Glorious New Stereo

After months of being annoyed to the point of severe frustration with my old car stereo, I opted to purchase a new one with my mass amounts of cash (haha). So I picked up a DUAL brand stereo. Not knowing much about car electronics, I had taken out my old stereo to see how it was connected, and I figured putting a new one in couldn't be that hard. And for once, I was right. I figured I'd just connect the back to the old plug, but that didn't work, so after a little online browsing I figured I would just start snipping wires, and if that didn't work, I'd bring it to someone who knew what was going on. Luckily I didn't have that problem.


My new stereo fixes literally every problem that my old stereo had. It's got a nice AUX imput so I can plug my Zen into it (that's a Creative MP3 player for all you ipod owners) and, get this, a freakin' USB port so I can plug a flashdrive into it and it will play the songs off of that. I recently got some podcasts and stuck them on my flashdrive so I can listen to them on the way to work (and not fall asleep).
All in all I'd say I'm really happy with the purchase. For once!

I'll be gone from Wednesday until Saturday afternoon, we have a four day shoot at Willow, and I've convinced them I need a hotel room. If I had to drive that much at night with little sleep in between, well, I don't know what I'd do.
