And in other eBay news, I may have gotten some old 1985 item at, like, a quarter of the usual “collector’s market” price. Not sure if the item isn’t quite what I thought, or if nobody was paying attention (it was a pretty short auction). We’ll see when it arrives!
I don’t get the practice of “sniping” items on eBay at the end of an auction? I just put my maximum bid from the start and don’t think about it anymore. If I wasn’t willing to pay more than that 2 weeks ago, I’m not gonna be either 2 minutes before the end.
When the good fluffy boy wants me to enter the Black Lodge…
More first impressions on The Avengers: we know that Emma Peel, played by the forever wonderful Diana Rigg, is everybody’s favourite, but her predecessor, Cathy Gale, played by Honor Blackman, is super awesome too! And probably even more groundbreaking for the time!
Another old TV series I’m (re)watching is “The Avengers”. I skipped season 1 since almost all episodes have been lost, and headed into season 2. Episode 7 has Steed being tortured by Nazi dentists! Almost 15 years before Marathon Man! Amazing.
I’m a few days late but I finally got around to do it this year! The younger kid helped, too.
We still have some pretty spectacular hair-ice here every now and then. That is, until the good fluffy boy completely destroys it.
Firefly and Serenity were good. Buffy was good. I don’t need reboots or sequels or whatever. What I’d rather have are original and diverse new premises and stories. In the meantime, I’ll be watching old stuff I missed.
When someone points at problems with the excesses of late-stage capitalism, there’s always some dumbass who replies “well what do you want then? make everything free?!” and half the time it’s somebody you thought was actually educated 😬
A few weeks ago, the good fluffy boy and I were up in Squamish and we found an off-leash park that apparently doesn’t really “end” anywhere as much as it leads up out in the wild and onto the mountains…
