Nike and Sony

Posted by Elliswordpress on February 10, 2015February 10, 2015

I finally managed to get a new pair of running shoes- really important with my stairs training now. I got a pair of Air Maxs at the Nike outlet and same as before, they are perfect for me. I really need it for my toe striking.

So much air. I’m glad I ended up with these instead of the funky Adidas shoes. I would have been worrying about when the blades were going to snap off

I pulled all my old portable media players out of my storage and now I’m pairing my anniversary CD Walkman D-Ej01 with the PHA-2 amp. Its surprisingly nothing amazing- I was expecting a little more from a lossless media format.

In other news, browsing local classified ads has led me to the L series Sony VAIO all in one. I would love to own one of these glass beauties. Too bad the specs are really low. They are absolutely gorgeous.

I also want one of these one day- the last generation L series before Sony stopped making desktops, then computers altogether. Image from Stuff magazine. I really love the styling on this machine and the lit Sony logo.

I picked up another SmartBand for five bucks! The Brazil edition too! Looks like Sony did an absolutely poor job marketing this and nobody knows what it is for. I don’t mind- I got it cheap- just 5% of the MSRP of 99 dollars. Local classifieds is working well.

I also picked up a Sony Clock/photo frame and suddenly realized how badly my photography was in need of being shared. Its just locked in my hard drive and nobody gets to see it until I boot my computer and open the images. Its been pretty exciting watching all the photos stream by while I do work. Another local classifieds find, I got it for 30 bucks from the original 170 bucks! And in perfect shape. And it can charge my old 30 pin Apple iDevices. Win.

Drove by the old A&B Sound location and got sad. I used to hit this place hard, especially on boxing day. Its funny how they shut down because of Best Buy and Futureshop, and now the latter are also struggling. A&B Sound sold some really awesome enthusiast equipment.

I went to Target looking for store furnishings. After failing to acquire any Sony store furnishings, I was hopeful when they said that store furnishings could be bought. The Sony headphone stand unfortunately was nowhere as good as the Sony store demo kiosk. The PS4 kiosk was pretty neat but I’m not a big gamer and it wouldn’t be as good. I might put my name in anyways and see if I can get it.

Its always sad to me seeing close outs. I hate endings. I do think Target Canada would have been awesome. I was really getting used to them and starting to like shopping there.

Went rock climbing the other day and had a blast- it was a lot more difficult than I remember it to be and I was stupid and did a shoulder workout right before, so I had no upper body strength. Super challenging.

Made lobacgo with the folks and fam on the weekend. It turned out absolutely delicious.

Parents and fam made a nice dinner to sit down to- chicken from the deli and shrimp/peppers. I made sure mom didn’t overcook the shrimp. I totally hate overcooked food.

Cooking the remaining hot pot over the grill- so much more tastier than the hot pot I think.
