late night music

I think I've realised that my ears are somehow linked to BoingBoing. Tenuous, but bear with me.

Recently there has been a spate of posts about ear-wax cleaning on BoingBoing - leading to many many people wondering when it is all going to end. Now, I've long been a firm anti-ear-wax person, frequently cleaning them out. My reasoning was that I quite frequently use ear-buds and headphones - making me prone to an increase in ear-wax build up, if my urban mythology serves me correctly.

I wondered whether there was anything to this sudden craze. And so one night, at about 3am, I took off my headphones. And it was then I realised I'd been wearing them for too long.



Yep, that's right. I have custom ear-shape-imprinted headphones.
