Am I the only one who can't resist buying a book every time I go into a bookstore? I am almost compelled to buy a book whenever I walk into a bookstore, or else I feel like something is not complete. And sometimes I would buy books which I already have, but simply because I have an urge to read it but don't have it with me at my current location, and not to mention various different translations of the same work. Make no mistake, I read all the books that I buy, but because of this compulsion, I've built up a huge library, scattered in my college apartment and my parents' house. And I'm one of those people who doesn't have the heart to get rid of books, so every t…

Happy Birthday Mike!

This girl made friends with me on myspace because we had similar interests and we wrote back and forth for a couple of weeks. After a while I began to see that she was more than a little crazy and started backing off. She then wanted to come and visit me and that's when I got out it entirely. I told her that she was too chaotic for me and we needed to stop talking. That was about a month ago. I just got two phone calls from friends that said that she had written crazy harassing messages to them. They were both on my myspace friends list and I now have no idea how many of these letters she sent out. I wrote everyone explaining the situation. My question to you guys is …

I have a slight Tinnitus in my right ear, that is the result of having my eardrum ruptured. BTW: having an ear drum torn sucks. Music was distorted for me for about two years, and I still dont have perfect bass response in that ear, I believe from the presence of scar tissue. The ring I have I only get when its silent around me. For example, right now I am in my cube at work (where it is quiet to begin with) and I have my er6i in , with nothign playing. I can hear the ringing in my right ear now, and only slightly if I take the etys out. My left ear has a normal amount of background noise. Is there anyhting I can do for this? It's really not that bad, but sometimes…

Happy Birthday Marshall!

Yikes!!! Been looking at the thread on Head-Fi

So I was writing a review of a new pen I bought over at the Fountain Pen Network, and the wood colored ebonite inspired me to take some pics of it in juxtaposition to my RS-1. I thought I'd share. Kind of a pipe dream, but it would be cool to see ebonite used in a headphone design, even though it would be both pointless and impractical. The pen is a Bexley Deluxe II in Antique Cream.

I grabbed my SNES and some games from my parents house this weekend. Time for some old school bedroom gaming And now time to kill innocent bunnies

It's PFK day! Happy birthday George!

After a too soon Happy Birthday greeting here is to you Earl.Happy Birthday,were lucky to have someone like you around.

When is this movie coming out in the U.S.? I can't wait so I can complain that it's not showing within 100 miles of Olympia washington.

I'd love to be a part of something like that if it exists but does it? I tried a google search but came up with zilch. do you know of anything?

I just had to re-install windows after a harddrive failure (thank christ I had my music backed up on another drive). I really don't want to set foobar up again. I'd like to steal your components folder and any other file I'd need to have your setup. All I am looking for is and setup were the music is organized by artist and album I don't care about anything else. It would be nice it it looked pretty but I just want foobar back. Thanks, aaron. It was about a year ago that I looked everything up and got it just how I like it but now I've forgotten everything and really don't want to go through that again. P.S. it can be sent to my gmail address which is; aaronco…

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW5uO3P6Pwo]YouTube video[/ame] -- anyone here know any of these people...or perhaps are in the video yourselves?

I have no idea why, I sure didn't do anything, but my cellphone is doing the weirdest stuff. The screen is flashing, it won't recieve service, and when I press a button, it makes a weird "shock" sound. It's like a Packard Bell computer without the huge tower. :'( Even sadder is this is the 3rd replacement in one year. Damn phone.

Finals start tomorrow and I need something to do after I finish to keep me from going crazy. Where the hell did you guys put my ipod? MJG!!!!

It is for me.

Apparently this e-mail is fake, pretty interesting and I give the person who made this props. Very realistic.

Guess what I'm eating right now? A churro -- my first ever. Baja Fresh started selling them, for those who don't know what they're missing (like me did...erm, like I did...n't...).

Just thought you guys would get a kick out of this thread over on Stereophiles forums. http://forum.stereophile.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=21972&an=0&page=0&gonew=1#UNREAD

Anyone? Season three has been oddly disappointing save for a few episodes.

I'm planning on receiving a package from overseas. I've received packages from Europe in the past, and never been charged anything (UPS/EMS just drops it off). But I want to be certain as it's a high dollar item and will be insured (thus having its real value on the package). I thought I'd ask here before I called US Customs. Pretty sure this doesn't mean anything but we have no state sales tax. Thanks guys.
