| Do you want my DVD player? |
[Jul. 15th, 2009|06:39 pm] |
It may not work. Here's the thing: I have a region-free DVD player. It'll play just about anything (there are some recordable DVDs that give it trouble) it seems to work well, or, rather, it seemed to work well until about a week ago when it just...stopped. There was a DVD in there and I couldn't even get the thing to turn on so I could take the disc out. (It was The Best of James.)
I unplugged it and plugged it back in to a couple of different outlets, I tried opening it and turning it on with the remote control and with the buttons on the front. Nothing. So I ordered another DVD player from the internet and it got here today. I hooked it up and it works and Im happy and hooray, right?
Well, then, just for a lark, I plugged the old DVD player into the wall (in an outlet that I had already tried before), pressed the "open" button and the damned thing opened. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
So, Tommy's happy, because he can watch that damned train again, and I'm happy because I have apparently one more region-free DVD player than I need, and you can be happy if you want to old one.
Now, there are no guarantees that this thing is going to work. Once I discovered that it opened, I was too done with the whole thing to hook it back up and test it out again. SIDE NOTE: Nothing in the world gets me as fucking frustrated and ready to kill everything ever than hooking up audio/video equipment. Crawling around plugging in RCA cables and coaxial whatever whatever bullshit blah blah blah makes me want to fight the world (I would lose) but I digress.
Do you want it? It's a JVC XV-N310 and it had a remote control, and it probably works.
I don't think I want money for this thing, because I don't want to take anyone's money for something that might work. If you have some candy or a record or something cool that I may want to have that you don't want anymore, we can work something out.
Honestly, I may like it better than the new one because the new one makes it a little harder to skip over all the bullshit commercials that DVDs have at the beginning of them now. Whatever.
You want it? |

Ahhhhhhhh fuck. You know? Just...fuck. I mean really. You know because I haven't done anything here or anywhere in a while and then I just read this thing that my Wife wrote and she's right, you know. Oh, wait. Go ahead and read that for context or whatever. I will wait.
So, okay, I am obsessed with doing things and I feel like I don't do anything which I guess I know is untrue, but it makes it hard to shake the feeling you know. I used to at least get stuff out there, even if they were stupid little 'zines about MODOK or Greenland or whatever. But I don't anymore. And I should. And maybe I will. I think that this is a direct result of the fact that my Wife and I are surrounded on all sides by people who produce amazing things all of the time. I am luckier than shit because I am actual friends with people who are amazing artists (visually, musically, whatever). Shit dude, I can actually call probably half of my 10 favorite cartoonists in the world on the phone right now and they would know who I am and would talk to me. That's fucking amazing. So yeah, maybe I'm playing on an un-level field or whatever, but I've been feeling the itch lately to do something. We'll see, I guess.
I love you all. |

Okay, I know it's not a huge deal, but it was certainly something I'm not accustomed to seeing at work, so I took some pictures of it. It was awesome. Please feel free to view my photos of what I will call Firehose Fest 2009. It was awesome and you are sad you missed it.

I went to see The English Beat at the 40 Watt last night. I did not think I was going to go, but my friend and co-worker Jon Hall won 2 passes from the radio and gave them both to me. I gave one to a stranger. I would have given it to Kris, but he'd already paid for a ticket.
It was WAY better than I thought it would be. I had quite a bit of fun and realized that I knew quite a few more songs by The English Beat than I thought I did.
Several people were drunk and hilarious. HILARIOUS. Especially the girl who took off her shirt, poured beer over her head, made out with another girl and let her boyfriend dry-hump her in front of everyone. CLASSY! I should start drinking!
After the show, a hobo gave Kris a ring that he "pulled out of the trash". They are married now.

You probably need to watch The Decline of Western Civilization Part 2: The Metal Years.
