Perfect setting for your iTunes Equalizer

scumblr: beverlyhasablog: Oh my gosh this is amazing. My music sound so much clearer. Edit: This doesn’t sound too great with my heavier songs. The sound blurs together a bit. jayrobinson: If you’re look for the perfect setting for your iTunes Equalizer, look no further. Set it to Manual to calibrate, then “Make Preset…” once you’re done. db +3, +6, +9, +7, +6, +5, +7, +9, +11, +8 db

staceycoleman:

It’s 10:30 and my co-workers just realized that I’m here. I’ve been here since 9 and one of them came into my office and said “oh, you’re here. How long have you been here?”

That’s a good feeling.

oh, in know that feeling… though, for me, sometimes it’s mid afternoon before they realize i’m in the office… happy, happy, joy, joy… & pass me another beer…

just got flipped off by a complete stranger while i ate special a at the guad… welcome to america’s happiest city… fugitaboutit…

//

that being said… i think i’ll head off to lunch with the biggest book of poetry i can find within reach…

//

i love the smell of spreadsheets in the morning…

//

after a weekend diet from sns, i’ve plugged into the matrix… i’ve missed so much & yet i’ve missed so little…

Field notes

// spent the day in the garden until the rain ceased garden work… attended a going away party (far too many people are moving away)…

//

oh, insomnia, thanks for putting the recent issue of the american poetry review in my mailbox today-gives me something to read at 1am…

// she says, ‘most people don’t want to think & when you challenge their ideas they take it personally.’ i say, ‘what does that make me?’

// at lunch, coworker says i’m anti-everything… i’m not anti-everything, i’m just not a lemming… & i need to work on my people skills…

//

it’s raining… pouring, actually… really pouring… with thunder & lightning…

//

did i mention the waitress at fiddlin pig did not call me ‘honey’ or ‘darlin?’ today she called me ‘baby…’ yes, i’ll have another coke…

//

a line from pound comes to mind, ‘you ought rather to rule than serve…’ in context it has many meanings… i’m still unpacking them…

//

coworker just dropped off a stack of books by cynthia rylant for the kidlingers… the illustrations are great…
