I woke up with a raging headache this morning. It's not a migraine (thank goodness) but I'm trying to figure out if I should I venture out into the world or if I'm going to stay in my little shell today. Tomorrow it's back to work and I'm having a hard time facing that reality.
The last couple of months I've been looking for a tiny (bookshelf) radio system that can play CDs. I have loads of CDs that I'm no longer uploading into my crappy laptops. I found one that was perfect. I ordered it, played one and a half CD and then it stopped working. That's right, one CD and then with the next CD the spinning mechanism of the machine became louder than the music playing. It paused on its own and stopped working altogether. USA made product. Of course, it's a piece of s***t. I sent it back.
The next thing I ordered was a speaker. My bright idea was I could hook up my external CD drive to it, plug in and play. Brilliant right? I took out the speaker from the box and read the poorly written instruction (China made product). I discovered it doesn't have it's own power supply (nothing to plug in). It's on a 5v lithium battery so it doesn't have enough juice to power the external CD drive. Argh! Foiled again.
At this point, I may go really old school and buy a car radio that plays CDs and hook that up to speakers. Haha!
The whole point of this exercise was to get a small radio that I could play my CDs by my bedside. That's all I wanted. I may go back and see if I can find an alarm clock radio that plays CDs. The problem with that option is the speaker quality is usually pretty tinny. Nothing ruins a song more than bad speakers.
The dream for me is to have a wireless sound system that plays in every room. High end sound system like Bang & Olufsen or even Bose. Imagine what Christina Aguilera's song Bound to You would sound like out of those speakers. * sigh * I won't do it until I own my apartment. There is just no point going through the expense for a place that I will probably leave in the next year. Bah!
As I sit here writing this blog entry, I'm trying to figure out if I'm going out. I'm on the fence. If I go out, I don't want to spend any cash. But if I go out, cash will be spent. hmmm...this how I teeter from one decision to another. I'm going to make my bed, sort my laundry and then make a decision. Wish me luck. L~
