Ebay Blues or Soooo Many Records
Man, who woulda thunk that selling stuff for Ryan on ebay would be so much work! I mean, in all my years of hocking junk in the online garage sale, I've never had so many emails about shipping or had so many jerk off people accusing me of trying to rip them off with shipping costs. Note to Americans buying things on ebay: it costs MORE to ship from Canada, not less. On the plus side, Ryan made some decent coin (assuming everyone pays up) getting rid of some old toys and magazines. For a first time, he did spectacularly well. Although I'm putting in all the work... The people at the post office are going to know me by name soon...
The other day I got my 47 record lot in that I ordered off ebay. Containing Funk, Jazz, R&B, Soul, and some Sesame Street records it was a decent little buy, despite the fact that some of the lp's turned out to be in dubious quality. I was listening to an album by a band called The Crusaders yesterday which was seemingly the bridge between funk and disco. Odd little number that one. Does anyone know what that stuff is that you use to clean lp's with? I saw some dude using a spray while at a store a while ago and never got around to asking him what the hell it was. Help in this matter would be much obliged.
I saw the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know" on Sunday. The first half, interviews with scientists about the theories of quantum physics was really interesting, although the CG and story intermissions were distracting and useless. Where the thing went all to hell was in the second half where it tried to say things about God. One of the experts interviewed in the film was supposedly the 35000 year old spirit Ramtha as channeled by a man-chick named J.Z. Knight. I shit you not... that was the caption beneath her name. Apparently the whole movie was funded by her group and was supposed to be a recruiting tool type of thing. A true cynic could see right through that little exercise!
Doom 3 is very cool. Very scary, but very cool.
