Life without music
My IPod broke (actually a clone, the IRiver H-120) and I'm without my portable music.
So for the first time in some time I experienced my 1 hour commute without musical accompaniment. It was a sort of eerie experience. I'd become so used to blocking out the real world and its sounds that I forgot what to expect. Today I listened to the grinding of the train wheels along the tracks, the background mumur of conversation (very subdued at 6:00 am) and the light pinging of rain against the metail railroad car. At first it was jarring, but then I was lulled into a mild sleep.
The manufacturer is sending me a new device, but for a few days, I think I'll enjoy experiencing the sounds of life in NY. Now if we could only do something about the smells.
