A couple of weeks ago the speakers on Yggdrasil (my computer) started acting funny -- the left speaker would fade out unless I tweaked the volume controls a bunch -- so while I was out shopping earlier today I bought new speakers, and not only are they crap, but one of the speakers has this annoying blue light right in the front that's so bright that it's hard to focus on the monitor. I've actually had to turn the speakers off just to be able to really work on here. The worst part is that while I was out shopping, I was thinking to myself, "Oh, I don't really need good speakers," but of course I was forgetting that I've been sampling MusicMatch Radio's new age channels, and they're at least playing a wider variety of songs there than Music Choice's Soundscapes channel. I guess I'll be buying new speakers again tomorrow ...
While I was out I also picked up ESPN NHL 2k5 for PS2. I won't be able to do much with it for now because I also need to pick up a new memory card for my PS2, but rest assured I'll still get plenty of practice in before the upcoming Stanley Cup Finals between my Red Wings and Don's Islanders.
