Ear wax... Can I just say I'm not a fan of the stuff? I've got a nice pair of Sony 'in-ear' headphones - the $40 ones (I think they're Sony MDR-EX51LP's - Amazon has them for $25.). The best sound so far from any of my iPods. (Sure I could get much better ones but I had a coupon and one of those Best Buy Rewards credit things). But they collect ear wax and every couple of weeks I need to clean them. Yuck! I don't wear them at work. I have a worn out pair of 'over the ear' headphones (Sony also - MDR-V150's ) that I need to replace. I've tried the 'ear-clip' style but haven't found a pair of those I like. The nose-cancellation earphones are interesting but I don't really want to pay $100 or more for them. Maybe if I started spending more time in airports/planes again I would. 4:07:02 PM    Notes [] Hmm... Okay, I posted the prologue to 'Runaway' to TtH (but nowhere else). Originally it was the middle of the story but it worked better as a beginning. Then we'll drop back a couple months to show how Willow ended up in Minnesota. And then forward from there. This bit has gotten the highest response/review count vs. hits of any of my stories on TtH in the first 24 hours it was up. I've got stories that have been on TtH for several years with less reviews. Of course, that could be because it's a Stargate crossover and the main character (more or less) is Willow (Well... it's ABOUT her. But it'll include other characters like her slayer sidekick Buffy and a few folks from SGC (Jack, Sam, Janet, and Cassie at least)). I'll probably switch the POV back and forth between a few characters. Jack for the prologue, Buffy for the first chapter, Willow some time after that. Not sure who else. The first chapter is nothing like the prologue... I'm curious to see what the reaction to it'll be (based on I'm not sure they'll expect the kind of story this'll be. Even with the warnings.) 3:53:29 PM    Notes []
