Based on Kate’s recommendation, I ordered the same kind, only in white, as they were on sale.  The black are, too, for 24.65 (so I would have spent more for free shipping) but the white are 26.59, so already, free shipping!

I liked the price of the over the ear kind much BETTER, but in the reviews it mentioned being annoying for glasses-wearers, which I am. Not a lot of real estate behind my ears, and vision trumps iPod, so 26 dollar earbuds trump 7 dollar clips. Dammit. But, I figure (in my constantly rationalizing mind) that since the iPod was FREE, and the phones were on SALE for 35% off, I win.

Also, I have a UPS tracking number for Dave’s guitar, it left Earth City, MO this morning, according to my new package tracking widget, and yet, my card has not yet been billed. If this is some sort of "oh, we sent your free catalog first and thought you’d like the tracking number" BS, I will be SO PISSED.  (ETA: The weight of the package is consistent with ‘guitar’ and not ‘free catalog’ so I’m confident the guitar is on its way.  If it arrives and I’ve still not been charged, I’ll call them. I so do NOT want to fuck with karma in the 2WW.)
