technology and life

Okay, this is just a rant and really doesn't have anything to do with our class. It does involve technology, though. Yesterday afternoon, I got my right tragus pierced. That's the cartilage flap covering the opening to your ear. Well, it hurt. But here's the important part: I can't wear earphones! Being the clever, devoted music-lover that I am, I improvised. I have another set of earphones that have a special design so that they go over my ear and hold on. So the left one is fine, and the right one is strategically balanced so that I can still hear the music, but it's not hurting my tender ear. Sometimes I use my sunglasses to hold it in place. It probably looks ridiculous, but I really don't mind what people think of me enough to do something about it. I started writing up a real post for this, but it's not finished, and now thanks to today's class, I have a few sites to check out instead of actually working. As if I needed something else to distract me. I guess I'll post that tomorrow...
