My apartment is a 1br that's really a glorified studio. I'm not knocking it, I really like my apartment; save for that really nasty stale smoke smell that I can't seem to get rid of. It's a glorified studio because while it has a bedroom, the wall between the living room and the bedroom doesn't go all the way to the ceiling. It stops at about 5'.

It's kind of a neat thing, it allows air and sound to flow between the living and bed rooms. Since I live alone, the sound part of the equasion isn't a bad thing. On the contrary, it's kind of nice. I can have the Cubs game on WGN on in the other room while I'm online or working or whathave you.

Even with this sound flow, I've been listening to music almost exclusively on Han. I've always rather liked Han's speakers. They're small but they have a pretty nice sound to them. Today, while working on the syllabus for the class I'm TA'ing I decided to burn off a playlist and play it on my stereo.

Damn. Just damn. The tones were so clear and clean and rounded off. It was amazing, as if I hadn't really been listening to these songs at all. That in using Han's speakers I was, in some way, kidding. Threw me for a loop. I really need to go to Radio Shack and pick up an FM Transmitter so I can line Han out to the stereo. The only problem is, that I don't want the Fire *ping* to go out through the stereo. Han's speakers are good for that.
