ld play
Every time I turn on the TV or the radio the news gets worse; at some point I will retreat into a cocoon and do nothing but read Archie digests for a few weeks. Thursday I was all freaked out because my gmail account got hacked, but Friday AM my troubles suddenly got a lot smaller. I had to go into work on Friday night so that was kind of a welcome distraction. Saturday Donald and David came over and we went to Liberty Noodle and had some dinner; I had seen the place reviewed on a few blogs - even a few negative reviews, which in my opinion are completely unwarranted. I've never had a bad meal there and the sweet potato chips are excellent. Sunday we went out into the hinterlands and hit a few flea markets we hadn't hit in a while. Nothing incredibly outstanding presented itself to us, other than one place giving us the boot at 5pm. This was the place where, a couple of years ago, we found somebody selling a laser disc player and 5 movies for $150. Gee, I said as we went in, I wonder if that LD player is still here?
Yes it is! Same twine wrapping, same handwritten note, same price.
So if you know anybody who needs a LD player and a copy of "In The Name Of The Father" and wants to pay about three times what the whole package is worth, let me know!
We took a roundabout way home, had a mediocre meal at the Applebees in Mississauga, got some supplies at the Krispy Kreme, and then I came home and worked on the newest ZERO FIGHTER page. Afterwards, inspired by our journey, I hauled out the LD player and watched some of the MACROSS movie, which as lovely as it is, is about the survivors of a terrible cataclysm, and as such this week is a little too real, and about two thirds of GALAXY EXPRESS 999, which remains my favorite Matsumoto-inspired work of animation.
WHAT JAPAN DOESN'T NEED: your weepy fanart of "Japan" from Hetalia, your website where you can "light a virtual candle" and "think good thoughts." Cash instead, fellas. Maybe it's harder to wave around to show everybody how deeply you care, but it gets the job done. Fanart don't.
