I've gone and joined the dark side.

After being subjected to noisy gossip from cellphonelady on the #41 bus, I was terrorized by deepbassleakingfromtheheadphonesguy behind me on the #347 bus.

I was trying (and largely failing) to write.

Enough is enough.

I bought an iPod shuffle.

But now I'm one of those people you see with headphones living in their own little bubbles, isolated from the rest of humanity.

They only come in basic white.

You can get coloured sleeves for them, ostensibly to "protect" them, but I can't be bothered enough.

So, like always, but with headphones.

I find dirty looks and aggressive body language to be an effective bubble creation technique.

Randomly shouting profanity also works, but do it at your own reflection in the window.

I almost forgot: Do your writing on scraps of paper picked from the trash and stuff them into random pockets, but not your own...

but not your own

Hmmm... going to make it a little hard to get editing done, I would think.

We loves our iPod, precious. . . . !!

But seriously: if your shuffle doesn't come with some kind of case or sleeve, it's worth while to invest in one. It's a nasty sensation when one hits the floor unprotected.

Given that I listen to NPR all the time to drown out my immediate surroundings and/or give my brain something maybe constructive to chew on, I can't fault you for doing the same. I just take off the headset when dealing with strangers. Otherwise I just turn it off as needed. Many people are preferable to broadcast, but many aren't.

Oh please!

I buy you stuff all the time. I just know how dangerous it is to do so when you're not there to supervise...

What do you think I am? An eeeediot?

The last thing? Dunno, probably a movie ticket. Possibly dinner.

It's not all about buying treats, you know.

There are holidays I don't get a card, and you are still quite properly spoiled. So this is my present to me. :P
