earbud kama sutra
they're at it again. like damned rabbits.the ipod that i received for my birthday has brought me much joy and much rocking. it makes the weird noises on the t fade away behind a curtain of mile davis, cancels out the huzz of fluorescent bulbs at the library with toe-thumping progressive rock, and dampens the screams of tiny children in the supermarket--substituting them for the lilt of bob marley. there is one thing about my little device that disturbs me.
earbuds.
day after day i wind them carefully around my ipod or fold them neatly into my bag, and every time i take them out or pick it up they've managed to entwine themselves inextricably. they wind around eachother in ways unthinkable; they creat knots and weaves and kinks. i could put the ipod down on a table for 10 minutes, pick it up, and they've entangled themselves like starved lovers. it would take less time to pry apart tommy lee and pam than it takes to finagle apart these tiny nymphophones. they are mad about each other.
they will be separated and in my ears for the 8 hour bus/train trip down to philadelphia tonight. they will pine for each other from midnight until breakfast time, and once i put them away i may never untie the loveknot that they will manage.

LOL, great post. Mine did it, too, until the cord finally broke. I use some cheap Sony earbuds now, and they do the same thing. :/
I'm glad I have a black cord now. Did you see the article in today's Metro?
T to tackle iPod thefts: "T police are urging riders not to wear the iPod's distinctive white earphones, which immediately tip off would-be thieves to the fact that the person is carrying a $100-$400 gadget." Apparently there has been a rash of iPod thefts in NYC, and 5 on the T since January. So be careful!
