OK. So, I'm in a fairly giddy mood at the moment. The reason? Well ... it's pretty ... silly. OK. It's really silly.
I don't think I ever posted before about how much I hate the headphone that goes with my cell phone. I have one of those Razer phones, and it uses a bluetooth connection. At the time we purchased the phones, there was a special deal where you got a bluetooth headphone with it for free. And, this isn't some kind of cheesy, cheap-o headphone. I mean, it's a good, well-known brand, and a model that was rated fairly well on various tech sites. But, here's the thing ... that headphone is the devil.
That's right. The devil. I kid you not. I had nothing but problems with it from the get-go. It worked fine as long as it was connected to the phone, so no problems there. But, the darn thing would NOT turn off. My husband had the same kind of headphone, and his seemed to work fine. Mine ... no. I followed all the directions in the manual with regard to turning it off ... I even had my husband follow the directions and turn the thing off, just to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. I mean, it seems simple, right? You just turn the thing off, but ... just in case. Anyhow, no go. When my hubby turned it off, the headphone remained off for a few minutes, and, then, it turns back on. When I tried to turn it off, it didn't even "pretend" to be off. Just kept right on blinking away, as if I hadn't ever turned it off at all. Even this wouldn't be so bad. I mean, I knew the thing was haunted ... or ... whatever. So, I could work around that. I could just deal with it being on all the time. But, it ate batteries like you would not believe. Seemed like I was changing the batteries on the darn thing every two days or so because it wouldn't turn off.
Yeah. Total techno frustration meltdown.
Finally, my hubby, being the kind and generous provider that he is, took pity on me. He ordered a new headphone -- same brand, but a different model. In his words: "Even you should be able to turn this one off." Uh ... thanks, sweetie ... I think. >.O
At any rate, the new headphone arrived yesterday. YAY! And, it seems to work really well. But, more importantly -- it turns off when I tell it to. Ah ... an electronic gadget that does what I ask. I like it so much. *happeh sigh*
Along with being a happy camper over the new headphone, which, I admit, is a pretty nerdy thing to be all "whee" over *grin*, I made a small cel gallery update today. Just two Saiyuki Reload genga sets.
Hakkai & Gojyo, from the "bath" episode Smexay Cowboy Hazel Yes, another nerdy reason for being happy, but ... *giggle*
And, I've added to the pages for the fic challenge game Kitt, Mystic, and I are playing. Kitt and Mysty-chan both gave permission for me to post their responses up on the website ... so, now there's a pretty complete picture of our "game" so far. We each have our own page, with the appropriate links and cross-links. *happiness vibes*
Writing Challenge GameHmmm ... otherwise, not much is going on at the moment. I started a new fic, along with the challenges and a couple of original fiction things I'm working on sporadically. So, yeah ... things are going OK. *happehness vibes*
