Wierd Stuff I Still Have Hanging Around, Exhibit 8378:

Giving the house a deep and thorough cleaning these last few weeks. Between the time in Texas, the pinched nerve, and other craziness going on, I hadn't really cleaned house since about August.
Still about thirty loads of dishes to do. And the bathrooms. But that can wait until tomorrow.

ESPECIALLY the bathrooms....

"The codename is Lonely...uh...Lovely Angel!" Found a Dirty Pair outfit in SL, and bought it immediately. Little embarassed by it....

...but only a little.

Awww. the Blu Rays of the first episode of Doctor Who's The Chase cut the Beatles scene out of it, I'm guessing for rights reasons. Thankfully I still have my old VHS capture of it that has it in there, but it's sad it was cut out.

I'm watching Carl Sagan's original Cosmos. I miss Carl, and his ability to turn science into imagination.

LB - They said "I need time to mourn" until my sister passed away, and that's when they realized they weren't really mourning at all.

"Relativistic spaceflight makes the Universe accessable to advance civilizations...but only to those who go on the journey, not to those that stay home." --Carl Sagan

There's a story there.

Current Mood:

Given my terrible early exposure to the Furry community in the 90s, I gotta say, they ended up being amazing allies in my later years.

Heh.

So I do Friday Night Dr Who.
Saturday Nights I do the Sci Fi Theater.
Sunday I do the "ABC Sunday Night Movie."

I'm realizing now that enough of my video archive is on Plex that I can start doing:

Sunday Night British TV (Like I watched back in the 80s on KLRN)
Saturday Morning Cartoons
Sunday Anime (like the old C/FO meetings)

I'm could freaking be my own personal TV Station....

Something I see when I look at my collection of Transformers is how incomplete and worn they are. And unlike a lot of collectors, I don't mind this. I don't need perfect toys, sealed mint in box. I like knowing that these toys were played with an enjoyed as a kid.

I remember some decades ago, when a friend visited my apartment with her son, he started playing with my Jetfire figure. She said "you probably shoudln't play with that." I said "No, it's quite alright. Just be gentle and don't break it."

Toys are meant for playing with and enjoying. Sometimes, enjoying them is keeping them in a box to look at admiringly. Sometimes, it's transforming all your guys into Devastator and flying him around the house.
