poddity

Random moment of techno-cultural amusement this morning: walking back from my lectures (45 minutes of spirited debate on whether sex is actually real), there were three muscular black students, male, be-ear-ringed and very sharply dressed, leaning against a wall in the sun, heads close together, passing between them the earphones from an IPod, and laughing so hard they nearly fell over. I'd love to know what they were listening to.

Which reminds me. Either there are tricks and techniques to earphones that are beyond my mere mortal ken, or I've been born with deformed and defective ears. I cannot get my wretched IPod earphones to stay put during gym sessions. Any suggestions, short of superglue or nine-inch nails, gratefully received.

Also, happy anniversary to those Old Wedded Folks, jo&stv.
