psipsyAs per a recent conversation with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
animedude, I've decided that there needs to be manly air fresheners, with wondrous scents such as diesel, charcoal BBQ, gunpowder, motor/gear oil, axle grease, things like that. If I could find them, I would use them. More conventional scents like "new car" and "pine" will do in the meantime.
So I get home and there's a message on my answering machine, from an insurance company investigating someone's medical records. Now, I can understand that my number used to belong to a doctor's office, but c'mon, I've had it for over 5 years. And my answering message on it should tell anyone that it's not a doctor's office. It's not like it starts off as "Hello you have reaced the offices of ___", no mine starts off as "Hi you have reached Bob's place" while the Bottle Fairy theme plays in the background, for that extra psychotic touch. Or maybe I should change it to something more obvious?
Meanwhile, I finally put the new bulb in the projector and reset the hour counter, which was at 211 hours. I'm guessing previous owners had reset it before putting it on eBay, but then again there were a few strains put on it in the past couple years under my command. As such, I figure that using the projector cost me about a dollar an hour, not counting what I paid for it. I also discovered the carrying case itself originally retailed for about $250, and that came with the projector when I got it. tl;dr is I have a working projector again, at least for the next 200 hours or so of it being on.
Heading off to bed soon so I close with this:
