How Good Are Your Ears?

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 21:23:50 GMT

Tonometric.com has a few listening tests on the site. I thought I had pretty bad hearing, but I got 75% on the tonedeaf test and a reliable range of 0.6 Hz on the adaptive pitch one. According to this tone test from another site, the highest pitch I can hear is 14,000 Hz, which is horrible, but it it means I can annoy the carp out of the rest of my family by playing really high obnoxious sounds that only they can hear.

12:00, Happy Birthday to Me

...
Hooray, I'm 17 now! I guess that means I can play M-rated games, watch R-rated movies, and drive between midnight and 5 AM. Cwap, I've already done all those things. Oh well.

In other news, Jesus is also celebrating his 2010th (?) birthday today...

We watched this part of Whose Line in speech yesterday. It was great.

If you haven't joined Facebook yet, you probably should.
That's all I can think of right now. I thought about going to that one concert, but I didn't get home from work early enough anyways.

So, it was Renee's birthday in Spanish 3 today, and her parents randomly suprised her and brought Mexican food to the whole class. So I had some quesadilla thing for lunch, and it was good. I had the last XC race of the year yesterday, and I got 19:00 flat, which is decent considering mud and race sickness. Next up will be the Andy Tauietmeyer 8K if that happens. I almost for sure won't make it to regionals tomorrow, so I might just call someone to see who won (or got 3rd...) I made it anyways. That's all for now, I had to update since I haven't in like a month. I'm watching the Tigers in the WS, and it's not a fun thing to watch right now.

Magglio just got thrown out on a ground ball he should've beaten out. Sean Casey just hit a double. Now Pudge grounded out. Placido kept it alive with a walk. Brandon Inge strikes out. What else is new.

Okay, I'm going to call this an update.
This is a video of the Dodger's comeback a couple nights ago. You can watch the whole game if you want at Part 1 and Part 2.

I was right! The crosswalk buttons are fake!

So we got to run at the scrimmage and go camping. I did the scrimmage thing in 19:42, so it was good there's plenty of room for improvement. My link tag time was 14.21, so I'm within a second of my PR in that. My poison ivy is gone, too. I tried to follow the leaves of three, leave 'em be rule, but it uses incorrect grammar so how am I supposed to remember it? I had that last week all over my face and my eyes got so swelled up I could hardly open them. I still had 20/15 vision (while propping my eye open with two hands) fortunately. It means I have to be extra careful not to get a cold this week like I did last year at this time. I bet I caught it from touching one of those frikkin crosswalk buttons.

Yay, Colbert video on Wikipedia... (I don't feel like posting the whole video here so I'll just post a link)

I went golfing with Andy today. There was this par 3 where he hit it on to the green, and then I hit it and it rolled and knocked his ball closer to the green. We both parred so it was pretty good.
