I bought laundry detergent today.

But I also sold my Wii. Good riddance. I hadn't played that thing seriously in maybe 8 months and when people come over nobody wants to play anything on it. I bought some game on WiiWare that sucked, played it for five minutes, turned it off and thought, "fuck the Wii, I'm selling it."

They went back to the original negatives for the Blu-Ray release. I watched the first episode and it looked good, you can hardly even tell it was shot on 16mm. Check out some comparison shots online, it's like night and day between this and the DVD.

The series is even more hit and miss than twilight zone, but this season has two, count 'em, two Lovecraft adaptations. Cool Air and Pickman's Model. Guillermo Del Toro does commentaries on 3 episodes--oddly on neither of the Lovecraft ones.

Also got Skins series 2, which I didn't really need to buy since I've seen it but if I keep giving british people money maybe they will continue releasing shit here

I have three of their bookcases. They're pretty sturdy and good value for the money.

Speaking of good value, these Altec Lansing speakers are well worth the $27. I think they were 70% off.

Do you know the name of a good file/folder list generator program?

The majority is organized, though.

confession:

comic cbrs are part of the reason i bought a netbook

when i scanned some of my golden age comics i always set the width to 1280

i have a box full of GA microfiche, too, but I don't know how to go about getting any of that transferred to digital
