My Adventures in Hi Fi Fi:
Date: 2005-10-01, 9:07AM PDT
I've got a nice pair of 2 way classic Advent legacy speakers that need a new home. Nothing wrong with them I've just got too many speakers. The cabinets feature a 10" long throw woofer (just re-foamed and good for another 20+ yrs.) and a 1" tweeter and they sound great. All of the drivers work as they should. The cabinets are black vinyl with a solid pecan wood top. There are a few scratches on the sides and the grills have a few small rub holes up against the grill frame but like I said they sound great and are a great value. Call Joe
well I did and ended up with a BeoVox which is currently blaring out Dave Mathews...
Have you ever heard of Clips horn speaker?? I had the opportunity yesterday. It is a piece of furniture. The cross section is a work of cabinetry.
I answer Joe's Craig's list and drove out to the country to see the Advent Legacy. Joe's house is full of speakers and other junk. His wife puts up with it and he makes decent money from his hobby restoring old speakers that he finds at garage sales. Joe knows his product and has a discerning eye and instinct for the valuable rare collector's items. His wife tells me he has netted profits beyond what he pays for. The speakers had fetched a grand on EBay.
His wife desperately wants him to get rid of his junks. Joe is a musician, a drummer to be exact. He has several pairs of drum kits. One set has a very low serial number.
He took me to another room and left me there to peruse over a cabinet while he look for a pair of BeoVox. I accidentally knocked over a cardboard box full of white socks and other dirty laundries.
I should have brought a camera with me. Joe is very convincing and a good sales man. He doesn’t much like his day job and has reduced his hours to tend audiophile business. I wish I was more productive in my hobbies.
I'm really happy to google tool bar with spell checks. I don't have to use word to check the spelling.

For diner tonight I made spaghetti. Standards have decided to give us a kitchen aid refrigerator because the whirlpool in Satin is out of stock. I’m happy that mom got the big refrigerator and the new stove. I’m begging to think of topics or subject not to write about. I’m editing before writing.
For lunch, I went to Chen’s Open Kitchen and wrote in my journal while I ate beef low mien.
Idea for writing…. write about visiting my father’s grave. It’s been more then ten years since I visited my father’s gram. It’s the first time I visited. There weren’t many fresh flowers. Because the Chinese are afraid of ghosts. The fresh flowers are of the fresh grave. Here I’m trying not to get into too deep or too intimate. My mind is distracted into thinking about repetitive writings. In one way it’s good to revise and rewrite these ideas. Afternoon office birthday party, Autumn suddenly got more information out of me then I had wanted to reveal. She told me her past boyfriend was 38 years old. They have 16 years apart. Her mother was dating and is still dating some one much younger then she. I found out that they got marry because of her. I told autumn the story of how I came to America.

condo notes
We have been having very bad luck with the refrigerator. Maybe it's because I married someone born on the 13th. My wife thinks so.
The delivery man was late because he for got his tools.
I took a nap while I waited at home for the delivery truck to arrive.
The refrigerator door is damaged so we will have to get another one and wait another day

cuerpo on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
cuerpo on Flickr - Photo Sharing!: "?The entire mystery of pleasure in a woman?s body lies in the intensity of the pulsation just before the orgasm. Sometimes it is slow, one-two-three, three palpitations which then project a fiery and icy liqueur through the body. If the palpitation is feeble, muted, the pleasure is like a gentler wave. The pocket seed of ecstasy bursts with more or less energy, when it is richest it touches every portion of the body, vibrating through every nerve and cell. If the palpitation is intense, the rhythm and beat of it is slower and the pleasure more lasting. Electric flesh-arrows, a second wave of pleasure falls over the first, a third which touches every nerve end, and now the third like an electric current traversing the body. A rainbow of color strikes the eyelids. A foam of music falls over the ears. It is the gong of the orgasm. There are times when a woman feels her body but lightly played on. Others when it reaches such a climax it seems it can never surpass. So many climaxes. Some caused by tenderness, some by desire, some by a word or an image seen during the day. There are times when the day itself demads a climax, days of which do not end in a climax, when the body is asleep or dreaming other dreams. There are days when the climax is not pleasure but pain, jealousy, terror, anxiety. And there are days when the climax takes place in creation, a white climax. Revolution is another climax. Sainthood another.?

lexly87bungee
i went bungee jumping for the first time in aug 14 2005
It’s not as bad as one would think…at first I was against it
But when we got there it was not as high as it was in our mind.
Yes it was the crazy polish couple that urged us on.
Nina really wanted to try it and I didn’t want to stop her. I didn’t want to be left out of the experience either.
They got about seven people to go jumping. More girls then guys actually. There was one other couple.
A bunch of people from another group that we didn’t know.
I saw an old man jump so I decided that I would go to it.
The father and his daughter and son jumped. They try to get the mother to jump but she didn’t want to. The daughter didn’t make a sound. We all scream like mad.
Nina jumped before me and I jumped last in the group. I didn’t want to and didn’t decide to jump until the last minute. So for me I didn’t spend so much time fretting about it.
It’s very strange feeling…hard to write about it. It’s similar to an awakening. The first step off into air is amazing really. You don’t hear or see anything for a few seconds and then you see the ground rushing towards you. I closed my eyes then. The ride up because of the bungee bounce is strangest and this happens for two times. We all hang in mid air and stay like that for a few seconds. It’s all very disorientating.
We both decided to do only one jump in our lives and we wouldn’t do it again. But it’s safe because we saw many jumps and it’s not logical that you can fall form the harness. It’s very tight fit.
We talk about it more after the jump and now have an intense shared experience.
