Life is about to get really tough for me. I’m at the thesis writing phase, and I have a few pieces of code left to run while I write the first bits. My supervisor has given me a deathline, which I shall not pass without having handed the college a nice thesis.

I’m considering plan Ω.

In the interim I have made a brave step out into the internets. Apparently, in addition to serving stolen movies and tv shows, the internet can be used for commerce - auctions, in fact. I had been aware of this fact, but had never before taken the leap.

I’m not a big person for deals, I prefer to just get things that I want, and I am reasonably happy to pay the asking price. It’s not a big thrill for me to get a lot of money off, in fact a protracted negotiation takes a lot of the fun out of it for me.

In any case, the first auction that I bid on was a new pair of noise-cancelling earbuds, the Sennheiser CX 400s. I have to say I am extremely pleased. I am not used to the eBay way - I prefer the way online merchants send you extensive messages informing you of the location of your packages. Instead I got no word from my kind internet merchant until the ‘phones arrived this morning. Still, all’s well that ends well.

The earphones themselves are excellent - they eliminate almost all noise, and I am sure with additional fiddling I could totally eliminate the outside world. This is the perfect time for doing so, as I have to write the most important document of my life over the next few months.

The bass response is excellent in the CX 400s, and I find that they make me want to keep turning the volume up because the sound is so nice - a dangerous habit. Still, this combined with listening to Ikimono Gakari should keep me on the non-violent side of insane.
