One Pair of Headphones.

Like most of the world, I love music.

And I also love playing music (This is my very old Roland keyboard. It’s about as old as I am, but it works. I enjoy it).

I also love having quality audio equipment to play and listen to music with, having the knowledge that they will last a long time.

Enter: my new babies. The Audio Technica ATHM40FS Precision STudio Headphones.

These things are *nice*. And Amazon.com has an amazing price for them. I had to purchase a 1/8 (3.5mm jack) to 1/4 stereo adapter, but that was chump change in comparison. I know these things are for mixing, recording, and monitoring. But they’re amazing for personal playback (listening to your CDs), too. And, now I have a pair of professional studio headphones, if I ever decide to tinker around with music production. These only come to work with me or they stay at home.

The sound is crystal clear. As my boyfriend described it, it’s like being at a concert. These headphones are very balanced. They allow the listener to hear the music how the artist originally intended it, and are comfortable enough for long term wear. They also produce a lot of sound at lower volumes, so there is no risk of hearing loss or deprivation of music enjoyment.

The only thing I’d possibly do now is customize it so it’s artsy and unique. I don’t even know where to begin, though. Any ideas?

Muse. Lack of Posts.

Tuesday, I went to a large venue to see a popular rock band. In a word: I saw Muse for the first time. I went with my mother and my best friend (Joe). It was perhaps one of the best concert experiences I’ve had. I am without make-up because I was at a sweaty rock show with elbows in my face, sweaty people, and you know, I don’t need make-up. It’s fun and expressive, but it’s just not always me. Passion Pit opened. I enjoy Passion Pit as background music and just mellow listening music, so it was fun. They just aren’t quite a Muse opener. And, the pot-smoking teenagers a couple rows ahead of us almost ruined the collective experience. (Joe, Mom and I were of the opinion that if you insist on lighting up at a public event, do it outside during breaks and before the show. However, their imbibing of a substance wasn’t what really bothered us, we simply didn’t like their rowdy, unnecessary behavior. We’re grumpy old people).

Cleavage shirt had a bra. Cleavage shirt is always much farther down than I remember. And now, a photo spread of the show:

They ended it with Knights of Cydonia and lots of steam. It was a wonderful show. I didn’t know every song played, but it was still a lot of fun. We all really enjoyed ourselves.

All photos of the Sacramento Muse concert are by Joe, because I totally forgot my camera.

Halfway through this week, I was planning on writing this post up. And then, I was planning on posting drawings from Thursday life drawing. That didn’t happen. Why?

That happened (on Wednesday). This car is old enough now that we’re pretty sure it’s totaled. I was really bummed out afterward on Thursday, so I went to class and work, but stayed home otherwise.

Friday, I had a fashion show. That will be a post all its own.

Today, I have a hot date and a game later.

Cíao!
