I think it's really just that I'm developing hyper-super-sensitive hearing (omg superpower! quick, hide me from Sylar!), because suddenly the volume on my work computer is blast-your-brains-out-your-ears loud. Normally, I have the main volume control at medium, and the iTunes volume at medium, and it's all good (except for fucking MySpace, bane of my existence, which is always too loud). But as of maybe Wednesday last week, that's waaaay too loud. I turned the main volume down to about a quarter, and the iTunes volume to almost nothing, and that's just about bearable. And I have the same old falling apart headphones, too. Wacky!

I'm kind of having the same problem on my laptop, too, but that's harder to judge, because the volume has to be so different depending on the proximity of my ears to the laptop, so it's generally all over the place.

In conclusion, I am clearly bucking the trend by not getting deafer as I get older, but getting *better* hearing. If only I could get this to work on my eyesight, too.

Ah, but remember, the deafer-as-you-get-older principle works for everything BUT music, which begins to annoy you at lower and lower volumes, because darn kids these days and their rockabye or whatever they're calling it now, get off my lawn.

Good point. After all, the OLP shows no mercy, not even to its own members.

Hmmmm, rather than write my comments from now on I'll just speak my comments outloud. Just tune your mutant hearing powers in on me.

I shall direct my ears towards Ottawa post haste.

Watch out for this week's Savage Love podcast. Dan's a bit shouty. Hee! I love him.

Hee! I will listen with cursor on volume control. :D

Are you on MySpace?

[listersgirl]

Nooooo. But it seems like every band is replacing their useful, informative webpage with a MySpace page that says nothing, thus being annoying *and* loud, all in one fell swoop.

I'm a cranky old lady, it's true.
