    I'm scared to do the test because it will give me one more thing to obsess over when I get home.

    My girlfriend came in the door and was astonished that I was listening to Tracy Chapman.

    I thought it sounded better distorted. For the loooongest time, I thought she......was.....a.....he. She sounds like a he. It wasn't until I saw her on TV that I found out he......was......a......she. What's the word.......hmmm......oh yes......CRAP!

    Cool site tho.

    I made it to -30. The key to this test was DIC TION! They almost made it too easy. Tracy Chapman doesn't know good diction to to save her life! Once they cleared up the music all you had to do was focus on her and you could pretty much tell what was what.

    I only made it to -18 with my stereo set-up. I'll have to do this several times for training, I guess. Maybe I could have done better if everybody wasn't asleep and I could've turned it up a bit.

    ...Tracy "sing you got a fast car" even one more time, change the test over to
    "TERZ" test.
    I was able to get to -45 three times in a row.

    It's like the "Its a small world ride" at Disneyland, you learn to hate that song in every single language.
