HOLY COW.

I didn't realize how deaf I was.

I just picked up a set of $30 headphones that have a bit more oomph to them, popped in a video from my "Adrenaline" playlist that I use to get myself prepped before writing a fight sequence, and...

EARS FLAT AGAINST SKULL.

My eyeballs are rolling around a bit, I think. Is this what the world sounds like to most of you?!!!

Good grief.

I now have to play all my games again with these headphones. I do have stereo speakers, but by the time the sound reaches my ears, it's a bit muddy. I have to use subtitles when watching most movies to understand the more softspoken lines.

Hee! Did you ever see the remake of the Stepford Wives? When Bette Midler picks up the discarded t-shirt featuring Viggo and sadly asks, "Viggo?!"? God, I swear I've got the weirdest memory for stuff that just doesn't matter. You said "Viggo", I thought "Viggo?!", and now I'm blabbering. Bad movie, funny scene.

Anyway! I dated a hot little bartender in college. I'm beginning to think all of those hours in that club messed up my hearing a bit, though it might also be because she was a very loud, very creative curser. Never had trouble with my hearing until I dated her and now I have to worry about what might happen every time I go to a concert or out with my friends to dance. Kinda frustrating.
