I'm supposed to be at work. Instead, I'm taking the afternoon off at a place called The Huntington Library & Gardens, watching koi swim by, and listening to a live gu zheng player. About to order some tea. Here is the view I'm looking at right now.
Sounds awesome. I go to the local Taoist temple (they call it a "holy house") to meditate and relax in their gardens when it's warmer, it's a wonderful place.
I need to learn how to work out. I'm pretty scrawny. The only thing is I have no idea how. Whenever I go to the gym I realize I have no idea what I'm doing. so bad.

If you are thin and wish to get a bit bigger, what you are eating is as important. And I always thought finding a sport you like is much more efficient than going to the gym if you are not used to it. You will just give up at some point...
I think she meant that you got tricked by somebody's avatar, as Muppet didn't say anything about Sheena Easton. Go back a page, and you'll find that post, belonging to Vuroth. You got TMAC'd.
Edit: MF's new avatar is a creepy looking Tyll Hertsens with pink hair.
Dang, that's really bad. Hope they try and rush it once it gets up in the air. I didn't think China was having bad weather right now? lol
At least it's not due to protests/riots like something I ordered a couple years ago from some Asian country.
Also, that anime looks pretty familiar, but I can't put my finger on where it's from... -_-

Eh, I doubt it's anything that bad. Maybe the weather or something like that. Even if something like that happened, at least it should be fully insured.
*Personal rant here*
This is reason #463 why I'm probably going to get CIEMs from 1964ears. They are close enough that there shouldn't be any issues with shipping. And if there are, I can drive down there and pick them up myself.
Put it this way DigitalFreak. The same thing happened to another headfier and he got off Scott-free from paying Customs Duties. Looks like UPS let it go since they delayed his IEMs (which is unacceptable considering the price paid for shipping).
Flat-4's are in da house. Think I'm gonna need some brain burn in, but man, dat sub bass is jumping out at me at the moment, kick drums sound like they have palpable weight to them. Bass in general sounds quite good, very articulate and capable. Comply's are doing a fine job of rapin my ears as well. Yikes. I think I'm also hearing these as possessing some great depth and width so far.
I close my eyes and they sound pretty immense, listening to Beach House right now and it manages the illusion of making me feel like I'm listening to something far larger as the image becomes diffuse. I can hear layers of Lapis Lazuli that I couldn't make out on the ES5.
Listening to The Dead Weather right now and the instruments sound so good. The music has never had this much texture to me. The Flat-4 is quite transparent too, there's quite the variance to how it presents different albums in terms of soundstaging and imaging. I was underwhelmed upon first listen until I realized that the ES5 was imposing its signature on every track making everything sound eminently listenable.
Yep the Flat 4s are heartless on ****ty recordings. Almost to the point where I have to really turn down the volume on certain tracks due to this. But on well recorded tracks, wow . The complys don't work for me, the large is too small, seems like a medium sized tip lol....
I think they sound flippin amazing right now, but yeah, sub par production does no favors at all, it's something that the ES5 does very well for me, in that it makes everything sound real nice

@warren dayum that place looks like the perfect place to read some warhammer 40k in one sitting.

Sounds better than working! I must confess to having had to Google "gu zheng".
That is a lovely view.... it looks perfect for enjoying a cup of Earl Grey and some soothing tunes.

Great to see you pursue restoration. This contribution made my entire week...and it's only Wednesday!

Thanks! I didn't think I'd enjoy it (as it was kind of an obligation). But I ended up de-stressing for a little while, which helped. And once the sun came out, it became all awesome and stuff.
Here's where I was sitting when I snapped the pics above (and I ultimately went with Oolong BTW).
BTW Silent, they've got a waterside cafe there. We should do up this joint when you get back.
And finally, here are two more views of the place showing: (a) what all of that looks like from the other side; and (b) what the path to the Japanese Garden looks like as you leave the Chinese Garden.
