I got sidetracked earlier this week so I missed my deadline for Tuesday. Here I am now. I’ve gotten an update about my panel at LACC. I still don’t have a time and room yet but the world hasn’t ended yet…again…so, we’re still on! I’m still super excited for this, I can’t wait! I recorded something the other day but I couldn’t upload it from my phone. I need to figure out some things with the podcast stuff again. I will, ideally have time after getting home from this trip that I can sit down and put together stuff in the studio again. It’s looking like I’ll be sitting around DFW for a couple hours so after I tolerate my sister’s presence for a little bit, I’ll be working on some projects. Among them planning and notes for my panel. Maybe I’ll try and see if I can find any fellow podcasters to join me. There’ll be plenty of time to talk about that over the next month and a half or so. Right now, though, I have a couple things I want to talk about going on right now.
First, I finally broke down and got myself a set of bone inductive headphones. I’ve always been interested in getting some of these and decided earlier that now is the time. I got a pair of the OpenRun by Shokz at Costco. I put them on straight out of the box and they were great from moment one. I didn’t expect the quality of the sound to be so clear, it’s fantastic! Honestly, the sound is better than many over-ear and earbuds I’ve used over the years. I’ve been listening to podcasts so far but I’ll try out some music later. And the best part is that they don’t get greasy and gross sitting in my ears and caking in gallons of sweat. I’m really diggin’ them so far. I’m testing the limits of the battery now. While I write this and try to get to sleep before work, or maybe just before I get up extra early to go and indulge in another of my new favorite things.
There’s a place here called Hurts Donut. It’s a couple blocks away from our hotel room and we ran out to get some ice cream there. YES! The donut place has ice cream! AND colossal donuts! They have there big cookies and some of those cookies sandwiching creams as giant cookie sandwiches. But more than that…the whole staff seems to be pretty girls. Think about that. Pretty girls, ice cream, giant cookies and in turn giant cookie sandwiches, AND huge donuts!!! One of reason and logic would look on this and never dare the hubris to ask “Could this be better?” and yet, there is one more thing about this place. It’s open twenty-four hours. THAT’S RIGHT! All day, all night, in effect, always. Hurts Donut is now among my most favorite places. I’m thinking about buying one of their mugs but I don’t know how exactly I’ll be able to get it home. I’m formulating plans this moment…
