-in headphones that I had dyed and destroyed. As you can see, they have fared about as well as their predecessors. The covering for the wires has long since disentigrated, they are many lovely shades of purple, and there are bits of tape clinging to what remains of them. And despite their ghetto appearance, they still play just fine.

How did they come to this, you might ask? Well, let me explain, in case me being the owner isn't enough of a tip-off for you. I listen to music constantly. I sleep with headphones in, which is the cause of most of the wear-and-tear. Most anything would look like that if it had spent half the night rolled around your neck/bunched into a ball and under your back. I am resigned to spending what breaks down to ~10$ a month to keep myself in nice, comfy earphones that cancel noise. They make me go to sleep faster and make me less livid at Asian Art.

Now I'm basically waiting until they die, just to see how much longer they can go. Wish them luck.

I wonder if coating them with epoxy spray would be a good idea...
