I have a Super Sekret Project.

And for this project I need to buy a microphone, because the speakers/mic on my laptop are shit. My friend is willing to lend me her stuff, but the difference is going to her house four times a week (and I definitely don't have the time in my week for that) to use her ridiculously expensive complicated pro equipment, or forking over the twenty bucks for a low-grade but reliable mic of my own. The thing is, I don't imagine the sound quality will be all that drastically different, and the time and effort involved in going to her house as often as I'll need to get this done before the end of summer is probably not an option, but damn is it tempting.

...and damn, do my my laptop mics sound awful. Whatever, I'm just impatient. The sooner I get started, the sooner I...get a third of the way through and quit dramatically, probably. But still. I really want to be able to do this thing.
