psipsyMy Ocha-ken DVDs arrived! But they didn't have the DVD cases. Just the discs in binder sleeves and the inserts. Well, I thought I had some spare cases. Except I don't, gotta get some more. Except every brick-and-mortar store around stopped carrying them. So I have to buy those online. Well, if I have to get them like that, I'll get a bunch. Now I have a whole box of them that cost less than what I would have spent to drive out and get just enough. To that end, I found a decent non-Amazon source. In fact it's better than Amazon.
I've been going through my anime files on my server and replacing the really old files with newer versions, as available. The old .avi files from 20+ years ago were gentle on my old PowerBook, but they don't upscale well on modern displays.
Is it too soon to be getting parts and supplies for my lawnmower? Nah. At this time of year when I don't urgently need them, a week for shipping is hardly noticed, and if I need to order another part and wait another week, that's fine too. If I wait until the main thrust of the growing season, 2-day shipping would feel like an eternity.
When I was a teenager, music from 35 years earlier would have been the 50s "doo-wop" music. Music from 35 years from ago now would include Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Guns 'n Roses, Motley Crue, Van Halen, and countless other wonderful musical acts. Meanwhile, Youtube was trying to suggest a video about cocaine's influence on modern music. I didn't watch the video, nor did I need to. The title alone explained everything. Thanks, cocaine!

Seriously, I'll be over here brushing the cold hand of death off my shoulder, thanks....
