what's app
Dec. 6th, 2016 12:47 pmwhat have I been up to? Been writing a new Let's Anime column to get my "one a month" requirement for the year completed. Helped David Simmons move the weekend before last, I rented a cargo van instead of driving the Yaris back and forth, and it went pretty well. Weather has been holding steady but we should see some snow this weekend. This past weekend I put the radio Neil gave us into the car. I had to splice the wire harness, which is kind of a pain, which we did while watching "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians".
We bought a tree! This is the first Xmas tree I have ever bought in my life. It's tiny, but it's a live tree, in a pot with dirt, maybe we can keep it alive for a while, that would be nice.
Also bought a new cushion for the ottoman and a new frying pan and some other general household stuff. Went out walking on Sunday and had a great lunch of big flat Western Chinese noodles at some place in Scarborough. Watched the big four-part Supergirl-Arrow-Flash-Legends crossover and it was so much like reading a late 1980s superhero comic that I thought for a minute I was having to dig these out of longboxes. It's guilty pleasure TV. Unsure as to why you put the Atom in a TV show and NOT have him shrink down to tiny size, but whatever; I won't be watching any more of any of those other shows so if he does ever shrink down I'll never know. We did also see the Dr. Strange movie and it's a pretty good movie, you should catch it in 3D if you can.
Anyway the new radio works great, it needs an antenna for the GPS, but the FM and AM reception is great (our last car radio simply did not get AM) and the CD player works and there's a USB input for playing MP3s from flash drives, etc. I am still whittling down the dashboard frame to make it fit properly, though. It won't look great but it'll look better than the gaping hole that used to be there. We'll be driving down to Atlanta starting on the 22nd and it'll be nice to listen to crazy local and not-so-local AM stations again.
